Fabric flowers are all the rage and I have learned a super easy and fast way to make them. 
Start with felt and strips of fabric ... any type of fabric will work. (Look closely at the finished project - you will see I even used a strip of fabric from an old T-Shirt. :-) Tear or cut the fabric in to strips about 1-2" wide ...
Cut your felt into a circle slightly bigger than the size you want your finished flower. Tie a knot in one end of the fabric. Using your hot glue gun - glue the knot on to the felt and then just wrap the fabric around the knot.
Twist and scrunch and glue the fabric as you wrap it around the knot ... very easy ... the more twists and scrunches the better !! 
To finish - tuck end of fabric under its self and secure with glue. Trim extra felt off if desired.
I finished these by adding rhinestone embellishments and backing some of of them with burlap (my fav fabric these days!!) Look again at how I trimmed the felt some off some of the flowers - but on others I didn't. 
You can add the flowers to any project ... I hot glued my finished flowers on this frame - along with more rhinestones. Didn't it turn out so fabulously cute!!!
