Fabric Flower Rings

Everywhere I look I see fabric rings, I guess it's the new trend. And flower fabric rings are even more in demand! So I decided to try my hand at it. I took contrasting colors of fabric such as orange with a zebra print fabric brad. It's simple to make. Just pick out the fabric of your choice and measure it 2 inches wide by 10 inches length (or larger if you like). Once the fabric is cut thread a needle with of your choice of thread, perhaps one that matches your fabric. Fold your fabric in half length wise and stitch the bottom. As you stitch pull on the thread so that the fabric gathers. Then it will form a circle and begin to look like a flower. Stitch the open ends together. Then you can add a button or brad of your choice for the center. You now can make as many flowers as you like! And you can make them into brooches or rings, earrings or key chains-there is no limit to your imagination! Here is my first one that I have made :)
