Origami Flower

Simple origami flowers for cards, clothes, cushions, bags etc...
	1- to begin with, you need 2 circles of contrasting fabrics, mine were around 10cm in diameter - sewn together right sides together then turned inside out and pressed into a circle
	2- Mark the center of the circle and fold one quarter and sew in place in the middle
	3- Carry on with the other side, then the last two quarters
	4- Open the corners to form a flower
	5- This is the tricky part : carefully press each corner (with your finger is enough) to mark it then turn it inside out ( it will feel strange, but just go for it) -and sew in place :
front back	Do the same for all the other corners
	6- You can use the flowers to decorate your clothes, handbags, wall hangings, cards etc.
