Send

If you are tired of boredom, get down to business! A great option for a good time is a handmade. Own products will not only please you, but they will certainly surprise your family. This craft is an interesting present for a girlfriend on March 8 or just like that. Easy, not expensive, and most importantly - from the heart! - These are the main components of a perfect gift!
So, in order to make a cute decorative pillow in the shape of a rose, we need the following:
- Not large flaps of fabric (you can use absolutely any fabric), harmoniously combined with each other in color.
- Paper for pattern, pencil and scissors.
-Naturally, the needle and thread matched in the color of the flaps.
-Syntepon or any substitute for stuffing pillows.
-A little imagination and free time.
First of all, we take paper for the pattern, with pencil we make sketches of different sizes - these are future rose petals. We will need 5-6 patterns of different sizes. Cut them out.

Fold each flap in half upside down and circle the pattern with a pencil. We cut the part along the intended contour, do not forget to leave an allowance for the seam. Thus, we get immediately 2 halves of one petal. We need about 5 petals for the first smallest pattern, 5 petals for the second largest pattern, 3 petals for the third pattern, 6 petals for the fourth pattern and 5 - for the fifth. I would recommend not to cut out all the details at once, since each has his own eye, and you may need some larger petals and some smaller petals than I indicated. As you collect the pillows into a single whole, you yourself will be guided by the number and size of the petals, as well as by color combination.

Sew along the rounded edge, we turn our blank and do not really fill our petal with a synthetic winterizer or any other filler. Tuck and carefully sew the remaining edge. So do with all the details available.

We begin to manually collect the petals in the small pillow. Getting started with the smallest - this is the future core of the flower. We sew the blanks at the base of the petal, distributing them in a chaotic order (where there are voids, we apply the petal there). Petals, which are slightly larger in size, in the center need to be slightly "husked", make a recess. So we make the leaf look up and keep the shape of the bud.

We continue to sew the petals, moving from small to large. In the last two rows, you can not make a groove, since we need a pillow with a stable base, however, if you get a large product, then you need to navigate the situation. If asked, then do it.

That's all! The pillow is ready! It can be decorated with beads, decorative pebbles, or it can be left as is. It turns out pretty nice, and most importantly exclusive!
