Flowers - folded

This folded flower is really easy to make!

1. Cut four fabric OR paper circles (you also can use fancy circles, such as scalloped, etc.).

2. Fold in quarters.

3. Adhere onto a smaller paper circle (just check that the open side is always facing the same direction) and add something (like a button, brad, dot, etc.) for the middle.

Tip for cutting fabric with a die : add  a thin paper (like print paper) between the fabric and the plate (it also works great with felt).


You can also do these flowers with paper : look at how Lynette folded them to add more dimension!
