I love Sunflowers , Rusty Bedsprings and Pincushions so this was the perfect combination!
Even if you don’t sew this is just a beautiful piece to display anywhere really !
Supplies you will need
• Material for your flower I used left over Wool pieces I had but you can use anything you have on hand
• thin piece of cardboard
• glue gun
• Bedspring
• thread
• poly fil
You will need to cut the circles in these sizes .
Once you get them cut you are ready to begin creating your Sunflower .
These are the colors I chose to use .
I also cut two leaves .
Here is the sizes of the strips I cut .
About 14 of each .
I took my large circle and ran a gathering stitch around it .
It should look like this .
I took my 3 “ circle and then set it inside it .
Then I pulled my stitches tighter.
This is the back it won’t close all the way just make sure it’s even.
This is the front side .
I did the same thing with a smaller circle.
You should have two of these.
Then glue them together.
You want the opened area to face each other that’s how you will glue it .
Then flip your circle over and start gluing your strips .
You will glue the longer ones first .
You are folding them and gluing them on .
Once you are done you are ready for the smaller strips .
It should look like this .
Now you are ready to complete the middle circle.
Stuff your center after that you are ready to finish your flower.
I added the smaller circle to the back to help hold the stuffing in .
I went ahead and glued my center on !
I love this flower!
I love this Distress ink ! It’s Vintage photo .
I’ll drop a link for it .
I love the grunge look after applying my Distress ink. You can skip this step if you want to!
I cut my leaves out and gave it a simple whip stitch and then I stitched a run stitch down the middle .
You can sew the leaves on but I went ahead and glued them on .
I sandwiched my leaves between the petals and the base of my flower and glued them on .
I love it !
I got these springs from Amazon I’ll drop a link for these .
I put my sunflower on my spring to see where I wanted to place it .
I went ahead and sewed a few stitches around the base of the spring to the material to hold the spring on !
You can also glue it on too!
I absolutely love how this Sunflower Pincushion on a rusty bedspring came out!
