Ribbon Daisy flower Tutorial

Hi everyone how are you all doing ? Well we have been having lots of fun over in the Stamping Dragon Facebook group with weekly fun challenges, our monthly colouring challenge and we now have the brand new Loyalty Points scheme! pop along to the group for more information on that and the fun challenges and join in the fun! Not forgetting the current challenge over on the Stamping with the Dragon challenge blog where we have a fab prize on offer again this fortnight!

Today I would like to share with you a quick simple little tutorial showing how I create ribbon daisy flowers and I hope that you like it!

Pic 1

A selection of materials used to create the Daisy flowers ( I have also used a little bit of green felt . Not pictured)

Pic 2

Step 1. Cut a length of ribbon I used 6mm satin ribbon of 70cms in length to create a 5cm daisy but you can use any size you would like to dependant on the size daisy that you would like to create.

Step 2.  fold over the ribbon and pop a running stitch in the centre continue to do this until you reach the end of your length of ribbon and stitch the end to the centre to secure.

Pic 3 

Step 3. Again using running stitch sew a small felt circle into the centre of the daisy ( optional)

Step 4. Sew a button or bead onto the felt in the centre of the flower

Pic 4.

And here you have it completed ribbon daisies!

This also works well with small lengths of ribbon sewn individually instead of in one length.

And that's it the daisies are the perfect addition for all your crafty loveliness!

Shabby Flower Tutorial

Hi everyone how are you all?
Did you get chance to have a look at our current challenge over at the
Stamping With The Dragon  challenge blog ?
We have a fab prize on offer again this fortnight and there is still a couple of days left to get your entries in. We have had some amazing entries so far so a huge thank you to all.

Today we are sharing with you a tutorial showing how to create Shabby Flowers and here it is:

Pic 1

A selection of materials to use.

Roughly cut some circles from the fabric organza and net shown in picture

Pic 2

Roll or fold a circle together and hold with a pair of tweezers. Next gently pass over the end furthest away from the tweezers with your heatgun until it starts to melt, once this happens remove the tweezers and put to one side. Repeat this step until you have the number of layers that you require. ( I used 5 )

  
Pic 3

Take your layers of fabric ( I have used organza) and stitch them together. Add a button or bead in the centre if you wish.

Pic 4

 Completed flowers

Both net and organza have been used in the blue flower.

And that's it, Shabby Flowers.

Would love for you to have a go at this. Please do show us what you create. Pop along to the Stamping Dragon Facebook group where there are lots of fun and exciting things going on including the brand new Loyalty Points scheme!

Happy Crafting.
