I designed this flower to take cute pics of our goat but of course you may use your flower for any project.
It can be used for headbands, barrettes, bouquets and to embellish anything that needs a bit of cuteness.
This flower consists of 3 layers with each layer made individually and then sewn together. The small and medium layers are 6 petals and the large layer is 9 petals.

Needle and thread

Hot glue and gun
Small piece of felt
3 small feathers - for cruelty free feathers - Running Bug Farm

Finishing
Weave the long tail from the large flower into the center, place the medium layer on the large layer and the small layer on the medium layer. Use the tail to stitch the layers together.
Fold over the lace about a 1/4" and using needle and thread, stitch across the top of the lace, folding over the opposite end of lace a 1/4". Pull on the thread to gather lace into a circle and stitch it together.
Using hot glue, glue 3 feathers and 2 pearl strands to the bottom of the flower, glue the lace (over the feathers) to the bottom of the flower and glue a circle of felt to the bottom of the flower. Glue the button to the center top of the flower.
If you are using the flower for a goat horn, attach thread to the bottom right of the flower, ch 8 and sl st to the bottom left of the flower. This allows you to slip the flower onto the horn between the flower and the chains. You may need more than 8 chains if your goats horn is too thick for 8 chains.
You can stitch the flower onto a headband or barrette and then glue on the felt circle. You can also glue on a pin back or magnet.
