A flower made from fabric and chenille pipe cleaners.Brighten someone's day with a bouquet of these everlasting blooms.

Approximate Time: Less than 1 hour

Supplies:

Instructions:

Stack four 3-inch fabric squares so that all the edges match up. Starting from one end, fan fold the stack to create 1/2 inch wide pleats. Tightly wrap a rubber band around the center. Sandwich the pleated stack between the bend of a folded chenille stem. Twist the ends together just below flower to form a stem. Separate the fabric layers to form a ruffled flower. Using scissors, trim any unwanted strings from the cut edges. Create several of these to form a bouquet.

I cut several cans using kitchen scissors, then used flowers die-cut by Sizzix to cut forms. I then mounted several layers to make this colorful brooch.

You can make a beautiful flower from a simple plastic bottle. I used an iron to make this flower, not a candle flame. The hottest iron is not hot enough to melt plastic, so you won't ruin your iron or get charred edges on the petals, but it will be enough to make the flower petals curved.

I also like this method because, unlike a candle flame, you cannot stain the petals with soot.

This is a page about making a recycled jean flower. Save scraps of denim from mending or hemming jeans to make these pretty flowers.
