I just use old scarves that I find at thrift stores or in my old clothes, and I use a candle to singe the edges. It's a little bit easier than using a lighter. Great tute, by the way! Wish I woulda found it before I started making flowers! I just sorta figured it out my own way! LOL! I've made many many flowers like this, though I only have one posted in my etsy so far.

They all have different looks and they are truly "icing on the cake" in anything I attach them to. So glad you enjoyed the tutorial! Thank you Anonymous/ThruMyEyes1,

I tried singing thin polyester fabric and it worked. If you look very closely at some of the flowers on Etsy, you can even see some of the darkened singed edges. I used a lighter....very carefully. It's time consuming but the result is worth the effort. Thanks for stopping by. I tried singing thin polyester fabric and it worked.
