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!
