For this super easy fabric flower you will need a strip of material 2" x 12", needle, thread, scissors, button or other embellie, button thread and adhesive.
If you want the frayed look, tear your material instead of cutting it. Make a 1" snip in one end of your fabric. Grab both ends and pull - hard.
Using a running stitch (small in and out stitches about 1/2" apart) along the long side of your fabric - close to the edge. Do not knot either end of your thread.
Gather your material strip by pushing all the fabric together tightly and tie a knot. Adjust your circle of fabric as needed.
Using that beading needle will accomodate any size cording to "dress" your button (can't have naked buttons, now can we?).
I don't sew my buttons down, I use Zots medium size glue dots to adhere them.
Here's the finished flower.
Thank you MommaSaid for the suggestion!
