- 1). Gather your supplies. Get a thick piece of cardboard from a large corrugated box or other object. Make sure it's large enough to cut out petals and a round center for the flower. Also, gather up yellow and black fabric, enough to cover the center and petals. The fabric can be any material, but it should be thick enough to make sure no cardboard peeks through.
- 2). Sketch and cut your flower. Sketch a large circle on the cardboard. Also sketch at least 10 long, skinny triangles that come to a tapered point and support a fat base that will be attached to the back of the flower's center. Cut out your shapes with scissors or a pen knife.
- 3). Cover the shapes in fabric. Lay each shape on the piece of fabric that will cover it, and cut around the shape, leaving about a 1/2-inch border. Slather a craft glue on the front of the shape and along the borders on the back. Place the shape glue-side down on the fabric, folding the 1/2 inch around the back. Allow time for it to dry thoroughly.
- 4). Attach the petals and hookthem to the center. Apply glue to the base of the petals and back of the flower's centers. Arrange each petal in place around the back border. Glue a picture hook to the back in the center of the back near the top border. Place a heavy object on top of the hook and petals to secure them in place until the glue dries.
- 5). Hang and admire. Once the glue is thoroughly dry, hang your sunflower by hooking it on a nail or hook you've secured to the wall. Attach wire from the hook to the wall if you need some slack.
