braided fabric flowers

Here's a tutorial for a fun new take on the twisted fabric flowers!



I traced around the base of a bowl to make the size of circle I wanted on my piece of felt. Then I cut it out.

I took 3 long strips of fabric and tied a knot at one end. (You could sew them together if you prefer.)

I snipped off the excess above the knot. Braided the pieces a bit...

Then glued the knot into the center of my piece of felt. (I upbraided it to redo the braid a bit nicer before I took this photo. Sorry for any confusion.)

Then you braid, twist around, and glue when needed..........

And keep going until your piece of felt is covered.......

Then cut off any excess fabric and glue & tuck the end underneath the piece of felt. And it will look like this:

NOTE: If you want a more tidy look, cut your fabric instead of tearing it like I did.

I decided to glue a button with a piece of ribbon in the middle of mine so my finished product looks like this:
