I'm in college and doing an art project for one of my courses. i need to make a veil out of flower petals and I was wondering if anyone has tried sewing rose petals together. I have been thinking about it and I think that fresh rose petals would not be too difficult to sew, but I am not sure if I should then let them dry, or if I should somehow preserve them. The project is due in a month, but I have to be working on it in class this whole time so I cant wait until the end to make it. Any suggestions would be really appreciated!
Can Flower Petals be sewn?
Flower petals get crumbly as they dry. Could you sew them onto tulle and then let them dry? Use a needle made for fine fabric. Try a small section first and see what works.
Reply:perhaps try silk flowers? you would need to preserve the rose petals, and I am not sure how long it would take to preserve the real ones, and have them maintain their flexibility.
Reply:Yes, if you had been watching Project Runway on Bravo t.v. you would have seen the designers making dresses with flowers.
One designer glued the petals/leaves on some material
good luck
