Big Shot Circle Die Fabric Carnation Flower

I discovered that you can use your big Shot Circle die to make a carnation look alike flower while making a bouquet for a bride recently...

It is a little fiddly however the results are quite nice....

I can not wait to try these out with some Stampin' UP! fabric!!!!









You need to cut the largest size circle and some roughly 15cm lengths of wire

 Fold circle in half 3 times
1

 2

 3

 Make a loop in the wire approximately 2 to 3cms from the end.







Place loop over the end of the cone shaped material

 Wrap wire around making sure that you catch the bottom of the cone in the wire and wrap TIGHT & CLOSE!!! this secures the fabric so that it does not come out.

Wrap around at least 5 to 6 times.....

 Repeat this step three times

Secure all three together by wrapping one of the wires round all three.

Take each bud and stretch material to puff apart fabric

And Whalah... you have a lovely look alike fabric Carnation.....

And here is the finished product.... Beautiful Modern yet traditional bouquets of silk flowers....
