Making Flowers From Satin Fabric

    * Cut the fabric in the shape of rose petals. Make enough pieces to form a dense cluster. The petals are more or less circular in shape. The petals that will be at the center should be smaller than the outer ones.
    * Now hold each of the petals over the flame of the candle and let the edges melt. You will find the edges have curled and they have become stiff. Make sure the fabric doesn't catch fire.
    * Now closely paste/sew the smaller petals with each other to form the center of the rose. Keep attaching the petals one after another to make the cluster that will look exactly like a rose.
    * Once you have made the flower, you can attach a clip at the base of the flower to grip it on your dress, bands or sandal straps. These types of flowers can also be made into a bouquet for keeping it in a flower vase.
