I came up with this idea a few days ago, while I was trying to do something else for a pillow cover that ended up being a total fail. So I went with plan b. I didn't have a plan b so I just started messing around until something came to me, and GLORY! HALLELUJAH! something did.
Start with about 10-15 strips of fabric, folded in half. I ripped mine because I love the shabby-ness. |
Make a small-ish loop, then a bigger one around it. |
The strips I did were kinda short, so I would add them frequently, the loop by itself is an added strip. |
Sew sections of loops together to make them easier to handle. (or glue them) |
Keep adding and sewing... |
When you feel like you have enough, arrange them in a flower shape so you really do have as many as you wanted. |
Arrange it to look pretty... |
Use one strip and roll it up tight for the center. |
Hot glue the center onto your pillow cover fabric, and then the petals. Make sure to arrange them in even spacing (if you are OCD like me.) |
What wonderful texture this makes! |
