DIY: Felt Flowers

How cute are these felt flowers?

They are SUPER simple (and cheap!) to make and you can do countless things with them.  All you need to create this flower is:

• 1 sheet of felt (your color choice)
• Scissors
• Pen
• A round object for tracing
• Hot glue gun

Step 1: Trace out 6 circles onto the felt.

I used the big end of a coffee cup to make these and ended up with about a 4″ flower.  Then, flip the cup over and cut a smaller circle; you’ll adhere your flowers petals to this smaller circle.

Step 2: Cut out all of your circles.

Step 3: Fold your circles in half, like a taco.  (Yummmm….tacos….)

Step 4: Place a decent sized dot of hot glue in the bottom middle of your taco.

Step 5: Fold your felt taco in half again and pinch it at the bottom.  Allow the glue to dry completely.

You’ll end up with a twirly, cone shape.  Cute, yes?  This is your first petal.  Repeat this with all six of your big circles.

Step 6: Glue four of your petals onto the small circle.

It should look like this once all four are glued on.

Step 7: Put a well of hot glue in the middle of these four petals. 

Step 8: Add the two remaining petals (standing up as opposed to flat) to the center of the flower.

Seriously, aren’t these the cutest?!  You can do sooooo much with them!  I added these guys to a cute frame project I’m working on.

You can make them into name tags, necklaces, package decor – anything you can think of!  If you decide to give these a whirl, let me know what you make with them!
