Fold a denim circle in half with the good side of the fabric facing in (Image 1). Apply a dot of glue to the middle of the folded denim, and fold again. Press and hold until adhered (Image 2). Repeat these steps, leaving a denim circle untouched for every five petals you make (Image 3).

Apply a dot of glue to the bottom left of a denim circle (Image 1). Press a denim petal onto the glue until it adheres to the denim circle (Image 2). Repeat this step for the bottom right, top right and top left and lastly, the center, until the denim circle is covered with denim petals (Image 3). Repeat these steps to make enough denim flowers to cover your wreath form (Image 4).
