Take some fabric and fold it into a square a little larger than your flower pattern. Pin the pattern to fabric and carefully cut out. Repeat this process until you have enough layers to make a full flower – the number of layers will vary depending…

Stack flower cut outs, alternating fabric types and staggering petals. Use a needle and thread to secure them together at the center.
