Description
I used a ruffle foot to make the ruffles for JJ in one long strip, since I loath gathering. I had some leftover, so I sewed them in a circle and finished with a new-but-antique-looking button in the center, and attached the whole thing to a hair tie. I might also add a pin back to it, but we’ll see.
This could also very easily be made out of pretty much any fairly light fabric, anything that ruffles well should work.
Material Notes
Silk of some sort. I think it was meant to be lining; it's nice and light and smooth, but not shiny.

You can use however much you want depending on how full you want the flower to be. I used 3 inch wide bias strips, and I think it was a bit less than a yard.
Gather your strip along one long edge, then roll the strip up along the gather. The tighter you gather, the fluffier your flower will be. You can either roll it up like you would your measuring tape, or you can lay it flat and lay it in a spiral. I made this as a spiral.
Hand sew the strips together; I also sewed a circle of green fabric to my flower to cover the raw edges on the bottom. To attach the hair tie and the button I used upholstery thread, and sewed straight down through the center of the flower to loop through the hair tie, then back up to loop through the button; repeat until it feels secure, then tie it off.
I made a few of these before I managed one I really liked, so feel free to play and experiment.
