This is something quite different--how to make fabric flowers the Japanese Kanzashi Fabric way.

The technique is simple but note that the fabric used is linen, which means a fabric with some weight and body to it. I think a thin fabric would not work as well, but I haven't tried it.
Still, for the right canvas this might be a lovely accessory.
UPDATE: You can see the flowers used on Peggi's Sugar Skull mask. Told you they'd be perfect on the right design!

Hi Jsane - I'm in the process of trying this technique on a new model I am stitching. Think it's gonna' work, so I'll keep you posted.
