Start by cutting your petals. The shape isn’t that important, because once you burn the edges they sort of round themselves out. DSC00611 512x384 Fabric Flower Tutorial #8  The Burnt Petals Flower

Burn the edges of each petal with your trusty hand-held fire starter (or your neighbor’s).DSC00612 512x384 Fabric Flower Tutorial #8  The Burnt Petals Flower

Start attaching the petals with matching thread, ONE or TWO at a time, securing with a whip stitch in the center. DSC00613 512x384 Fabric Flower Tutorial #8  The Burnt Petals Flower

Keep attaching your petals until you’ve completed a full circle, or the base of the flower. Then continue threading on petals and then positioning them just so and securing them in the center. Keep doing this until you’ve attached all of your lovely petals. DSC00614 512x384 Fabric Flower Tutorial #8  The Burnt Petals Flower

Gorgeous. Although this is the longest method of the burnt fabric flowers, it still only takes a few minutes, and I think it’s may favorite.DSC00615 512x384 Fabric Flower Tutorial #8  The Burnt Petals Flower

    Fantastic, was looking for a delicate way to make soft roses for a chiffon wedding gown, when low and behold I came upon your link. Thank you so much. Now I just have to figure out how big and how many petals. Bless you…
