I found this posie flower on the site http://www.madebymarzipan.com/. It gives the free pattern, written, and tutorial video instructions. You have to click on accessories, then hair clips, etc., then scroll down and click on "pretty posies." To get the printable pattern, look for pretty posie pattern on the page with the video. I added leaves myself by cutting the shape of a leaf about 2 1/2 inches tall. I used satin crepe (crepe satin?) from Hobby Lobby. It sells for 2.99 a yard. I think I can get 6-8 flowers out of 1/4 of a yard. When you melt the petals over a candle, the fabric darkens which gives a nice shade to the petals.
This flower used the six circles as given in the pattern. It measures about 3" in diameter.
I made bookmarks to add to notecards. The white posie used the four smaller circles and measures about 2" in diameter. The pink one used all six. I used grosgrain ribbon for the bookmark "strap." Hot-glue gun paradise!
