Thread: Frilly Flower Template to make fabric flowers for accessories

I had never seen this before. I really want one of these and just wanted to share the link to the website. They have other templates for flower petals, yo yos, etc.

If you click on the link and scroll down the page there is a video to play on how to make them. It looks pretty easy. Check it out.

I have them. Am disappointed in the product. It does what it says it will, but these are a flimsy cardboard....don't seem like they will last too long. I even wrote the company (clover) and suggested a different way of doing the same flower with a template that would be long-lived....no response...I used it once...then the thrill was gone!!!!! BTW- if some out here have the GO die cutter and the rose of sharon die....same flower can be accomplished.....

I watched the video since I love making fabric/ribbon flowers. I had the same impression as you that those paper templates are not going to hold up long with all of the folding. I can't think of another material that would do the folding though. I'd just trace them onto something to make my own when these wore out. Watching these videos is so much fun. Thank you so much for sharing them with us.

That is really a good idea. Guess that's another gaget I will have to have.

I have a membership with Crafters Choice and purchased all 3 sizes from their website. I don't think you have to be a member to order, but they do have them in stock.
