Hello crafty friends!

I am thrilled to share with you a fun DIY project: making rag flowers using shower curtain rings and fabric strips. This craft is not only fun and whimsical but also incredibly affordable. Plus, it's a fantastic way to use up those fabric scraps you've been saving!

Step-by-Step Tutorial

For the full tutorial, make sure to check out my YouTube video where I walk you through each step of the process. You'll see exactly how to create these beautiful rag flowers.

Basic Steps:

1. Prepare Your Fabric: Cut your fabric into strips. The size of the strips can vary, but I find that 1-inch to 1 1/2 wide strips by 8 inches long work best for a fuller flower.

2. Wrap the Rings: Take a shower curtain ring and tie the strips to it. Take a strip, fold it in half - put the loop end through the ring. Take the tails of the strip and put through the loop -- pull it tight.

3. Fill the Ring: add all of the strips to the ring.

4. Create the Center: trace a ring on a piece of cardboard, cut it out. cut a square of fabric a bit bigger that the circle. Using hot glue, wrap the fabric to the back and secure. Glue the center to the back of the ring.

5. Finish and Fluff: Fluff and adjust the petals to give your flower a natural look. Glue a dowel rod to the back if you'd like.
