Instructions
1. Cut two circles from the craft foam using a punch, or trace around something (I used a mason jar lid) and add scallops by hand. Approximately 2.5-3 inch diameter.
2. Cut two circles from buckram about 2 inches in diameter using a punch or tracing around a smaller circular item. You could also use a circle compass tool.
3. Cut from edge to center point. To find the center, Fold buckram circle in half, then in half again.

10. Glue buckram circle onto back of foam with hot glue, overlapping it about ¼ inch. I find it's easiest to glue one half and then the other.
11. Secure flowers to front of pasties with hot glue.
12. Embellish with rhinestones (use strong glue) or fabric paint. Make sure to let glue and/or paint dry undisturbed for 24 hours.
