My aunt offered me some organza for making a flower so I went ahead with cutting circles. I cut four 5" circles, four 3.5" circles and two 2" circles. I sewed the layers together. Started by folding the circles in quarters then overlapped the points of 2 of the circles and stitched then repeated that and placed these offset from the first set. Now I had a full circle of organza. Repeated the same process with the 4 medium circles. The small circles I folded in half and then in thirds to make the center. This was stitched horizontally to keep the petals pointing forward instead flattened. Once this was done I secured my thread carefully.
I added a 2.5 inch cardstock circle to the back of the flower with thread and then stitched the wire to the flower and card stock to ensure it would stay in place. I cut a piece of the lining fabric from the fern wrap and and hand stitched that to cover the mess at the back of the flower.
