PPPR Fabric Flowers

Happy Tuesday Crafty Friends!

 

Did you have a great Holiday weekend?  We spent a lot of time indoors due to my son breaking his hand during his football game Friday night.  Yep, we spent Friday night in the ER, and then all weekend keeping busy inside.  At least I was able to get some chores and crafty projects worked on.

 

One of those projects is this cute layered fabric flower that I've seen on Pintrest and Instagram.  My first thought was, I'm sure I can do that with my Cameo :)

 

Today is my day to share over at the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons blog and I am sharing with you how to make this flower using one of the PPPR cut files.

 

Supplies:

PPPR "Flower Assortment Cutting File", I used the petal layers from "Flower 6"

thick cardstock

fabric scraps

fusible interfacing

fabric marker (disappears with water)

fabric scissors

pinking shears

button

twine/ribbon

 

I used my Cameo to cut the petal layers at about 4" and 3" across.  I also cut a small circle at about 1 1/4" diameter.  I cut them from heavy cardstock so they would hold up to me using them multiple times.

 

 

Make your layers of fabric and interfacing and then trace the petals using a fabric marker.

 

 

Sew along the marker lines.

 

 

Cut out each piece just outside the stitching.

Use a damp cloth to wet the marker lines and they will disappear :)

 

You can use just about any flower shape and size, and even add more layers.

 

Thanks for stopping by and have fun making flowers!
