Big Shot Fabric Flower Pin Tutorial

The Big Shot isn’t just for cutting paper shapes! Try your hand at cutting fabric shapes with your Big Shot to make this whimsical fabric flower brooch.

Step-by-step Big Shot Fabric Flower Pin Tutorial

1. Cut 3 layers of tulle with the Scallop Circles #2 Bigz Die, and cut up to 8 layers of cotton fabric at a time with the Circles #2 Originals Die (I cut 2 layers of two different prints and had extra circles left over).  Lay them out, alternating fabric and tulle layers while offsetting the circles for a whimsical look.

2.  Using linen thread and a large needle, sew the Pretty in Pink corduroy button through all the layers to hold the brooch together. Knot the linen thread on the front and tie an extra piece into a bow. Trim ends.

3.  Cut two slits on one more large fabric circle for the pin back to slide through, hiding the bar behind the circle. Adhere the pin back and fabric circle to the back of the flower brooch with a hot glue gun.
