So here are the results from my very first DIY project.
Supplies:
First, I cut the fabric into small circles. I made a variety of sizes, from three-and-a-half inches to one inch in diameter in half-inch increments. I figured they didn’t have to be perfect around the edges because I was gonna burn them anyway.
I just held the edges over the flame until they started to melt a little. If you get too close the fabric will actually burn, so be careful. Also, if you hold the center over the flame, it gives it that pinched look that also makes the flowers less flat.
Ta-da…this is the base for my first flower! Easy-peasy.
Then I just had to make about 50 more…le sigh!
Once I had a few dozen, I started to build little flowers, and then I just added a little stitch through the center with pink thread to hold them together. Once they were all done, I attached them to these cute little shirts I made for my bridesmaids.
I can’t show you the final product because it’s a surprise for my bridesmaids, BUT I will be sure to post after the ladies have seen them.
Have you made fabric flowers? If so, what did you use them for?
I made satin ribbon flower bouquets as part of my “Will you be my bridesmaid” set 
sooo much work, but in the end it was worth it.
cant wait to see how yours turn out!
Wow those are beautiful! Great job - I can’t wait to see the finished product.
So crafty! The look so pretty. Can’t wait to see the finished product!
I made these but yours came out much better! They look so cute
I made some as well, for my hair and the bridesmaid’s hair, and as bouts for the boys.
I found that each fabric burns differently, which will give you completely different results.
They’re totally easy, and so adorable!
cute! cant wait to see how it looks with the shirts.
I made a whole bunch of these ones for my wedding:

There were 2 small and 1 large on each table. I also had one in my hair
Wicked cute! Does the type of fabric you use matter? And what did you do with the tulle? Can’t wait to see the finished product! This looks like something my girls would love too.
Great job…the funny thing is that I haven’t even tried to make this flower type yet!

[...] The project? Fabric flowers. Like many other brides out there, I decided to try my hand at these after seeing numerous tutorials online. The method I used was the same as the one as Miss Pancake’s, so I’m going to be lazy and point you to her tutorial here. [...]

Mrs. Pancakes, New York/Costa Rica Age and Occupation: 26, Law School Student Fiance's Age and Occupation: 27, Latin American Policy Analyst Engagement Date: March 12, 2010 Wedding Date: May 2011 Venue: Casa Punto de Vista About Me: I’m a perfectionist with a big heart. I love a good laugh and firmly believe no one has ever regretted being prepared! My motto is “go big or go home.” I am incapable of doing anything in moderation, especially when it comes to shopping, TV, food and travel, and some would say wedding planning! The other half of this nearlywed team is a laid-back, adventure-loving, accident prone, sweetie from LA. He makes me laugh, is always down for an impromptu dance party, and totally indulges most of my hare-brained schemes. Now, in my final year of law school, we’ll be spending the spring abroad in Amsterdam and planning a DIY, whimsical, detail-filled destination wedding in Costa Rica!
