Craft of the Month - December 2011

Okay so I'm sure a lot of you have noticed the cool flowers some people have, well here's directions for it...

I got the directions from: http://www.livinglocurto.com/2011/04/how-to-fabric-flowers/ 
it also has pictures and 6 more flowers, (which I will post soon.)

-Note-This one shows you how the make a necklace but you don't have to put it on a chain and can just make the flower. ; )

The name of this flower is: "Little Miss Mamma" or "Pom Pom": (I did not come up with the name.)

Pom Pom Supplies:

Felt {approx 1 sq foot} Or you could use fabric. ; )

Cotton fabric in the color of your choice

Fabric scissors

Hot Glue gun

First, cut out 5 small 1-1.5 inch felt (Fabric) circles.

Now cut out bunches and bunches of fabric circles {same size as the felt circles}. I use the felt circles as a template for the fabric circles. And to save time, I stacked my fabric and cut out about 8 circles at a time. Don’t worry if the circles aren’t perfect–it won’t make a bit of difference.

Now, we are ready to make the pom poms.Take one of the fabric circles and scrunch it from the center.

Apply a drop of glue to the bottom of the scrunched fabric circle and place in the middle of the felt. Continue this process until you have covered the entire felt circle with scrunched fabric circles. Then repeat that process on the remaining felt circles until you have 5 mini pom poms.

I hope you like it!!!

It's easy and fun! :)
