~fleur~

is french for flower! (i googled it) :)

i have recently found a new blog that i really enjoy. its called blue cricket design. 

as i was reading it yesterday, i found a tutorial for some super cute/super easy fabric flowers. 

well i decided to try it out by memory. and although it isnt exactly like hers, i still think it turned out pretty cute for the first try. 

here is where she did her flower tutorial. 

and this is how i did mine!

first, like blue cricket design, i free-hand drew a petal. and traced it 4 times. i should have been 5 but like i said i was doing it by memory.

sewed the bottoms of the petals so that they puckered.

and then sewed each petal together, overlapping one another.

then hot glued a button to the center. and attached it to a headband.

and wala! there you have it. not the best, but i think it is pretty cute for a first try!
