These flowers can be used as broaches, sewn onto handbags or fastened to a canvas to make a beautiful artwork. You will need an assortment of old fabrics, felt, buttons or beads and anything else that inspires you. If you’re making broaches, you can buy the little pins cheaply in any good craft shop or bead shop. If you know someone who sews, ask for their left-over fabrics, small prints work best. The fabric layers need to be backed with at least one piece of felt and the bottom layer needs to be at least double felt thickness.

old buttons
I find it easiest to cut the felt out first and then sew a square of fabric onto the felt piece before cutting the fabric to the right shape. I have provided a few simple patterns (see pdf attachment) but I recommend just using your imagination.
