Take foam sheet ( kids crafts) cut into a circle with wavy edges. Cut two pieces of fabric 1/2" larger and sew like a pillow, turn right side out-stuff foam inside, close opening and lay flat. Decorative stitch, couch yarn, color thread, glass beads on top side and edge. The more quilting, the better design shrinking. Place flat piece in oven at 300-350 and the foam will soften-Caution do not overheat or burn!! it will start to shrink up. Remove with oven mitt and place over upturned glass bowl to form the bowl shape by pressing evenly until cooled. The flower petals are sewn individually- ransom shape length and with and stuffed with the foam(flat) - lots of line quilting on each petal. Same procedure in the oven-heat, shrink and shape. Stitch or glue the petals to make a flower. Glue to a cardboard base. Moosegirl
