i wore this flower in my hair today...
i originally made it to go on a pillow...but it looked too cute in my hair!
it felt almost like i was wearing a vintage hat.
i loved it.
i have never gotten so many compliments in one day...
then my mind started racing with all the colors i needed to have these in...all the places i could wear them...
i went to target and bought these two hats...and yes i did...
i sewed one of these flowers onto each of them...
i was happy about it :o)
yes i know, you need these in your life!
here's how:
after the first part of the flower is finished...put some pins in the back to hold it together.
then start with the second wider strip you have leftover and repeat the steps above.
then hand sew it together.
i started in the middle.
hide your stitches.
when i hand sew i work mostly from the back...this helps hide those stitches.
then your done!
i am obsessed with making these right now!
wait till your husbands are nice and asleep...then sneak down and start crafting.
my husband has no idea what goes on in my nightlife.
i need a name for these flowers!
any ideas???

LOVE it ♥♥
Wonderful! I can't wait to get making these, and telling my friends to look up your blog and learn how to make them too!
Thanks!
Geeze you're cute. I could never pull off wearing something like that. Love 'em.
tHAT IS so cute. I will feature it tomorrow (since it is a party day today!)
Very pretty! You're so creative!
It's a BODACIOUS BLOOM! Way to pull that look off and the hats are really cute too!

Ack, I love, love, love these! can't wait to start making some of these! I have been looking for some flower ideas and this is just perfect! Thanks! What to call them? Perfect Posies? I don't know,they are just gorgeous!
They are so cute! I want one! I will have to give it a shot. If I can't figure it out, I may be paying you to make me one ;)
So cute! I think you ought call it a giant rosette! I make those on a smaller scale and call them rosettes :) I like to put a gem or a pearl in the very middle if I'm feeling extra saucy that day!
I stubled across your blog, those flowers are gorgeous!
We are homeschoolers as well!
Those flowers, plus your whole outfit, are super cute!!
Cute! At first I wasn't so sure, but once I got a better look- I thought it was fabulous.
You could call it Flora...
Jessica at Chapman Place
You should call it The Compliments Flower
SO adorable!! I was going to try to figure out how to make these to put on a gray pillow, like the ones they have at Target. Now I know how, YESSSS.
oooo-you're so cute...I need your outfit too!
I LOVE these!! I need you to make me one!! Maybe I will try myself, who knows what wild and crazy things I might start.
so pretty, love the color you used. gonna have to try this, but I usually can't stand hand sewing. :)
ADORABLE. Must. make. some. :)
The flower is perfect! I love reading your blog by the way. You inspire me to have fun! Maybe that sounds silly, but it is true. Thanks for the tutorial!
oh my gosh you guys are so kind! thanks for all the comments.
That looks very beautiful and sophisticated. Actually, I need pretty hair accessories for a friend's party, and I think this will be perfect. =)
I like fabric flowers a lot and yours is really beautiful! I will try to make one for my winter coat! Have a look at my fabric flowers: Grey fabric flowers , Stripped fabric flower , Purple fabric flower !
Ack! Super super cute!! : )
Name: BIG FAT FLOWERS!!! : )
Beautiful Flowers!! Love them, can't wait to try making my own. Reminds me of a perfect rose.
Seriously! How cute are you!?!? I am SO making a bunch of these for my hair, sweaters, pillows...basically everything!!
All I can say is LOVE! Can't wait to get my craft on this weekend and make some of these. Uber fab!
I'm definitely going home and doing this tonight!
The fabric color and texture looks PERFECT!
Thank for sharing!
you have lots of energy my friend! i miss you! ps. you should call them, "yes, i have a giant flower on my head, so what?" ...too long?
I absolutely love this! :) I can't wait to try to make one!
I just have a couple questions... What did you use to fasten it in your hair? Did you just use bobby pins, or did you put some kind of clip or comb on the back? And What kind of fabric did you use for this?
This is gorgeous! Would look beautiful in a bright red!
This is beautiful! I can't wait to make one for my 16 year old daughter. Thanks for the tutorial! I was reading your post when I read, "wait for my husbands to be asleep" For a second I thought you were a polygamist with multiple husbands! haha
Love this! The hats are so cute for winter and fall.
I really love your outfit too!
Love it! Made me think of these as hairclips too, http://margoiscrafty.blogspot.com/2010/08/eco-friendly-felt-brooch-tutorial.html
Way Cute!!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the tutorial, I have been trying to figure out how to make these flowers for the longest.
If you wait until hubby is asleep before making them then the perfect name would be a night-flower, I think! Super cute, as is your outfit; gorgeous!
you make it look too easy- i don't think mine would look nearly that cool. but i love it.
GREAT tutorial!! Love all the pictures, and you're pretty as a picture!
Love it so much! I made one as soon as I saw them on your blog. I am putting mine on a pillow (I have been wanting to make these ever since I went to target and saw them on a dwell studio pillow).
I love it on the hats and it is way cute on your hair;)
btw, I am friends with Emily and I found your blog off of hers...
LOVE LOVE L-O-V-E this!!! 2 things... what kind of clip did you use for your hair?
And name suggestion: Fabric HairBlossom
like?
Thanks so much for the Tutorial! You're awesome!
Absolutely stunning! I NEED to make some of these big flowers! I love the color too.

