Because Whimsy trims are so versatile, I'm sharing a flower made from the Mirrored Garland Trim (previous post). Both can be found in my book, Whimsy Flowers & Trims. Video tutorial included at bottom.
Materials
See previous post for ribbon trims.
Flower Center: yellow stamen from craft store (look in cake decorating)
Flower Making
Make the Mirrored Flower Trim as shown in the previous post. Press the trim flat and apply Whimsy tape to each edge of trim on one side only (two pieces of tape).
With the taped sides of trim on the outside, fold trim in half along the center and sew along the edge.
Remove tape. One side of trim will be orange and the other will be pink.
With stamen in the center, loosely roll trim keeping the seamed edge even.
Turn flower wrong side up. Insert pins to hold and hand sew to finish.
You can also glue a piece of felt to the back adding leaves if desired.
Wrap trim with opposite colors facing out for a slightly different look.
