Does anyone know how to make flowers for little girls room out of frabric?

I was watching a show where they used cardboard and frabric for big flowers to put on a wall and I don%26#039;t know how to do it. Does anyone know or have any ideas cause it is alot of money to buy it and I need to make a few of them.

I would use foam core board, instead of cardboard, to add some dimension. Cut out a paper pattern in the size you want. Cut out the foam board with an exato knife, using this pattern. Lay the foam core petal on your chosen fabric ( wrong side up). Draw around the petal, about 1%26quot; to the outside. Spray the front of the foam core with a spray glue ( I would recommend Spray 77, available at Home Depot and craft stores ). While the glue is still tacky, smooth the fabric on it. Cut notches in the 1%26quot; overhang, and smooth to the back. These tabs can be secured with any thick craft glue. Make 5 petals for each flower ( always an odd number ). What I would do for the center of the flower, is get those honeycomb tissue balls that you open up to form a circle. Only open them up to form a 1/2 circle,and attach it to the center of the petals. You can get these balls at any party store.Attach it all to your wall with removable tape tabs that you can get in an office supply store.
Reply:aww that sounds adorable. i guess you just cut the card board out into little flower petals and staple some pretty fabric on it bu tim not sure.
