I found a Fabric Flower Tutorial that I loved and decided to make some! I liked the look of the double flowers in this flower tutorial in a smaller fashion but prefer the method of petal mading in this flower tutorial. The bottom layer has 6 petals, and the top layer has 3 petals with a button or bead in the middle! Then I either sewed a loop of fabric or elastic onto the back, but pretty much anything can be attached to the back to use them in tons of ways!To make the different sizes I just used different round objects to create the circles the same way you'd make different size yo-yo's.
The smaller flowers I used a spool of thread for the circle.
This bigger flower I used a 1/3 Cup measuring cup for the circle it has a fabric loop on the back and I slipped it onto my pink pearls for a pendent.
Here's another on my dog Madie's collar it also has elastic on the back. She didn't like the bigger flowers so I made a small one using a spool of thread for the circles so that she barely notices it on her collar.
I also made one for Bekah in a blue floral fabric with a big blue bead in the center and made it a headband by attaching a large elastic loop custom fit for her head.

What a wonderful idea. I can see hair ties made out of them with the elastic on the back of them!!!!
Thanks Annie, I'll try to remember to take a photo when I wear it!
TypsTatting, I did actually make a headband for a girl with a loop of elastic that fit her head! I'll stick a photo up, I didn't get the best photo of her in it but I got an okay one.
Super Cute. Thank you for sharing the links. They would make a cute accessory for a handmade purse or bag.
