1
You can start with any size circle
that you want. I prefer a circle with
a 4cm radius. The blue and purple flower was made with a 4cm radius.
The red one with a 3cm radius. -
2
Once you have decided on a circle size . Choose some fabric and pin the
paper circle onto the fabric. -
3
Then cut out the circle. This doesn't have to be very neat but try to keep to the edge.
-
4
Then take out all of the pins and you will be left with a circle of fabric.
-
5
Then take some thread and sew around the edge of the circle. This also doesn't have to be super neat.
-
6
After you have finished sewing around the fabric. Sart to tug the string so that the fabric starts to gather and bunch.
-
7
Then take a bit of the stuffing and
place it into the centre of your pouch. -
8
Then start to pull some more until you can't see the stuffing.
-
9
After you have made the pouch. Sew it so it so that the stuffing doesn't come out.
-
10
Then pull the thread through the middle of your puffy pouch.
-
11
The split the pouch into three sections. And don't to pull tight after each one.
-
12
Then split each section into two and a flower will start to form.
-
13
You can add as many or as little sections as you want.

Then after you are happy with the flower add a button to the centre of your flower by sewing it in. Then your done!
