"You will need.. a shiny fabric that burns well..." Not a sentence one hears every day on sewing tutorials. =D Great video though, thank you! I had no idea what lollipop flowers were before this.
@peepgal Aww thanks! I get ideas from all over the place...sometimes I'm inspired by something I see in a photo or a store and then I create my own version. Other times I create things out of neccessity :)
Great Tute! I've made these and a nice variation is to make all the circles the same size, then sew them together off-center, so they kind of fan out.
@citypenguin Polyesters or other synthetic materials are best. Silks and natural fibers tend to burn and scorch rather than slightly melt and curl. I've found lining fabrics work well -- and are super cheap! :)
Great tutorial! One thing, though...cutting the corners off of squares makes octagons, not hexagons! :) Once I get a lighter, I'll definitely try this out on some red and white fabric...I think combining the two would be nifty.
I love these and would make them excpet for the fact that my mom won't let me buy a lighter. I need it for a few projects right now but she keeps telling me anything i need to use a lighter for I can use a match. But I would burn myself quite badly with a match.
@billkaulitzluvagirl You could try using a candle...that's what I did when my last lighter ran out of fluid. You still have to be really careful...but it works :)
@miamismartgirl Thanks! I made a red flower with a black button in the center for a gal and it was super cute! (She was thinking of using them for wedding boutonnières)
Very cool. The pieces totally look like rose petals to me. I could see how this could work for a few different projects and looks aside from the just the lollipop flowers. I bet the lollipop flowers would look adorable on a headband. Going to make my daughter one. Thanks.
very nice :D, I did this ones to embellish a gift for a friend, but it came out in kind of oval shapes, it was not perfect, but she liked it very much :P
@PTuinman Cool! That's ok if it turns out a little out of shape...real flowers aren't perfect. And with any DIY I think it's the thought and effort that goes into it that really counts :)
so pretty going to make these for my girls
