Draw a flower template of the desired size. If it’s difficult for you to draw a whole flower by hand, draw a petal pattern, and then circle it several times to make a flower.
Step 2
Fold the fabric in layers in the shape of a square slightly larger than the flower. Chip a pin with the template and cut it out, repeat until you get the desired number of layers (in this case 26).
Step 3
If you wish, you can cut several colors from the grid and put together a stack of layers by mixing the main fabric and the grid. Make sure the center of your layers matches. Sew the flower in the core with a needle and thread, pulling the thread tight to form the flower.
Step 4
The middle of the flower can be decorated with beads or beads.
