This was a great video but do you have to sew the felt? Can you use something else?

I love this technique! But is sewing the best way to do this project? Can you do it some other way?
Tanya  |  Mon Jun 27, 2011 at 3:48 PM
I'm glad the material worked for you Dee Dee. I've since made one with fabric too, and they're a lot of fun. I even used some burlap for a rugged, rustic look. Did you upload your flower to SCS? I'd love to see it.

Tanya: You could glue the ends together to form a tube, thus eliminating the sewing if you like. I'm sure that would work too.

Thanks for this tutorial--these will make nice flowers, add a pin back or a barrette back and embellish a sweater, a tee-shirt, or your hair.
