I've been a little obsessed with flowers this summer and I had the purple and turquoise fabric I wanted to do something with, so I made this skirt!

First, you need a skirt to glue/sew the flowers to.
I got a high-waisted skirt from Goodwill for 2$. It does not really matter what the skirt is made of as long as it looks good with the flowers you made. -
Here is how to make the flowers.
1.Cut squares of fabric.
2. Iron the corners in until you get a circle-like shape. -
Do the same for the other color of fabric for your flower layers. You do not need 2 layers, but I think it looks nicer with 2.
Don't worry about gluing the corners down, the sewing machine will stabilize them later. -
Find similarly shaped layers and layer them on top of one another.
-
Cut strips of another fabric to make the swirl on the fabric.
Sew the strips onto the 2 layers of fabric starting from the middle and moving out. -
Here is what the swirl looked like when I was doing it.
-
After you have enough flowers to cover the skirt or dress, take the fabric glue to the back of the flower and place it on the skirt. If you have 2 different colors, I would advise planning a design.
-
Make sure you have enough glue on the flowers to hold them into place. Pin them in place as you go.
Wait for the glue to dry. -
When you are taking the pins out of the flowers after the glue has dried, you might need a pair of pliers to grab the pins because the glue might have dried to them.
This is OK though, your flowers won't be going anywhere on your skirt! -
Ta Da!
You have a new, rockin' skirt.
