Add sequins and/or beads to the front of the flower for the center. This not only adds additional pizazz, but it will hide where you attached the petals together.

Optional step: If you'd like some extra stability, cut a quarter-sized circle from some cardstock. Then, using the brooch pin as a guide, cut 2 small notches at either end and insert over the pin heads as shown in the photos. Glue circle to the pin using fabric glue or a hot glue gun.

To cover up your stitches and make the back neater and more attractive, cut a circle, about quarter-sized, or slightly larger (if you're doing the optional step). Using the brooch pin as a guide, cut 2 small notches at either end and insert over the pin as shown in the photos. Glue or sew this onto the back of the flower. If you sew it, make sure your stitches don't show up on the other side.
