Supplies:
- scrap fabric pieces (each about 2” by 9”)
- canning ring/band
- used canning lid, spray painted black
- small square of burlap, a little larger than the canning lid
- 3” wood circle
- 12-15” piece of jute twine
- hot glue gun
- scissors
Fold a piece of fabric in half. Pull the center of the fabric through the middle of canning ring from the back and put the ends of the fabric through the loop. Pull to tighten. (It is essentially like those old latch hook rug kits!) Continue until the canning ring is full, making sure to loop the fabric in the same direction each time.
Trim the ends of the fabric to create an even flower. Fluff.
Fold the twine in half and loop over the ring in the same manner. Tie a knot in the end.
Place the sunflower upside down on a hard surface. Place the burlap over the black side of the canning lid. With the burlap down, press the canning lid into the back of the canning ring. It will not fit because of the bulk of the fabric, so pressure must be applied to bend and dent the lid towards the front of the flower. This will make if fit snugly in place and curve slightly outward.
Tuck the ends of the burlap towards the center. Place hot glue along the edge of the back side of the canning ring. Press the wood circle over the back to conceal the burlap and create a clean surface for hanging against a wall.
