Cute felt flowers just seem to call my name! I guess because they are so easy to make and felt is super inexpensive. I had a bunch of felt leftover from previous projects, so I decided to cure my boredom by making a few felt flowers. If you would like to make your own one day, here's what you'll need...
Glue 4 of the folded circles around the larger piece of felt, with the round sides out and the ends touching.
Glue 4 more petals on top of the bottom layer slightly overlapping each petal, creating a diamond shape.
Glue the remaining 4 petals on top of the last row, slightly moving inward with each end overlapping the other, creating a small square.
-felt circles, about 14- 1 inch and 1- 1.5 inch
-glue gun
-2 felt leaves
-pom-pom for the center
Glue each of the smaller felt circles in half.
Pinch the 2 remaining petals in half and glue the bottom of petal in the center of the circle.
*Place each petal in the center of the flower as if they're facing each other. Be sure to leave a small opening for the pom-pom.
Turn the flower over and glue the leaves on the back of the larger piece of felt.
Lastly, glue the pom-pom in the center of the flower!
If you like, you can attach a pin to the back of the flower and wear them on your clothing
...or attach a few to lampshade.
You can have fun and use them to embellish anything that you like!
Let me know if you decide to make any. I'd love to hear from you.
Those are so cute, such a fun idea for hairbows too:)
ReplyDeleteThey are so pretty Brandi, so many uses...Love them!
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable but I have to admit I will probably never make any! I'm pinning them anyway just in case. :o)
ReplyDeleteNo, I just like watching you make them. Call it a fetish! Now go organize something to put me over the edge.

Great project Brandi - love them on the lamp shade! They'd make good hair accessories for little girls too. Or me. If I was feeling adventurous.
ReplyDeleteThose are super cute! I have some extra felt left over from making coffee cozies and this would be a perfect project for them!

Those are adorable! Felt flowers are just so super cute. :)
ReplyDeleteI've seen several tutorials for felt flowers and by far yours looks the easiest to do. Great tutorial!! I've had my eye on a lamp that I want to do but haven't found the color felt that I want to use for the flowers yet. When I find the felt I'll be making some felt flowers like you did. They are just too cute! Visiting from TT&J party.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute. What a great tutorial. Loving your blog! Thanks for posting your comment on Musings of an Imperfect Mom.
ReplyDeleteHi Brandi Love your tutorial for the felt flowers, definitely an easier one than others I've seen. I'll be making alot of these for different uses pretty soon. Just subscribed to your blog. Found it thru another blog with the jar dyeing technique.

Very pretty felt flowers. Have seen so many on blogland but think your version is one of easiest. Have to cut out all those circles but can do that while I watch the tube.
ReplyDeleteSure glad you shared this, I'll be making several of these with felt in my stash. Hope mine turn out as great as yours which are fantastic. Happy summer
this is so cute and when I saw the title of your blog- my mind instantly went to that song- I used to love it to!!!
