Fabric crafts ideas – DIY is FUN

There are plenty of fabric crafts ideas, but perhaps the simplest and most interesting are the flowers and butterflies.

We just need to have certain tools that can be found in any stationery store.

Here you will find just a small part of the original fabric crafts ideas that you can make with their hands. A good idea is to introduce children to interesting needlework

DIY fabric roses

You will need:

a strip of fabric 50 cm (1 ft 7 in) long. For a bouquet prepare a few strips of different colors;
Iron;
thread;
needle;
brush;
hot glue (superglue);
pin;

1. If you have prepared some strips for a bouquet of flowers from fabric, each strip should be folded in half and ironed in the crease.

2. Unfold the strip and make the firmware stitches (see image). Stitch length of about 1.3 cm (0.5 in) At the end leave a piece of thread length of about 5 cm (2 in).

3. Again, fold in half and with scissors cut a wavy line at the ends.

4. Sew along the wavy part.

5. Pull the left piece of thread to pull the workpiece. You should get such a detail, from which you will gather the flower.

6. Prepare a thin brush and wrap several times around your workpiece. Touch up to form a flower.

7. Fasten the right place with glue and hold the flower until the glue dries.

8. It remains to make some similar flowers to the bouquet that the bottom can be wrapped with a cloth and secure it with a pin.

* Brushes can be cut to desired length.
