  Step 1

  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.

• 

  Step 2

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

• 

  Step 3

  Gather all 3 strips together matching uncut edge.

• 

  Step 4

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

• 

  Step 5

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

• 

  Step 6

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

• 

  Step 7

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

• 

  Step 8

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

• 

  Step 9

  Stitch around to secure flower to stem.

• 

  Step 10

  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!

Whoops, I meant to ask if this was the version in the tutorial or the one you mentioned at the end for the thicker flower. >.<

Hm. Just thought of this: Are the flowers in the picture the single or double-layer version?
