Fabric flower tutorials

Thank you Shelley!

I have been searching for tutorials on how-to make fabric flowers. I wanted a no-sew, easy to make flowers for broaches on handbags, clothes, headbands, sofa pillows etc.  I finally found a blog that posted 5 different tutorials that featured no-sew fabric flowers at LivingLocurto.

Thanks to all the creative ladies for sharing their tutorials and ideas. Most of the fabric flowers are made by rolling the fabric, with RA in my hands I found it difficult to roll the fabric and keep it in place while rolling it. I was delighted when I saw thehouseofsmiths.com tutorial I thought, I can do that! 

For folks like myself who have a level of difficulty doing crafts yet really enjoy doing them we always look for those crafts that we can enjoy and yet find them easy to do. I did a Easter centerpiece for my Easter table, and I was able to make a wreath, napkin rings, it felt good to see the finished result.

Obviously my next project, after a garage sale this weekend will be to attempt to make these flowers.
