Linen Pom Pom Flowers

Linen_Pom_Pom_Flowers
I love wearing flowers; they are cheerful and fun and a little bit out of the ordinary. And since my children seem to break all of my jewelry, flowers tend to be the only accessory I can keep in one piece. These pom pom flowers are summery and light and add just the right amount of happy to any outfit.

Things you need:
1/4 yard of Linen
Spray Starch
Iron
Fabric Scissor
Pencil
Thread
Needle
Brooch Clip
Hot Glue Gun and Sticks

Things to do:
1. Spray the fabric with a medium coat of spray starch; allow the starch to set for a minute before ironing the fabric. This will add stiffness to the finished flower.
2. Cut 11 – 3″ circles from the linen. Set one aside.
3. Using the fabric scissors, cut in 1″ toward the center at the top, bottom and two sides of a circle, this divides the circle evenly. Cut each quarter of the circle into 6 thin strips, being careful not to slice across to another cut. Repeat with remaining 9 circles.

4. Thread your needle and, picking up one flower and folding it into quarters, take a few stitches to secure it into shape. Add another flower, wrapping it around the first, and stitch that one in place as well. Continue to add layers, which will gradually be flatter as you go, stitching each onto the last, until you have used all ten flowers.

5. With the remaining circle, cut small, 1/4″ slits around the edge to mimic the pattern of the other flowers. Apply hot glue just inside of the slits all the way around the circle and in the center and press to the back of the flower.
6. Sew or glue a brooch pin just higher than the center of the back of the pom pom.
