Handmade sewing storage box tutorial:
Preparation materials: mini flower pots (disposable paper cups can be used), some colored non-woven fabrics, hot melt glue, rulers, markers, needles and thread, and cotton.
Step 1: Use a ruler to measure the spacing and length of the petals, and use a marker to mark the position and length. The Korean experts here use a spacing of 1.3cm. The long side of the petals and the mouth of the mini flower pot can be the same length.
Step 2: Use scissors to cut out the petals. When cutting, pay attention to: cut the arc from the middle to the top of the petal to make it smooth; when cutting the petals, cut to the bottom and leave 0.5cm, no need to cut.
Step 3: Make green leaves with twice the spacing between petals, that is, a spacing of 2.6cm. Keep a spacing of 1.3cm between green leaves. Treat the green leaves like cutting petals. The length is also the same as the side length of the mini flower pot. That’s it.
Step 4: Use a mini flower pot and stick the green leaves to the mouth of the mini flower pot with hot melt glue and wait until it dries. After the hot melt glue dries, cover the petals with hot melt glue and stick the green leaves to the mouth of the flower pot. You need to glue two layers of petals to make the petals fuller. You can also make the innermost petal shorter according to your preference to make the flower more layered. When gluing, be careful to stick the green leaves and petals in staggered positions.
Step 5: Cut out a piece of soft fabric, cut it into a circle, and sew the edges of the fabric with needle thread to create a telescopic opening. When making the telescopic opening, pay attention to that the thread used for retracting and unfolding is thicker than usual, otherwise it will break easily. Fold the thread in half and put a needle hole through it to make the thread thicker.

Step 6: Stuff cotton into the middle of the round fabric. After stuffing, tighten the opening, tie the thread to fix the opening to prevent the cotton from being exposed, and then apply hot melt glue to the ball. Pay attention to filling the space when stuffing cotton. If the cotton is exposed, you can use the tip of a pen or scissors to stuff the cotton into the ball.
Step 7: Stuff the cotton ball into the mini flower pot and stick it tightly until dry. When stuffing, put the cotton ball into the bottom of the flower pot and stick the cotton ball tightly to the bottom of the flower pot.
