22 Fabric Flowers to Make
Learn how to make fabric flowers with this stunning collection!

The best thing about artificial flowers is that they are evergreen. Fake flowers are perfect if you want to create a permanent floral centerpiece for your living room or a springy flower accessory to wear with confidence. Flowers are a timeless fashion trend that you can use to embellish just about anything, from wearing them as barrettes and headbands to putting them on necklaces and rings to creating flower brooches.
Fabric flowers are sturdier and better quality than paper, which means they really do last forever. Using these flower templates, you can make flower bouquets that will never wilt or die, create trendy floral accessories, or make flower embellishments by the dozen to use in scrapbooking, card making, and general home decorating.

These are fun to make and put in different types of vases around the house. I used to make a lot of paper flowers as a child. This could be a fun activity.

Oh my you are wonderful for offering all these wonderful ideas and for free to boot. I have family and friends in nursing homes and the ones in non private rooms are not allowed to have fresh cut or real flowers of any kind due to allergies of roommates. I make fake flowers of all kinds to bring to them. This is going to be so appreciated, thank you so very much.

I love fabric flowers. You can use whatever fabric you like or that matches your dcor, they will never die, and when the present season passes, you can put them away you dont have to throw them away. Fabric flowers are always in season, and you can make whatever you want in your house. I just love them.
