To construct the flower, I needed the following: a small piece of leatherette, scissors, threads in the color of leatherette, a cardboard template in the shape of a petal and a button (for the middle of the flower).

Armed with such simple objects, I begin needlework:
Using a template, I draw five petals and one small circle on leatherette.
I cut out the drawn figures.

Using a thread and a needle, I string the bottom edge of each of the five petals, placing them one on top of the other.
Then, turning the strung petals over, I tighten the thread tightly and tie it into 2-3 knots (so as not to unravel).
I turn over and straighten the petals.

Next, I thread a thread and a needle through the center of the circle (from the wrong side), then through the middle of the flower, and sew on a button as its center.

The result was quite an interesting flower made from improvised materials.
And if you attach a pin to the underside of the flower, you can use the fruit of my labors as a brooch.
