MATERIALS:
fabric (1/4 yard should be enough for one flower)
thread, needle, button, ribbon (optional)
STEP 1
Cut 5 circles that are 8" in diameter
STEP 2
Fold each circle in quarters to create "pie piece" shapes.
STEP 3
With needle and thread that's doubled, sew a running stitch along the open edge of one quarter, taking 5 to 6 wide stitches through all 4 fabric layers. Leave a 'tail' of thread at the beginning.
STEP 4
Continue stitching from one fabric quarter to another, connecting all 5 pieces.
STEP 5
Gently pull both ends of thread together, like a drawstring. Tie the threads so the gathering is secure. You now have the petals of the flower formed.
STEP 6
Create a flower center by using a button or using fabric or yarn. Sew on securely.
STEP 7 (optional)
Attach an 8" piece of ribbon or thick yarn to the back which can be used to attach the flower to the banner.
