Description 

You'll need a strip of fabric, needle and thread, scissors, button and a pin back (can also use a large safety pin). Pick out some fabric you like which frays really easy. Depending upon how big and thick you want your flower, cut a strip of the fabric. Mine is 1 inch wide and 44 inches long. If you want your flower smaller, don't cut it as long or as wide.


Instructions 
  1. 1
    Step 1

    Fold over one end and secure it with a stitch.


  2. 2
    Step 2

    Flip it over and start a running stitch along the bottom of the strip of fabric.


  3. 3
    Step 3

    When you've reached the end of your strip, pull the thread so the fabric bunches up.


  4. 4
    Step 4

    Shape the fabric into a flower.


  5. 5
    Step 5

    Secure all the layers by stitching through each and securing on the back.


  6. 6
    Step 6

    Next, stitch the button in the center.


  7. 7
    Step 7

    After the button is secure, stitch on your pin back or safety pin.


  8. 8
    Step 8

    WAA LAH! Super easy peasy frayed flower pin.
    Experiment with the look by adding dangling pieces of lace, fabric, beads, chain or ribbon.
    Now, go make one!
