Flowers bows

I have not been able to blog in a long time because of homework, tests, so much other things. It is the end of the semester and it has been so frustrating studyng for tests and all that stuff.


 I have been making bows for the past week and it has been so much fun. On the side where it says family and friends it says Erin Basset and that is where I learned the make all the bows. There is also a lot of other stuff on her website too.
This is what you need to make both of the flowers. For the first flower you need fabric glue, fabric cutter, cotton fabric, any kind of accessories for your bow.  (like a button)           How to make it. You need to cut the fabric 2 inches wide and 1 yard long. After you have done that you need to tie a knot at the end and that will be your center. After you twist and wrap the fabric around the knot that you made. And every once and a while you need to add your fabric glue. When you are at the point where you like it, then you can put like a button or whatever you want in the middle. And also you can glue a clip on the back:)
This flower is super easy. What you need for this is fabric glue, candle, fabric cutter,and silk fabric.       How to make it. first you need to cut circles. The first one is pretty big. I would say about four inches long.And you can do as many circles as you want.( make sure they are all different sizes) After that you light your candle and burn the edges, kind of. So you are just going to put the circle close to the flame and when it starts to curl in just go around the whole circle. You just do that to every circle. After you have all that done you can just use fabric glue and glue them together. And to touch it up you can put a button in the middle. That is it!!
