Here is one of Kathy's finished products -- a basket of fresh
flowers. The flowers are inserted in florist foam to stay in
place. The fabric was pasted together to form these flowers.
At this point the stem is added
and wrapped with florist tape as
described before. Leaves can be
made with wire m the same way,
and added where desired.
Kathy also makes candle rings,
and for some of these she makes
“puffy” flowers. Petals for these
are cut 'A inch larger than
desired, then stitched, tinned and
pressed. They are then stuffed
with “sterilized cotton, quilt
stuffing, nylon stockings or
whatever you have,” Kathy says.
Again, Kathy says, “the petals
can be any shape or size.” When
all the petals are finished you can
sew them together with heavy
duty thread. The centers can be
sewn in or pasted on, and can be
rick-rack, lace, ball fringe or any
trim. Leaves can be sewn on or
pinned in place, or they can be
made with a double piece of felt,
glued together with a piece of
pipe cleaner sandwiched between
the leaves. This can then simply
be twisted around the ring.
Or the flower petals can be
glued together as described
before, with short pipe cleaner
stems, and they can be wrapped
with the florist tape to the wire
ring.
Kathy suggests using a candle
ring you presently have to
measure the size of your wire.
She says you can use any wire
which is firm enough. She used
double picture wire.
When sewing the flowers on the
wire, she suggests doing it
loosely. They can easily be
arranged in proper position
around the candle. Again she
recommends using an odd
number of flowers on the ring.
If you want to make all
the flowers for your candle ring
with the same fabric, Kathy says
you must plan to use about V*
yard of 45 inch fabric, remem
bering that all the petals are
double. Of course, for variety and

interest you can use different,
coordinating fabrics.
Kathy got the idea to make
these lovely fabric flowers from a
women’s magazine, but she
developed the variations herself.
She said repeatedly that you
should try using “anything
around the house” to achieve the
type flowers you want. Her goal
is to try to make forsythia!
If figures, of course, that Kathy
enjoys sewing and makes most of
the family’s clothes. She also is

spend most of their free time

Fabric flowers can be a real
home-brightener, and are easy to
care for. Kathy says vacumming
them will take off the dust.
