For Each Flower:

Cut 3 strips approximately 2” wide by 18” long or however big you’d like your flowers. See other technique below for thicker flowers.

Cut each strip along edge approximately 1/4"-1/2” leaving 1/2” at the other edge.

Gather all 3 strips together matching uncut edge.

With needle and thread, secure the three strips with a stitch.

Start sewing layers together securing with a stitch while rolling into a flower.

Continue sewing layers together securing with a stitch until you’ve reached the end of the strip.

When complete, inside flower will have a ‘well’ for branch or wire to insert.

Insert 1-2 drops of hot glue in flower well. Stick in branch or bark covered wire for stem.

Stitch around to secure flower to stem.

Cut kraft paper using a decorative edge scissor or scallop scissor. Wrap paper around flower bouquet. Tie with twine, lace or ribbon to match your wedding colors.

Now you have a beautiful DIY wedding bouquet for the bride or bridesmaids! You can also use these flowers as corsages by simply attaching a pin to the back instead of a stem. You may also cut leaves and attach to the flowers as I’ve done in the finished bouquet.

Another technique is to cut the material 4 inches wide and fold in half, sewing the cut edge together with your sewing machine. Then use your scissors to cut down the folded half and then cut the ¼” strips. Follow the instructions by rolling the flower as described above. This produces a thicker flower.

Have fun crafting and enjoy!
