These DIY suede flowers make a perfect embellishment for any fashion accessory.

I made two different-sized suede flowers. The smaller suede flower measures about 2 inches in diameter. The larger suede flowers measure about 3.25 inches in diameter.

These flowers took minutes with a little extra for drying. I used E6000 to glue everything since it forms a strong bond to suede and plastic. You can also use faux suede or faux leather!

There are so many ways to use these cute DIY suede flowers. Use different beads to match your accessories or make them as gifts for family and friends.
