Sara Monica LLC is an artisan studio that makes handmade fabric flowers, made with vintage tools, for any purpose or occasion.

I am an artisans hand making these flowers for you in my private studio of Sara Monica Flower Crafts in Dunellen, NJ. Each flower is made to order. I start from the preparation of the fabrics, by stiffening them in fabric stiffeners, then hanging them to dry. The fabrics are then folded, cut and stacked, right side up, eight layers high to be prepared to be die cut. Then the petals are die cut with custom made dies (cutting tools) to the shape of the petals. The dies (cutting tools) look like heavy duty and super sharp cookie cutters. At this point the petals are still very flat cutouts. To get their curves I place the petals in either heated custom made bronze flower petal molds or heated antique bronze flower petals molds. The heat from the mold technically "irons" the shape into the petal. So sometimes these flower molds are also known as "flower irons". After that, I glue the petals as layer into the shape of a flower. Once the flower is finished, I place a backing onto the flower for it's intended purpose. And then I package them into little boxes to protect them during shipping so they arrive to you in good condition. Each flower comes with "Flower Care Instructions".
