Tutorial: Felt Rosettes
12th
2010
I am in love with these sweet little things. They are the most simple craft I’ve ever made and cost next to nothing (I think a sheet of felt at Michael’s is about 30 cents), but the finished product has such a big impact.
So easy, even little kids and cavemen can do it.
Supplies
- Craft felt
- Scissors
- Glue (craft or hot glue or whatever you have laying around the house)
Cut smallish squares out of felt (smallish? do you love my precise instructions?)
They fit in the palm of my hand. Is that a better illustration?
This is just to give you an idea of how to cut your felt… you don’t have to literally draw a swirly circle pattern thing on each square. Oh yeah, now cut the felt.
After you cut out the swirly circle pattern thing, take the outside end of your felt circle (it’ll make sense once you’re there) and start rolling it up toward the center. You’re going to do this sort of like how you roll a sleeping bag. If you have never rolled a sleeping bag, you’re just out of luck because I can’t come up with anything better to describe this process. Also, you’re missing out on some joyous times because camping is fun. I’m sorry.
Once you’re finished rolling the felt, dab a little glue to the remaining end and secure it to the bottom of the rosette. This step makes me happy each time I do it because the end of the felt fits perfectly at the bottom of the rosette. Again, you’ll see what I’m talking about when you get there. It’s magical and my OCD appreciates this.
Some more swirly scrappy circle things ready to be rolled like a sleeping bag and magically glued into rosettes. Man, I need to start writing poetry. These things just come to me.
(Hi, I’m corny.)
But really, these rosettes are versatile and can be glued into a little bundle on top of an alligator clip…
Or used as adorable little gift toppers…
Enjoy. :)
Love it! My question is where do you get your alligator clips? I looked at Micheals and couldnt find any :(
on March 12th, 2010 at 6:47 pm
CUTE of course. Obvioussslyyyy. Uh I had something more exciting to say and I totally forgot :( fail.
OH YEAH! Rolling sleeping bags is the worst. Especially the kind that you had to fit back into a SMALL BAG! So mean.
Ps, Justin make my blog awesome?

p.s. i’ll be expecting my birthday present to be coming in a ridiculously cute box like what is shown above, kthxxxxx
on March 12th, 2010 at 9:45 pm
three things:
1) your new blog look is FANtastic and lovely and just perfect for you. Major props to Justin… I am quite impressed!! I love it!!
2) You are just a tad too crafty and talented and witty and funny. It’s making me rather envious. But I’m hopeful that we can remain friends. ;) (iloveyou)
3) I am SO so glad you posted this, because I just bought a ton of felt to make a birthday banner for Rosalie and I have so much left over. Now I know what I shall do with it, because these are the cutest ever.
The end.

WOW – looks awesome and simple! Need to try this one. Thank you for the tutorial! :)
on March 13th, 2010 at 12:43 am
I LOVE this little craft. Definitely pulling out my change collection and running to Michael’s! Thanks!
on March 13th, 2010 at 8:21 am
Miss Blur: You can find them for pretty cheap at Sally’s! That’s usually where I get mine… we have like 15 of those stores here in town, haha.
Heather: That dress is flipping adorable!
on March 13th, 2010 at 9:16 am
Hi, um, these are adorable. I think I’m going to name my unborn child “Mrs Priss” in your honour. Which could be awkward if I have a boy. Maybe “Felt Rosettes.” Actually, that suddenly just started sounding awkward too. I think my brain paused too long between “felt” and “Rosettes” and then wondered “Felt Rosette’s what?”
I think I need a nap. And some rosettes.
on March 13th, 2010 at 1:14 pm
These are to die for! I’m going to have to make some now :) Thanks for the great tutorial!
on March 13th, 2010 at 6:13 pm
These are so cute. I have some felt too, so I think will try these out. Just found your blog from One Pretty Thing. You are funny. I think I’ll be back :)
on March 14th, 2010 at 7:28 am
Hi! I love this tutorial. And you’re so funny. When I read your ‘About The Mrs’, I knew I’ve found a great blog! I’ll come back often ;)
Would you mind if I linked this tutorial to my blog? My readers would LOVE it! Thanks :)
on March 14th, 2010 at 8:46 am
Thanks for the tutorial… I can see many of these in my future… super cute and simple! That is the kind of craft I LOVE!
on March 14th, 2010 at 8:46 am
These are just adorable! I always am on the lookout for something cute and easy to ‘gussy up’ for the this and that I make for my grandaughter. This is perfect! And looks so easy and fun to make! Thanks for sharing!
on March 14th, 2010 at 10:23 am
Those are really fun. I keep picturing them on my little baby girl’s sweater! Or a head band! The possibilities are endless! Thanks for sharing your great ideas!
Love your blog, and your fabulous prissyness!
Off topic…(but I read in your about me…)
PS. I love vintage hankies! At our wedding we hand oodles of vintage hankies so that each female guest could take home their own hankie- and use it for the tears of joy during our ceremony, natch.

These looked so cute and easy that I had to get started right away!
on March 14th, 2010 at 3:13 pm
LOVE IT! So cute and easy to make. Now I have to get a bunch of felt ASAP!
Thanks for the tutorial!
on March 14th, 2010 at 6:02 pm
Oh I meant to say this in the other comment post: other ideas for the felt rosettes can be pins/brooches, pen toppers (glue on top of a pen), and headbands. I’m definitely trying all of the above!
on March 14th, 2010 at 6:04 pm
Toooooo cute. I’ve seen this done in paper, but felt is great!. Thanks for sharing.
on March 14th, 2010 at 7:41 pm

I *love* the little barrette, but I’m SO not all about DIY – guess you’ll have to open an Etsy shop!
on March 16th, 2010 at 6:12 am
Eeek! These are so precious! Love em! And you!
on March 16th, 2010 at 2:29 pm
super cute!! i’ve been crafting with felt like a madwoman lately – making poppy flower hair clips & decor for my little one’s upcoming first birthday party. these little roses are so cute! thanks for the tip! love it!
xo.

on March 23rd, 2010 at 5:45 pm
i love this tutorial and your precise instructions =) i have so much excess craft felt lying around (bought the wrong kind a long time ago to try my hand at other felt crafts that required wool felt) and now i know what to do with it!
on March 30th, 2010 at 1:05 pm

Thanks so much for posting this!

Thanks for this tutorial! I wouldn’t recomend drawing on the felt after the initial one. I drew about ten on yellow felt and now my flowers are wrecked with black smudges all over them :(

Oh, this is just the help I need. I’ve got all the equipment, just lacking in the know-how. :)

Hi
How do the centres stay intact? Do they not pop up after some time?
Do you ever add more glue along the way than just at the end?
Thanks! :)
on February 14th, 2011 at 6:32 pm
Your instructions were hilarious. Your explanation is very much my style. Love it. I can’t wait to make these!

on May 9th, 2011 at 6:20 pm
very cool :D
also, if you start rolling the felt starting with the inside end it makes a slightly different shape, though you dont have that awesome little piece to cover the bottom.
also, if, rather than smooth cuts, the cuts were wavy or some other pattern, it would give the flower a completely different look.
on August 10th, 2011 at 6:39 pm
