Fabric Flowers

By rowarrior

As far as lumpy bumpy embellishments go, fabric flowers are among the flattest. Whoever it was that thought that instead of using a sticker or die cut of a flower and using a fake fabric one instead to illustrate their layout, must now be raking it in! Scrapbooking companies quickly jumped on the bandwagon and started making their own, which admittedly will match their other products, but will also cost you a small fortune when compared to buying a stem of artificial flowers from your local Walmart, and its counterparts.

Once retrieved from their packaging or detached from their stems, the next challenge is to attach them to your page. Since they won't have a centre, the easiest thing to us is a brad or a snap, but for something a little more unusual you could try a rivet or a shaped brad or eyelet. By layering your flowers up you can give them the look of a real flower, however just one or two layers provides a pretty accent as well.
