Making a fabric flower
First, select a fabric of pink, red or any other color, cut it into strips, from which we will twist the rose. To make a rose with a diameter of about five centimeters, you need strips of fabric about 7 cm wide and 50 cm long. You can also use ready-made tapes, which are sold in fabric stores. Then we take a strip and fold along the length, ironing the bend.
Now we turn the strip of fabric inside out and bend both edges to the center. In the center of the length, we bend the strip again to get a strip that looks like a slanting inlay. From one end, it is necessary to cut the inner edges and secure the needle from the wrong side in the middle bend. Then on the front side of the bend we sew a bead, which will become the center of the flower. We wrap the bottom edge of the beads or buttons with a cloth and fasten with a thread. Now bend the strip of fabric at an angle of 90 degrees to the outside and again fasten with a thread. And now, in the process of twisting, we bend the fabric at an angle to the center, fixing the flower with a thread. Rose is ready. It remains only to attach it to the hairpin.
