The Creative Library: Handmade Fabric Flowers by You-Zhen Lu

August 27, 2012 by Jessica 2 Comments

Handmade Flower Book

I have another wonderful book to share for the Creative Library series. This book, Handmade Fabric Flowers, is by You-Zhen Lu, who is an accredited expert in the field of fabric flowers in Japan. It is filled with 32 different tutorials to create one of a kind fabric flowers.

I just had to give one of the tutorials a try, so I made a dahlia. It was one of the few that didn’t require me to use a flower iron.

It called for the use of organza or chiffon, so I used some organza I had on hand already. Mine was a fraying kind, but I like my flowers a little messy so it worked.

It was fun to make and I’m happy with the result. The directions are very good with pictures and there are tons of pattern pieces in the back for the different flowers. Here are a few more pictures of the different flowers you can make.

If you are looking for a book on how to make beautiful professional flowers, I would highly recommend this one. You won’t be disappointed.

    I’m curious – what is a flower iron? I googled it but didn’t immediately come up with an answer.

      It’s kind of like a wood burning kit, but with different shaped metal pieces to create the creases and all on the flower. You can see some here: http://www.lacis.com/catalog/data/AE_FlowerTools.html. This is what they use to make millinery flowers and such.Hope that helps ๐Ÿ™‚

I have this idea for Valentines decor on our mantl I have this idea for Valentines decor on our mantle and these fun confetti hearts I made are going to be a part of it. You can find a tutorial to make your own from @amanda_evanston . A few of the items I used in mine were: shredded Anthropologie shopping bag (and cut up the fabric handle too), cut up newspaper, hole punched card stock, fringe from yarn, cut up gold circle confetti, crinkled gift filler paper, etc... It was fun using all kinds of random things ๐Ÿ˜Š
