I put together a little step by step for ya... You can put these on a headband, pillow, anything you want. I chose to put them on a picture frame I had.
choose your coordinating fabric, and you won't need very much for these.
Also a glue gun...
cut or tear a 1 in strip of the fabric
fold the fabric in half by length and tie a small loose knot in the end
twist fabric around knot keeping it folded and put a dot of glue every once in awhile to keep it sturdy.
keep twisting and gluing until there is about 1 in left of the fabric
glue the fabric down on the back
you want them to be tight in some spots and loose in others, that's what gives it character (I like character).
next I took the green and cream polka dot fabric and laid it pattern down, I cut it about 4 inch in diameter
then I took white thread and a needle and started a small stitch, going around the whole circle
last pull both sides tight and tie a small knot. then just work it til it is even and looks the way you want it to. Like below...
I then glued my flowers to a picture frame of my husband and I on our honeymoon...
I have to go now though because this baby wants his mommy:)
I hope this gave you some inspiration to try this easy flower on your own!
Craft Tuesday, (or would it be crafty Monday since I made these yesterday?)
oh well Have fun!

I tried to post a comment before so forgive me if this is a duplicate...The knot is the trick!!! I always just roll up a wad of fabric which turns out to be one hot mess of a flower! It turns out cute in the end but dang its hard getting it that way! I like to make some parts tight and others loose too! Thanks for the tip!
