Cut 15-20 strips of print fabric ½ inches wide by 1 ¾- 2 1/2 – inches long. The longer you make your strips the bigger your flower will be. The more strips you use the fuller your flower will be. You can make as many flowers as you would like for this project and you can make them various sizes. Thread a needle and put aside. Fold each strip of fabric and stack them on top of each other with raw edges even. Poke needle in through all layers of fabric near raw ends (see fig. 1). Pull thread through fabric. Rotate each strip of fabric and adjust to form a flower. Thread a button onto your needle and bring needle back through button and back through fabric layers. Tie thread in back of flower and set aside.
