Okay.
I. am. obsessed.
But it’s calorie free…
and I can drive after I do it so,
it’s all good!
Right?
It’s a Felt Flower Fiesta!
It all started when
I tried my hand at making a few
flowers to embellish my Valentine Mantle.
You can check it out Valentine Mantle and Felt Flowers here.
Well…
That was all it took…
I was hooked!
These are the sweetest little things.
They are so Cute
&
Easy to make.
~What a Perfect Combo~
(trio actually, they are CHEAP too)
I Love Them.
I have played around a bit
and I have made three different styles now.
and I have made three different styles now.
The original “Rose” shape,
a pretty pink flower with “Petals”,
and a zingy “Mum”.
Come on girls…
~Grab Some Felt, Scissors & Glue~
Lets make something!!
Below are Steps 1, 2, 3 & 4.
The larger the felt, the larger the flower.
If you use the 9 x 6 piece (without further cutting) you will get the flower shown at the end of the photos.
Step #5
Step #5
Step #6
Step #7
Step #8
Next, add glue and get rolling!
Once You Reach The End
The Flower Is Complete!
{and I just realized I need a manicure. STAT}
Yep, It’s THAT Easy
If you use the “remaining” 1/4 piece of felt,
you get a lil’ mini~mum like this.
If you want to finish the back, I’ll show you an easy way to do that too!
After gluing on a felt square. Begin by holding the bottom scissor blade upright and flat against the base of the flower and following the curve all the way around. It makes a perfect cut.
{and a tiny leaf too!}
Hope you enjoyed
stopping by to “smell” the flowers 
Stop Back Soon!

Well Shannon…we must be on the same page with these felt flowers. I have went a little nuts here as well with them. But I am loving the “mum” and will try to make some tomorrow. Ijust got my mess cleaned up…
I love these and I think I could make one! Thanks for the tutorial! Calorie free, I’m in. I can smell the flowers!

yay a SIESTA!!!! oh wait? you said FIESTA!! I guess I will stay awake for this!! They are so cute! I have not been this excited to buy felt since I was a kid. I can see even doing some fun orange colored ones for the summer and easter…..OHHH you got me started on something. Can’t wait to see how to make the rest.
Have a BEAUTIFUL day.

You are becoming queen of tutorials! I already knew how to make the roses in your last post, which by the way, sent me into a rose making frenzy. I copied you and made them in pink, red & cream using every spare minute I had. See what you do to me? lol
I didn’t know how to make the mums, so now I know I’ll have to try these too. Thanks for being a troublemaker!
Awesome tutorial!! Thanks for sharing!! I love the pretty mum, especially.
Thanks for linking up!
I love these flowers – cute and so easy! I’ll definitely be back for the petal flower tutorial. I’d love to make a bunch of these for my nursery. Thanks for sharing!
I’m so excited! I think this is a craft I can actually do! Time to break out my hot glue gun and visit Joann’s!! My son recently moved to NC (I’m in Virginia) and vacated two bedrooms, an upstairs den and a bathroom. That upstairs den is turning more into my sewing room every day – just a few more boxes and it will be ready for paint! Hurry up with the next post!!!! Thanks so much Shannon – I really enjoy your blog!
Shannon, those are incredible! I love it, love it……LOOOOOVE IT! Can’t wait to see the petal style!
Great tutorial! The roses are gorgeous!

I love this!! So sweet, thanks for sharing!
These are adorable Shannon! You did a great job.
Beautiful and amazingly clear directions, Shannon! Bravo!!
Shannon, the flowers are so pretty. I have some felt and may have to give it a try! The tutorial is perfect. I can see every step of the way. Thank you for sharing it.
I love all of these flowers very nice. Thanks for entering the One Crafty Contest, xoxo
These look fantastic! I keep seeing those mums and really wanting to make some, but didn’t know how; thanks for the great, clear tutorial! So glad you entered One Crafty Contest!
Your pictures didn’t show up for me. I am so sad. Those are the cutest felt roses! I am visiting from the One Artsy Mama Craft Contest. I am a new follower! I hope you will drop by http://www.garagesalesrus.blogspot.com/ and do the same!

Going to have to make some of these for hairclips for Kate…too cute!

I just saw your pool wreath tutorial which is great! but I needed to check the flower tutorial too! Thanks Shannon! I’m going to give them a try!
I am in love with all of these flowers! Thank you for the tutorial! I’m curious – what type of felt did you use? That might be a dumb question, but I know that there is the cheapie stuff at Hobby Lobby, Michaels, etc. and then there’s more expensive felt… I wondered if it made a difference since I have a buttload of the cheap stuff I sure hope not!
(Love the pool noodle wreath too! That’s how I came here originally!)
