Cameo Flower Tutorial

Supplies Needed:

Glue gun

Cameo

1 1/2 " wired ribbon

Scissors

Green Felt

NOTE:  I know you're thinking "hot glue"?!!?  Yes,  I let it cool a bit before pressing with my fingers.  A little like eating hot food, I blow on it to cool it down.  Just use the tiniest bit and you'll be fine but always wait until it gets a bit gooey and of course cools down.

Start gathering one side of the ribbon by pulling the wire out and pushing the ribbon back.

I like to gather the ribbon as tight as possible (gently) to create many ruffles.

Remember:  I use hot glue!  I have seen tutorial's using a running stitch to fasten the flower.  For me, hot glue is much faster and just as effective.

My first layer using hot glue.  Form a circle and dab a little hot glue to hold it together.  Layer the frayed end underneath and glue.

Circle around to the next layer and dab glue here and there.

I used a cameo from "The Dollar Tree"  It's a hair accessory.

I removed the back with a steak knife..

The last step is to add a circular piece of felt hot glued to the back of your flower for a finished look.  You can use any circular template.  I used a lid from a pill bottle.

Thank you for looking!  I hope you enjoyed this tutorial!
