Ever made these rolled flowers from fabric scraps that seem to be everywhere? Me neither, but there's always a first time!
In case you're wondering how to make these, well its quite simple. You take a strip of fabric, say about 2" wide, fold the fabric in half width-wise, tie a knot in one end (the center of the flower) and start rolling, twisting the fabric as you go, and gluing with hot glue where needed. Messy is good, raw edges are good, and with heavier fabric you can make a more folded look, which is nice too. Just try to make them look not too controlled, which mine are....gotten loosen up a bit for this one! I added some corduroy leaves cut with pinking sheers, and some pearls in the center, together with a single gold sequin. And, as it turns out, when you tear polyester satin fabric, it nicely curls at the edges, and you have some great ready made ribbon- not perfect, but just fine for a last minute creation. Who would have thought?
I should note, though these flowers are quick to make, it's not that quick if you need to make multiples. I made what I had time for, and filled in with the ready made gold flowers, and the whole simple idea still took about 3 1/2 hours. (Just tying each bow around the vase and attaching the flowers with a straight pin takes time!) At 7:30 after arriving home with the little ones, who came along for the adventure, I was happy to hear that my husband made it back into town in time to go to the party himself. Phew, now at least I don't have to try and whip up that dinner that didn't get made on account of those centerpieces made on a dime!
