Fabric Flower Garlands

My beautiful little sister Leandra is getting married here in June so there's been a lot of gardening, crafting, building, and cement pouring happening these last few weeks. We had a little party for her over the weekend; all the girls got together to help her get a start on some of the decorations. It was really just an excuse to try out potential "signature cocktails" but we also got a little (easy!) crafting done. I wanted to feature one of the projects here: these little fabric flower garlands. They're super simple to make, require almost no sewing and (just like my sweet sister) are so pretty and joyful. So grab a bit of fabric, some ribbon, and a needle and thread and let's get started.



First: cut a strip of fabric as wide as you want your flowers to be. Fold it up, lay something round on top (a jar lid or drinking glass works great) and trace a circle.

Cut 8 to 12 circles out, don't worry about being precise here.

Grab one circle and fold it into quarters so that it makes a little point.

Run your threaded needle through the point of the folded circle. Don't worry if you don't have matching thread, it won't really show.

sewing circles

Keep adding folded circles, just like stringing beads on a necklace, until you've got 10 or 12 circles together.

stringing circles

Tie off your string, fluff up the circles, and like magic you've got a flower! Now make a couple more flowers in lots of beautiful colors.

Attach the flowers to ribbon with a little "x" of two stitches.

Now hang it up and get ready to party!

Stay tuned for a recipe for the chosen cocktail...

  7. Great post! I?m just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well - resources like this article are incredibly helpful. As our company is based in the US, it?s all a bit new to us. The example above is something that I worry about as well, how to show your own genuine enthusiasm and share the fact that your product is useful in that case. Bet at Home Sport Bet Tips
