Fabric Flowers

Fabric Flowers supplies:
*one strip of fabric measuring at 1 inch by 10 inches
*hot glue

here we go:first you will need to get your fabric cut to 1 inch by 10 inches. (it doesn't have to be perfect we're going for wonky)
dab a little bit of hot glue at the end of your strip and fold in half.
secure.dab another bit of hot glue and fold in halfdab a little bit of hot glue to the end again...this time you are going to fold over like the picture below. (fold down instead of in half again)
now you are going to twist your fabric a littleand dab a little bit of hot glue to the "base"i like to make sure my fabric is twirled a little on the tighter side(but not too tight!). this will make your flower smaller and tighter.
continue to twist and twirl your fabric all the while adding a dab of hot glue to secure your new twist to the last twist.
when you get your flower as big as you want it (making sure you leave a little bit of a tail)add some hot glue to the bottom of your flower and fold and secure your tail at the bottom of your flower flat.
