Shabbie chic flower

 
 After seeing some of the great flowers people make i found this 
amazing lady on you tube this is a link to her videos 
She is a wounderful lady i meet her at the weekend.
. She made this flower and it was so easy to 
follow i have done a step by step for you but if you go to Fi's videos
she shows you.
 

 I am bad at circles so i drew around a plastic beaker
on ti card then on the cotton and cut them all out,
 

 then i folded in half then half again then again making 3 folds
 
 



 Then cut an arch from left to right
to make a petal don't worry if its not perfect as you can snip 
 in between.



 
 Then useing a lighter or gas flame lighter use lightly 
to curl as you can see its ok if the singe 
 


 
 When you have done them all glue together and add a flower 
in center and a feather or 2
 
.
 Then a piece of card for bottom. 
I then made a stick pin witch is also on fi's videos.

 
This is the fished one i am so happy with it.
And enjoyed playing.
Thanks for stopping by 
Love and hugs
