Stampin' Up! Flower Folds Die with Fabric!

MAD Challenge - Day 9!

Yesterday was my group Stamp & Share event for my group of demonstrators.  We get together each month, and thanks to these wonderful ladies and their fabulous ideas, we always have a great time, filled with fun ideas.

I made these fun flower pins for all my helpers, and they were a big hit.
First I chose 2 fabrics, and cut out my flowers. I used the 2 smallest flowers on the Flower Folds die, and cut 4 flowers of each size.... 2 of each fabric in each size.

I took the 4 smaller flowers and folded them in half.
Then I layered them as follows:
Start with one print, lay on the right, then take the 2nd print and lay across the top.  I used a glue stick to hold them in place.
Lay the first print over as shown:
And then lay down the last folded flower down. 
Now, pull the bottom of the fisrt flower on top of the last one, like below:
So your layer will look like this:
Repeat this with the other size of flower. Then lay the small one on top of the larger, and hand stitch them together.  I just did an X pattern to secure them.  Then I attached a button and a pin back.
The finished result has lots of layers and are so fun!

Do you have people who help you out?  How about a fun gift to let them know they are special and you appreciate them.
I hope you are doing well with the Making A Difference Challenge!
