DIY: Scrap Fabric Circle Flowers


I first saw this through Pinterest on Ruffles and Stuff blog. She has an amazing tutorial with tons of pictures for this SUPER EASY flower. 


 I ended up using old tshirts I still loved and wanted to wear, but their lifespan was about over. On top of each of the fabric layers, I added some colorful tule for some dimension. Finally, I had all these jewels laying around in the craft room that made perfect centers! 

Some I attached to plain headbands. But after a while, I sewed them to the stretchy band headbands. This is one of those where I made one in most colors I wear and have them in different sizes too. No sewing involved- just some hot glue and scraps of fabric. 




One of my favorite "looks" is nautical themed. I love the navy, white and yellow look with rope, stripes, block colors or even polka dots. It just makes me feel like I'm glowing when I wear it because it reminds me of the beach. Well, this tank top I had was navy and white striped. I decided it was time to retire and now can wear it with my new nautical looks!

Two size circles folded up for layers of petals.

This purple one, I used two sizes of fabric and it turned out well. Below you can see there's a plaid flower that I fluffed up the center and didn't add a jewel or button for a center. This is what I did in two days while watching tv after work.  Like I said before, super easy gifts and everyone loves them.

I found that every time I wear a headband everyone asks me if I made it. So flattering! But I still buy some fancy ones - because sometimes, it's just easier to buy fancy headbands.
