I'm crazy about these little flowers. The original tutorial can be found on Sew Ritzy's website, but I found out about it through Infarrantlly Creative. Mine are simpler than either of theirs, (which makes it faster to make) and I'm thrilled with the results. I am making them completly out of scraps of fabric and things I already have in the house. I love a really cute project that costs me nothing; it's satisfying to make something out of nothing!
I made one into a pin and stuck it on my red wool pea coat. It looks cute! I put a hair clip onto the second red flower, even though I'm not crazy about flowers in my hair. I wore it to work one day and got a lot of compliments....and I love compliments. 
Here's a couple more I made over the weekend. Both are pins....and probably what I'll send out for the handmade pay it forward. I may try making some with 8 petals, or two layers of petals.
