Place a drop of hot glue in the center of the flowers, then press them onto the pillowcase. Draw a line of hot glue down the center of each leaf, and press them onto the pillowcase too. Put the pillowcase back on once the glue dries. The petals of the flowers and the edges of the leaves will stick out realistically. Hot glue buttons or yellow felt circles to the center of each flower for a nicer touch. If you don't want to use hot glue, you can use fabric glue instead. Iron the fusible web interfacing to the back of your desired fabric. Trace the shapes you want onto the interfacing, then cut them out. Remove the pillowcase, then pin the shapes interfacing-side-down to the pillowcase. Iron the shapes, remove the pins, then reinsert the pillow.
