{DIY} How to make a fabric flower corsage

Today we'll be showing you how to make a pretty, super easy flower corsage, which is a great way to accessorise lamp shades, cushions, curtain tie backs or anywhere you like!

Use whatever fabrics you like to match your theme - i'm using pretty floral Cath Kidston fabric.

You will need...
Some pretty fabric
An iron
Fabric scissors
Needle & thread
A glass or jar for drawing around
A pencil
A pretty button

How to make...

1. Using your glass or jar, draw and cut out 5 petal shapes. Iron out any creases to ensure that they're nice and flat!

2. Press your petal shapes - first in half, and then in half again...


3. Start a running stitch along the curved edge of your petal...



4. Sew all of the petals together in a long chain..


5. Pull the stitching together for a ruched effect...


















6. Sew the two end petals together, attach a pretty button to the centre and....


















...you're done!

If you like you could also attach a back along with safety pin or sew it directly to your favourite lampshades or cushions!
