Thanks for the tip on how to shabby up the fabric. I just throw the finished cuts in the washing machine, spent a bit of time ironing them before making the flowers. Great tip! Beautiful flowers to.
Yes this method of fabric flower making looks like a hit. I’m going to reward my self after I do some chores with making some Shabby Easter flowers. They will be a great addition to my holiday display.
Hi Liz, I can't stop watching, your so talented and making something beautiful out of bed sheets is a real skill. You touched my heart when you said that you had been poor wen you were little. I was the same. Here in the uk my mum would sing wen the ice cream seller came in his van because she couldn't afford it. She made clothes for my dad and did her best but she went without to feed us. But putting all the hardships aside I knew she loved us as I'm sure your parent/parents loved u. I'm gunna keep watching and sharing. Thankyou Liz x
+Marlene Richardson How sweet Marlene. Being poor can be a blessing in disguise. It builds character. My mom and grandma had to be creative to survive. I am blessed to have a faithful husband. In u.s. standard still poor but able to create and design for the joy if it.
Thank you. I previously watch another tutorial on how to make the shabby chic loop flower...which I was very Thankful for...however I am so excited to do some using your method with I believe will be easier for me as a beginner. Also yours are beautifully shabby. THANK YOU for your time and knowledge
i am in the process of watching all your videos, and want to say thank you for getting me thru a difficult time in my life, i find them calming and relaxing and you have inspired me to start crafting again and it has helped me greatly, some things i can even do while sitting in bed, in fact the left side is currently covered in lace and fabric, i am going to use up all the bits and pieces i have been collecting for years, love your flowers and everything else, looking forward to your other videos, thank you, barb
+barb thompson I am so glad your outlook is better. My heart is content that I have encouraged you. I was encouraged by other crafters videos on UA-cam just as you. I find that crafting is healing. In fact because of my health and the adoption of a little boy I began a youtube channel. I thought I would be going to boutiques and found I couldn't. Now I enjoy designing, teaching and inspiring others.
love ur work , so informative. God bless . I have bags and bags and scraps and scraps . just had a neck op. so will be a little while befor i start . will keep watching at night befor bed .with no sound ,how fun is that ,thenI listen in the morning if i like the looks. i listen to urs. lots Thank s. soso much . God bless you and everything you touch.
+Hummer Klein. Hope your recovery is speedy. Well, I am glad I am not boring. Haha.. I try to cut out when I start rambling on. Thanks for listening and double watching. I watched tons of tutorial when I was recovering from my surgery also. I suppose it is part of why I decided to begin tutorials. I was inspired and want to inspire others. I am about 4 months old. If you visit my facebook page you will see my current project. It is like playing dress up. I don't want to stop designing.
I love your flowers. I also love using fat quarters. There seems to be a great variety of patterns and you can’t beat the price. Resourcefulness is key!
I purchased some items from your store which I adore! You have inspired me so much today. I want to start making a zillion flowers. I love the idea of raiding my linen closet, using fat quarters and upcycling fabric. I have a pink silk dress from the 70s that I have been saving only because the silk is so nice. Going to take it apart to use. Hope it works for me. Thank you so much.
+Annette McKitrick. I am so glad you are inspired. I enjoy the challenge of using what I have to craft. Pink silk sounds beautiful. Silk is so light and soft, it falls right into place using my hairpin method. Happy crafting.
Hi Liz! I found your channel this morning and I have watched several of your tutorials. Girl, you are blessed,so much talent! I ❤️ vintage,shabby chic things. So happy I found you!
I really liked your video. You explain the directions very good. I love the flowers. They are simple but are very pretty. I can see that i will be making some of these for different projects. Thank you.
Just gorgeous! I love your beautiful flowers.You really inspired me to make some shabby flowers . I may make some for my daughter’s wedding . Thanks for sharing! ❤️
Love watching your tutorials! I am somewhat new to crafting, but started out making filigree ornaments Then, I started watching different UA-cam videos and really was drawn to shabby chic. Your videos make it really easy to understand the process of creating shabby flowers.So glad I found your channel. I subscribed to your channel a few weeks ago and I am a huge fan! Love what you do, please keep doing it!
I really like how these flowers look they are so pretty. I have used this technique before but instead of rolling the flower as you have I went around in circles on top of a piece of felt. I found this quite difficult so I will try making a flower this way. This tutorial is was to understand and follow Tfs, Janet
+janstok011 , Thank you, I did them the other way before too. I found it difficult. So, I do them Alaliz my way. Enjoy. Please email me your flower. Wouldn't it be great to do a video showcasing all my subscribers flowers. A short video or photos would be appreciated.
I am fairly new to you tube and continue to find crafters I really learn from and like. I have recently found you Liz and just watched several of your videos. I really enjoyed them and learned a new twist with your flowers. Tfs🤗🇺🇸
a fat quart is 18x22", which is not half a yard. More like a quarter of a yard. Yes, flat sheets are good to use I have used them often.....all types of stuff dyes fabric or paper. Fantastic ideas to share
WOW...I ❤️❤️❤️ your truly shabby chic flowers, the way you demonstrated to us on how to make them was fantastic & now I can’t wait to get started making some. Anyway, I wanted to know if you could tell me how you tea dyed your sheets because they are much bigger items? Thanks so much & take care, 🎀🧩 Lily 🧩🎀
Love the video, flowers are beautiful. Would you consider making the flowers out of denim material. I know there might be some denim that wouldn't be good for the shabby chic look but I just cut down a pair of old shorts it is then on but it's not that real thick then alert this is turning out pretty well but just think about it. I'm going to get back your video, I'm learning so much.
Hi pat, when others have asked about denim I do suggest this method. I am planning a new series of 5 minute tutorials on flower making. Denim would be a great one to do.
I just finished my first shabby flower from the first video in your shanny chick on a budget videos. I am new to UA-cam so am learning as I go. Is there a way to send you a picture so you can give me your opinion or to give suggestions? I love your videos
Hey Liz! I tried to find the right video and gave up! Lol. I have made some of the layers to the flowers where you use the bobby pin; scrunch the string in the bobby pin, then the cotton fabric, tie, pull off bobby pin, tie again, and finally fan the cotton fabric out into a circle accordion looking layer. My question is this: how do you keep the same width (4") of fabric for the entire legnth (9") when tearing the cotton fabric? My cotton fabric tore a little bit crooked. At one end it was 4 1/4", and at the other it was 4 1/2". It may not sound like much difference but it really is. It's noticeable to me, especially when I put on a second layer of the flower,. The second layer tore 3" consistently the entire legnth of the torn fabric; 1 1/2" on each side of the tied center. I can notice that my flower is lopsided. I would just trim the longer side down had I not spent a lot of time fraying the edges to give it the beautiful shabby chic look by pulling a butt ton of threads off the edges. The cotton fabric would only allow me to pull one thread ar a time so I have A LOT of time invested in this flower just to realize it's lopsided. Sigh : / Sooooooo......I would love to know your tips, tricks, or any advice that you may have for a newborn-staged beginner so that I can avoid this in the future please. Ok, ok....pretty please? : D Pretty please with sugar on top AND a cherry???? LOL. ;0) WARNING: If you see this (cuz I know you posted these videos 3 yrs ago, or you may be real busy, etc.), and you reply back.....be warned..... I have more questions. Oh!! I almost forgot!!! Shame on me!!! Your work is stunning!! Your teaching techniques are superb!! I wanna create gorgeous flowers just like yours (and wreaths...well, at least create one, of every one of your creations that I've seen lol..but not joking) AND with such ease so I hope you don't mind my questions. Eeek. Thank you for doing your tutorials. I've watched hours and hours of them in the last 24 hours!! And thank you in advance for reading all of my rambling, and answering mine, and everyone else's questions! God bless! `•~☆ Marsha ☆~•`
@@CraftyDevotion , I'm a quilter & went to a guild meeting and learned this. It works very well on wool fabric. I'm looking forward to seeing how well it worked for you.
Liz, I am also new to your channel. I love these. I saw you nadene a wreath with them. But what else do you do them them? I have used small shabby flowers on barrettes. ???
+Terri's Angels Hi, welcome toy channel. I also attach a hair pin to them and use them when I wrap gifts. That way they can pin it on a basket Or on their hair. They are useful for any project. I also attach a ribbon to them and wrap them around a vase.
Thanks for the tip on how to shabby up the fabric. I just throw the finished cuts in the washing machine, spent a bit of time ironing them before making the flowers. Great tip! Beautiful flowers to.

