DIY Fabric flower brooch

Creative mama Rachel Saldaña of Buttons Magee shares a tutorial for making an oh-so-pretty Fabric Flower Brooch.

Rachel: Every holiday I am challenged with the desire to give gifts while on an extremely tight budget. One way I have offset the costs is by making a portion of our gifts.

This quick flower brooch is a great gift when you are in need of something cute and fast. I used silk dupioni as my fabric, but you can really use almost any type of fabric as long as it isn't too thick. Also, it could be sewn onto a barrette if you would like to gift it to a child. The best part is that it requires minimal sewing, so even a novice can make this simple flower.
