The Burnt Petals Flower

Start by cutting your petals. The shape isn't that important, because once you burn the edges they sort of round themselves out. 

Burn the edges of each petal with your trusty hand-held fire starter (or your neighbor's).

Start attaching the petals with matching thread, ONE or TWO at a time, securing with a whip stitch in the center. 

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. 

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.
