Looks like more than one of us would like a pattern!! Are you going to share? I have FIVE granddaughters!!! :roll: :D :-D :shock:

Okay, I'll admit that I'd like the pattern too.
I've been sitting here trying to figure out how they're made since Quilter7x and Wvdek have already sent their addresses to get these. LOL

Gosh!!! Okay --- I've been gone all day -- sorry or I'd have been back on here sooner!! I've made these years ago and DID put them on my daughters barretts and on her ponytail "thingy".....

For each petal:

ONE 1 1/2" square

Lay the squares down, right sides together. I then took a snip of 2 corners.....doesn't have to be exact -- after all, NO flower is exact and perfect.

I then handstitched a scant 1/4" around three sides with double strand of thread. Do NOT cut the thread.

Now turn the petal inside out. Line up the raw edge and stitch it together. Do NOT cut the thread. When you've finished, very gently pull the thread to gather the petal. Now make a tacking stitch (back and forth in the same place). Then you can go BACK thru the end of the petal to make that gathered end as tight as you can. NOW you can cut the thread.

When you have 6 petals done, take 2 petals and do a tack stitch holding two together. Go on around and kinda overlap the petals just a little bit. The goal is to get the hole in the middle as small as you can. Sew or glue a button to the middle, and glue a magnet to the back!!! VOILA!!!!

SO simple!

I forgot to mention.......these don't match a THING in my kitchen!!! LOL So I'll have to find a home for them! And make more :lol:

I could probably figure these out, but a pattern (template) would be helpful??????
