Let's make some pretty Flowers ...
01. Use your 1-2" circle and cut 8 circles out of your medium ( I am using fabric you can use mulberry paper/ tissue / not cardstock or paper)
02. Your tiny circle ( I am using an 1/2" circle and fold in half both ways to get the middle ( I placed a red dot for tutorial ease-DO NOT EYEBALL IT - YOUR FLOWER MAY TURN OUR LOP SIDED)
03. Fold one of your circles in half
04. Place a dot of glue in the middle and fold in half again (hot glue gun does work best)
05.Place another dot of glu and glue the petal to the circle - using your middle point as the mark.
06. Do this 4 more times - working clockwise and layering a little of each petal .. The bottom tier has 5 petals .
07. You should end up with something that looks like this :
08. Cut your three remaining circles in half. then trim off 1/8" from the straight edge ( you want layer two to be a tiny bit smaller than bottom layer)
09. Do a running stitch along the straight edge of the circle. ( 6 of them )
10. Gather the thread .. play with it .. and do not gather too tight .. just tight enough to form a nice circle . Cut off excess thread .
11. Place a dot of glue on the bottom layer (5 petals) and place the top layer ( 6 petals) on top
12. Glue your center piece and voila .... Our pretty flower !
