Here’s a easy diy burlap and fabric flower that can be used in your crafty creations. 
Take your burlap square and fold it up like your making a fan.
Then hot glue between the folds, forming what looks like a bow tie. 
Take your fabric strip and twist, and roll, twist, and roll. Add a dab of glue.
You will continue twisting and rolling, and adding a dab of hot glue. 
Continue until you have about 3/4″ of a tail left. 
Then glue the tail down to the back of your flower.
Now add a dab of glue to the center of your burlap bow tie. 
Add your fabric flower.
Now start pulling some of the burlap strings on end end to make the ends shabby.
Join the edges together with a dab of hot glue. 
Do the same to the other side. 
That’s it for this easy shabby burlap and fabric flower. Now it’s ready to be used in any of your crafty creations.
I like making my own fabric flowers because you can make them to go with whatever project your working on, there unique, easy and it beats paying the high prices for ready made ones at the craft stores. ;-D
Do you make your own fabric flowers to use in your projects?

August 30, 2016 at 4:15 pmLinda I think these are very pretty. I had such a hard time making these a few months ago. I ended up making them really big because small ones turned my fingers into jelly. You are truly talented my friend.
