TUTORIAL: WIRED EDGED FABRIC FLOWERS (POLKA DOT PINEAPPLE; ARLETTE)

Seeing this tut brought back so many memories...back in the old days, bouquets of these flowers were seen in lots of houses.  We often covered both sides of the wire with fabric (the wire would not be exposed), then cut around the edge of the wire after the glue had dried. These flowers are easy, quick, inexpensive, and are a wonderful way to use fabric scraps.  No fabric...paper works too; select paper with a slight flex (cardstock would be a poor choice; mulberry paper would be a good choice).
