Instructions:1 Cut each yard of fabric in half lengthwise so that you have 4 pieces that are 21” by 36”.

2 Cut strips that are 4” wide and 21” long. You should end up with 36 strips.

3 Fold strip in half wrong sides facing so that you have a strip that is 2” wide by 21” long.

4 Tuck ends inside so that the seams are fi nished.

5 Baste stitch ¼” from the bottom. Make about 2 - 3 stitches per inch.

6 Gather the fabric by pushing the fabric towards the knotted end. The fabric will form into a

rolled shape.

7 Starting at one end, roll into a tight fl ower shape, slipping stitching the layers as you go.

8 Once all fl owers are fi nished, place Styrofoam ball into the vase. Add fl owers to the

Styrofoam ball starting at the bottom. Use pins to secure the fl owers to the ball.
