Hand made flowers from waste fabric


hey guys take a look at the flowers that i have made within 2 mins per each flower.  . .i will explain you the procedure how to make these beautiful flowers. . .first take a look at them. .  



procedure: 1. Take 3 or 2 different colored clothes that are quite contrasting and of ur interest
2. take the first cloth and cut 12 squares of 3 different sizes so you will have 4 small squares, 4 medium squares and 4 large squares and the size of the flower will be the size of ur largest square.
3. similarly repeat with the other fabric.. .
4. then cut out a scallop shape out of each piece (of all the pieces).
5. there is a very easy method to cut out a scallop with 3 to 4 pieces at a time.
i can explain it easily in the video but i will try to simplify and tell you. .
How to cut a scallop: take 3 or 4  pieces of the same size square then fold it into half then again fold it into its half. and you will get a small square. . then fold it again to make a triangle. . then again fold the triangle into its half. . then u will have a small peak and a large peak in that triangle. . then hold the full triangle and cut an inverted 'u' shape below the  small peak.and properly trim the edge of that inverted 'u' shape. .see that all the layers of the triangle are cut. . then open it tada!!! that will be in the scallop shape. .
6. then arrange them from bigger to smaller from bottom to top respectively. . and arrange the colors as u like. . but the sizes must be in the order . .
7. After arranging hold it in the center and give one small stitch in the center
8. at the end stitch a bead or a button or stick a bling at the center. .
9. try with different colors and different shapes. .go where ever your imagination takes you
10. then finally stick a small piece of felt behind not allowing the stitch to break . .
11 attach a hair pin for a hair clip or stick them to your hair band or attach a safety pin to pin it to your dress. . and play with them. . you can even make wall hangings etc.... and much more. . these pretty flowers add more color to ur life. . bye guys ill come up with other craft in my next post ta ta. . keep smiling and crafting. . .:) :)
