Clover has come out with a template for making folded fabric flowers. Same principle as the folded snowflake. Fold a fabric square into eighths, round off the top and string about 25-30 of them together, using a variety of fabrics. Then pull the string and tie them off. They form into a nice ball. Fluff open the folded parts and voila, a nice looking bouquet. The templates come in four sizes from 3 inches to 6 inches.[/quote]
Here's the link to Clover for their "Flower Frill Template" that I used.

I also used the Kanzashi Flower Maker by Clover for the smaller corsage and boutonnieres for the guys. Add some silk leaves, and other frills and you've got some great long lasting bouquets, centerpieces, etc. You are only limited by your imagination.