I want to marry this fabric flower!
just love it! And your advice about crafting after the husband is asleep is just too funny, I guess he doesn't read your blog? I'm a night owl too, it's the only way to get any creative stuff into the day! I'm going to link to this project on my linking party, and would love to see you there in person too!
ADORABLE!!! Too sweet! I can't wait to make one - thanks for sharing! :)
love it! call them Gatsby Roses or something!
Call 'em Posh Posies!
Very chic!! I love it! I don't think I could actually make it and have it turn out like yours did, though...I have a desire to try, so we shall see... :)
Looks great!
How about Super-Fab Fabric Rosettes? I am SO adding these as embellishments to some cardigans...it just seems like the right thing to do!
Love, love your white shirt, where did you find it?
I LOVE THIS! So super chic cool! I may add one to a canvas tote.... Oh, the possibilities!
so cute!!
how about "not your gramma's vintage flowers"
Jill,
I got that shirt at Anthropologie. I just looked it up to see if it was still on sale and it is sold out! Sorry.

Oh, I adore these! Thanks so much for posting the how to!!!

Love your whole outfit here! Great blog btw!

Super cute! I adore large flowers and have been known to sport a couple in my day. I would call them "why knot." i think that speaks for itself.

I LOVE THIS WITH ALL MY HEART!

its big and very flapperesque, the flapper? but being that it starts with a knot you almost need to use that 'knot your grandmas rosette' how about 'perfect' xo
Thanks, so cute with your permission I published

That is super cute! I might have to try that.
This is sooo cute! I just found you from another blog. I have to ask, these look rather heavy, what did you attach it to for your hair and how did you attach it? Thanks so much for the tutorial. Have a great day!
You are always so good. I don't remember how I found your blog, but it was the beginning of my craft blog obsession! I love this huge flower! You look great and I am in love with that color right now, too. :) Thanks for sharing!

What a chic sassy flower! I love it! I'm going to make it tomorrow, I'm so excited. I want to make an orange one to go on a pillow, and some for my hair too. Thanks for the great ideas :)
i like these flowers. you should call them 'posh petals'. my daughter follows your blog . she made a bunch of these into corsages and boutteneirs for her little sister's wedding last weekend. those were great! i can so keep this one around w/o worry, as well as incorporate it into my wardrobe. i think i'll try them. i can so do this!:)
Just wanted to let you know I'm linking to your tutorial from my blog - but giving you all the credit, I promise! Great Tute!
That is so cute! I'm going to have to try this :) Thanks for the tutorial!
I've been itching to figure these out-I have the same fabulous pillow. Inspired by you...I made a new tote tutorial. Thanks for your inspiration!!!
I am in love with these flowers! I really want to make one, but I was wondering how you keep it in your hair? Did you sew a hair clip or comb to the underside?
I love this! I think you should call it something lovely and old-agey like Cosette or Antoinette or something...:D
you my dear are fabulous! i am new to your blog and so in love:)

So cute! do you have any idea how big these measure across when you are done? thanks.
I love it! I can't wait to get home and make some. My husband will just be thrilled...
I made an "edited" version of your flower and I love it! I work in a hospital and can't have HUGE things in my hair, but I love the pattern and I'm not always at work. Thus, I made it in 2 parts. A little flower for when I'm at work that attaches (via hook and eye) to the big flower base for when I'm anywhere but work. Perfection! Thanks for the inspiration!!!
i really like your tutorial so nice and fabulous you have done a very nice work and thanks for posting this blog.
Gifts to Pakistan
Cute!
I love the last line in this post, too funny :).
hi! love this idea. I have been trying to find a cool way to make a smaller flower like this for my daughter's nursery! Question for you: do you have any idea what size pieces of fabric I should use for a smaller rose? 3 inches or so in diameter?
I have been trying to find cool, small sized hooks for her wall and have decided to make fabric flowers and glue them to small picture hangers that are hidden behind the fabric flower so I can hang a few of her clothing items from hangers, etc... I think this will do the trick if I know what size fabric to start with...thanks so much!
L-O-V-E!!
These are fantastic! Can't wait to make some and put them on just about everything! I featured this project on my Repin Wednesdays post. http://therusticalley.blogspot.com/2011/10/repin-wednesdaysdiy-projects.html
I used to Buy Viagra and I had a friend like you!! I think that you are really beautiful , you like like a sweet girl !
This is so cute, but more importantly YOU ARE SO ADORABLE!!! I love this picture of you. I want to put you in my pocket :)
Hello! I just stumbled on your tutorial and absolutely love these flowers! Wondering how you attached it to your head/hair to wear it? Beautiful! Thanks!
I just LOVE these flowers, I MUST make them this week....I just have to ask HOW did you get it to stay in your hair...did you hot glue a bobby pin on it {or that seems to small} or some type of clip.... dumb question probably....let me know if you could....my email is msmandyboyer@gmail.com or comment on my blog. SO adorable!!!!
