Tutorial.......
Hobo flowers are flowers that don’t have a finish edge. They are mainly rough, frayed edges etc..
Supplies needed:
T-Shirt, Beads, Beacon Adhesive Fabri -Tac, Ribbon, Fabric, Cuttlebug Naturals Die Cut from Provo Craft, Cuttlebug Machine, Martha Stewart Beads.
How to:
1. Thread beads, add knots, and enough thread to thread thru the T-Shirt, add enough fabric for tie back around the neck.
2. Create the Hobo flower by cutting 2 strips of fabric 1.5 by 28 inches, and 1.5 by 24, twist fabric, add to ribbon using Fabri-Tac in a circular, let dry. Once dry add Fabri-Tac to the center of the Hobo Flower, add the beads.
3. Thread the beaded fabric strip to the neckline of the T-Shirt, see below.
3. Thread the beaded fabric strip to the neckline of the T-Shirt, see below.
4. Adhere the flower using Fabri- Tac to the back of the Hobo Flower. Add to the center of the T-Shirt.
5. Cut the butterflies using Cuttlebug Naturals Die from Provo Craft see below. I pull the threads by hand on the butterflies to give it a Hobo Finish to match the flowers.
6.Adhere the Hobo Flowers, butterflies and voila you are done!
