For the love of flowers

Last spring our ala das criancas had a flower girl / flower fairy theme.

Throughout the costume, fake rose petals were used to create an uneven surface and, well, to create flowers.

Here´s a how to.

Start out with 4 petals.

Let them overlap slightly and then sew them together.

Add three petals on top, overlapping more.

Sew.

Add 1 or 2 more, folding them in half and rolling them slightly. Attach in the middle.

You can start out with just three, too.

Et voíla!

If interested, the petals can be purchased really cheap on eBay .

They were used for this, too.
