    Step 2
    Cut a strip (we used the length of the tea towel) and fold it over. Glue or sew it together as shown leaving one edge ‘puffy’.

    Step 4
    Using glue or a sewing machine attached the strip to your circle base, starting on the outside edge and working in towards the middle.

    Step 5
    Finish with a button! We put a brooch fastening on the back of one, making a rather fetching piece of jewellery, and attached a chop stick to another flower to make a table decoration.
