Fabric Flower Tutorial

- Cut out your flowers carefully.
- If you want more depth, layer smaller flower shapes on top of larger ones and secure with fabric glue or sew them together.
- For added texture, sew or glue beads or buttons into the center of the flowers.
Pro Tip: Mix crocheted and fabric flowers for a whimsical, textured look!
2. Prepare the Valance Base
Now that your flowers are ready, you need to create the base for your valance. You can either crochet a simple chain garland or use a strip of fabric as the base.
- For a crochet base: Chain long enough to fit the width of your window, and make sure to leave extra for draping.
- For a fabric base: Cut a strip of fabric about 5-7 inches tall and long enough to fit your window. Hem the edges for a neat finish using a sewing machine or iron-on hemming tape.
3. Attach the Flowers
Time to make your flowers bloom on the valance! There are several ways to attach the flowers depending on your material:
- Crocheted flowers: Use a tapestry needle and yarn to stitch your flowers onto the base. Space them evenly or create clusters for a fuller effect.
- Fabric flowers: Sew or glue your fabric flowers onto the base, adding layers and textures as you go.
“A mix of bold colors, layered textures, and playful flower shapes will give your valance a true flower power vibe!”
4. Hang the Valance
Once your flowers are attached, it’s time to hang your flower power valance. Use a curtain rod, and if you crocheted a chain, simply drape the valance over the rod. For a fabric base, create a loop or use curtain clips to attach it securely.
