I don't have a camera. The top is just flaps. I divided the plate into 4 equal parts, added one more of the same size. You now have 5 equal flaps. I didn't like the pie shape and I also wanted it to over lap in the middle so I added about an inch to each piece and rounded them at the ends to give it a more pleasing shape.
Cut 10 petals and five pieces of thin batting. Sandwich the batting between the wrong sides of the fabric, sew 1/4", turn to right side. You may need to clip the seams. You may also need to step the seams.
Cut 2 bottoms and one piece of thin batting. Sandwich batting between the right sides of the fabric, sew 1/4 inch. You should have a raw edge and both right sides out.
Attach the petals evenly around the bottom using a scant 1/4 inch sew around the raw edge. Bind raw edges.
I hope this helps.
