I used a petal template from Clover to create these fun fabric flowers. Works well with fabric that's the same on the 'wrong' side which was why I chose burlap and batik fabrics.
After cutting out your petals you fold them in quarters (essentially you're cutting out circles for the petals) and through the center or the pointed part of the petal you insert a threaded needle as you stack or gather the petals.
Once you've stacked enough petals, secure by knotting the thread. Pull apart the folds to create a nice full flower! Stitch your button of choice into the center. I used brooch pin clasps to stitch onto the backs
I've seen this done with hot glue instead of stitching including hot gluing your button and the pin on the back. Plenty more tutorials on the web!
