This year my amazing mother decided to sew us all (except Clarissa's she bout hers) Easter dresses!!! and I found this pattern and made us flowers with the extra fabric! It was realy easy!!!
first I cut five, 4" by 4" squares and a long 2" wide strip out of knit fabric. (my strip was 44" but it dosen't have to be exact)

Next I folded a square in halve and stitched along the edge, use very long thread!!!

Thean gather the square to make a peatal!!!!

Tie a knot, but DO NOT cut the thread. Without cutting the thread go to the next peatal, gather and tie a knot.

Once you gather all five peatals tie an knot to make a loop of peatals. don't cut the thread put aside the peatals leaving the thread long.

Next I folded the knit strp in half and cut little slits along the whole length of the strip.

Next wind the strip into a roll, and use the thread (still attached to the ring of peatals) to go thrugh the roll. I made my roll a little big!!! and had a little problem with my needle!!!! so I used hot glue instead.
my sad needle!!! 
Next I used the extra thread and stitched (or if you have an extra large middle like mine use hot glue) the middle to the peatals!!
Now use hot glue to attach a hair clip or you can sew it to a bag, or shirt or any thing you want!!!

Now your finished!!!!! :)

Here are the other ones I made! for the pink and white one, my middle is way smaller I only used a 20" strip.
THE END!!!!!
