Thanks to all of you who have joined us all week for Flower Week! We had several other great flower ideas on our list, so we'll have to have a "part two" sometime soon. To end our week, here is one more cool flower we made and a bunch of other fabulous flower tutorials that we found out in blogland. Enjoy!
This fabric flower was made in a similar fashion as our ribbon flowers. We started with a 20-inch by 4-inch piece of fabric and folded it in half lengthwise. Then we sewed down the side to make it like a long piece of ribbon. We proceeded with the ribbon flower tutorial, pulling the strings to bunch it up a bit. After that, we rolled it, starting with one end as the flower center and wrapping the other end around until it was full enough. You can cut off the end if you have too much left and want a less-full flower. Then we stitched a few stitches through the layers on the bottom until it was secure. That's it! Sorry for the lack of photos--this was made and sent off to my sister a while ago. These are great as pins--just sew or glue a brooch pin to the back. This one was to pin on a nursing cover, but they'd also be cute on a bag.
Some other fun flower projects to try:
Lifelike ribbon peonies from Make It Do.
Gorgeous "hammered" flowers from BuildMakeCraftBake.
Tea cup flowers from the object project.
Ribbon rose bouquets from The Storque (courtesy of BurdaStyle).
Ribbon and button flowers from Hope Studios.
Easy fabric flowers from Wise Craft (we tried it and loved it--see it here!)
Fabric roses from Calamity Kim.
Painted newspaper flowers from Imagination Station.
More newspaper flowers from Ruki Duki.

Lovely collection!
Anyone else having issues finding the Ribbon Rose Bouquet on BurdaStyle? The instructions seem to have gone missing...shame, because I LOVE that idea, and have a few empty vases I can picture with lovely ribbon bouquets filling them...
Thanks for the wonderful ideas!
I have really enjoyed your series on ribbon, paper and fabric flowers. Inspirational and fun to see.
Smiles,

I have loved all these flower ideas this week and today was no exception to that. So many great ideas to choose from. I can't wait to make some flower pins to trim dresses for my granddaughters! My daughters just bought a pretty flower pin for me. It's made from silk petals, embroidery floss and a button. If you'd like to ~ you can take a peek at it here:

Matched with the floral aspect, designer floral curtain designs are again on the up and up. Floral curtains of old being classed as a traditional look have been taken over by floral curtains carrying large floral images of contemporary single floral designs.
All flower images are so.....beautiful and thanks for sharing.
