Chrysanthemum Pillow

Chrysanthemum pillow by H is for Handmade- granted this is for an adventurous craft mom if you wanted to tackle this with a group of girls.  Most likely, a simplified version would be a better fit for a group. 

Ideas: Precut petals glued without the folding (although the folds give the flower a gorgeous dimensionality...).  Fewer petals? A smaller version would yield a less expensive project with less time needed.  The petals could be glued to a jar lid for an ornament.
