Make Your Own Fabric Flower Bouquet (Tutorial by Josephine Sicad)

Since this weeks theme is flowers, I thought this looks like a fun and EASY DIY project :)

Materials:
Fabric flowers & assorted flower hair-clips (I would have loved fresh flowers but I wanted to have something I could keep forever)
Cotton twine
A few scraps of wool
Scissors
An egg beater/whisk

Step 1:
Hold on to the whisk as shown on the image and with a little force, try to deform it into a oval/circular shape. You can use tiny wires or something to tie on the criss-cross parts to keep them stay in shape if you need to.

Step 2:
Stuff the scraps of wool inside in whisk. This will help form the shape of the bouquet.

Step 3:
Can you believe you’re almost done? I told you it was easy!
Detach the flowers from the necklaces and attach them to pins/hair clips then start clipping them and the assorted hair clips onto the whistk until you’ve covered all of the wool area to form the bouquet – go mad and be creative! I enjoyed this part so much,
You can pin/use wire to attach the flowers without clips on onto the curves of the whisk (not really to the wool directly as the wool only helps forming the whole shape.)

Step 4:
Cut off a fair length of the cotton twine and wrap it around the egg beater stem to cover the metal.
And then…voila! You’re done!
Hope you’ll enjoy making your own pretty bouquet soon!
