Easy Peasy T-Shirt Fabric Flowers

There was a lot of interest for the Fabric Flowers from last weekend's workshop.  I thought I'd publish the pattern here, for anyone looking to keep on making flowers!  This pattern is the no-sew version.  If you are so inclined, it is very doable to put a tiny hand stitch in each fold as you go along, rather than the hot glue.  Either way, you'll have an adorable accessory by the time you are finished.

Easy Peasy T-Shirt Fabric Flowers

1.  Draw a circle on the back of your t-shirt scrap and cut it out.
2.  Mark the center of your circle with a small dot.
3.  Put a small amount of hot glue on the dot.  Fold the bottom edge of the circle up to meet the dot
     and glue.  Fold the top edge to the dot and glue.  Repeat for the two side edges, bringing them to 
     the center and gluing.  
4.  Take one corner and slightly unfold it.  Bring this up to the circle and glue.  Repeat for the other 
     three corners.
5.  Embellish the center with buttons, beads or gems.  DONE!  

The trickiest part of this pattern is Step 4.  It might help if you think about origami and how sometimes corners are unfolded and brought to the center.  It's the same idea.

Make lots!  Enjoy the process!
