ALL THUMBS? EASY WAY TO ROLL FLOWERS
I love making flowers from fabric scraps. There are lots of methods available on the internet. This is just an easier way for me since I don't have great hand coordination. I use my quilt design wall to secure the flower as it's being made. Another option is to use a small piece of foam core poster board, cork board or styrofoam board.
I like the frayed look so I ripped my fabric used in photos. After folding my fabric strip lengthwise, I knot the end and pin the knot to my board. I twist the fabric strip kinda loosely every few inches.
I glue the twisted roll onto the side of the fabric knot tucking under any tail extending from the knot.
Using pins to secure each twisted fabric roll, I just built each roll upon roll.

Supplies:

Liquid fabric glue
Pins
Board

Using pins to secure each twisted fabric roll, I just built each roll upon roll. The photos show a sample made from a 33" strip of lightweight vintage fabric which yielded a 3" flower. The final size of the flower will be determined by the fabric thickness and the tightness of your twist.
