TUTORIAL: FRAYED FABRIC FLOWER (CUT OUT + KEEP; MAIZE HUTTON)

I'm calling this the Super Speedy, Super Easy Flower.  Most fabrics can be torn in the strips (test tear your fabric), which will produce more frays along the edge.  The stitch along the edge can be either hand or machine (basting stitch).  It's USPS Friendly, provided you don't use a clunky button in the center (substitute with a circle of fabric, small beads that are glued, etc.).

Now this is one speedo, quicko way to create flowers in any size you want to use for whatever you want.  Another super plus...USPS Friendly (flat for mailing). No smooshing in the envelope.

Time for another flower...this is a neat one cause you can use ribbon, seam binding, or lace.  They're quite flat when finished (USPS friendly).

And you thought you had to have a die or a punch or a template or a crochet hook or knitting needles (and yarn) to make a flower. Nope! These flowers are one clever way to add eye-popping embellishments to your creations, in addition to being USPS Friendly
