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 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!
If you use the “remaining” 1/4 piece of felt,
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 😉

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!)
Cristina Garay says
