Tutorial: fabric flower

Today I want to show you how to make this little fabric flower.
Start with a fabric square about 10 x 10 cm, the size is to your liking.I have previously folded the square in four to mark the center.Begin with the wrong side of the fabric, this will be the "back" of the flower.

begin to fold the corners toward the center.To keep it in place, use small stitches.

The four corners folded:

View of the other side (the "front side":

fold one side to the center and continue using small stitches:

And repeat with the four sides

Now take one of the corners and fold slightly outward to form the petals.(God, is hard to explain this ^^u)

Repeat in the four "corners" until you have the flower.

Sew the corners in the back
