You may want to reconsider placing a burlap flower on a silk blouse. Hold a piece of burlap up to the material you want to use it on and make sure they match. Sometimes bigger isn't always better so make sure you are sizing your flowers appropriately for your project. Fabric that is one and a half inches wide by 30 inches long, or about four centimeters by seven and a half decimeters, is a good size to start with. The longer strips of burlap you use the more petals you'll have. Place hot glue on the bottom of the flower and along the sides to ensure it is fully contained. Cover the bottom with a felt center and hold both pieces together, until the hot glue is dry and set.