Love the flowers and stuff but how do you attach the tails do you just glue them on the back
This is a series and the tails are in another tutorial. But yes glue them on the back.
@@CraftyDevotion okay thank you so much

Thank you, I am glad you found a flower diy that had inspired you to give it a try.

+Jane Marg Hull cool, thank you
I need very small flowers that I can use on cards and multi media projects. Got any tutorials on that? You do a great job with your flowers.
These can be any size based on your fabric size. Maybe look at my ribbon flower.
I just finished my first shabby flower from the first video in your shanny chick on a budget videos. I am new to UA-cam so am learning as I go. Is there a way to send you a picture so you can give me your opinion or to give suggestions? I love your videos

Hi, answers coming. It sounds like you are being successful overall.
You can also use yellow and purple onion skins to dye fabric.
I need to dye something soon. I will think about that. Thanks
@@CraftyDevotion , I'm a quilter & went to a guild meeting and learned this. It works very well on wool fabric. I'm looking forward to seeing how well it worked for you.
Do you cut off the back to make it flat or lay flat?
Good morning, These are not flat flowers. The closer you cut to the edge of the fabric is your only adjustment.
hi :-) , what glue do you use please (I'm french -)
Hi, I currently use high temp only hot glue or fabric tac cold glue. Beacon cold glues.
I have a couple of fitted bottom sheets that wore out. You would just cut the corners off and use the rest
Yes you could, give them an extra cleaning and go for it.
Liz, I am also new to your channel. I love these. I saw you nadene a wreath with them. But what else do you do them them? I have used small shabby flowers on barrettes. ???
+Terri's Angels Hi, welcome toy channel. I also attach a hair pin to them and use them when I wrap gifts. That way they can pin it on a basket Or on their hair. They are useful for any project. I also attach a ribbon to them and wrap them around a vase.
