Classic Felt Flowers – Tutorial

First of all, I have to give credit where credit is due. This amazing lady inspired me to try my hand at a different type of flower than usual, and I sort of switched it up a little to make it my own. Enjoy!
Now, I know I say this pretty much every time, but I LOVE THESE FLOWERS. I would jump into a big pile of them, roll around, toss them joyfully into the air and have them flutter down all around me, I adore them so much. (I’m weird, but that’s why you love me. Believe that.)
Supplies:
- Felt
- Glue (I used a hot glue gun because I apparently like the excruciating 5 second pain it causes my fingertips, but try whatever you have on hand)
- Center: A cute button, vintage earring, cluster of beads… other ideas?
- Backing: Alligator clip, pin back, headband, etc.
- This is another versatile craft and you can pretty much glue it to anything. Use it as a gift topper, maybe? OMG CUTE.
- Also, notice how I didn’t say ‘needle and thread’?? These little babies are no-sew!
xo!
I love this tutorial!! I should try and make one this summer after I go on a shopping spree to Michael’s.

omgo(r)sh!!! this are so much easier than i thought they might be! the only thing that could make it easier is if you had a pdf of the petal shape for me to copy LOL!! i really love the center button you used, i think i want to try!

Martha Stewart always has a bowl of cold water nearby whenever she uses a hot glue gun. She has mentioned this many times……..just in case hot glue get on her fingers, she dips her fingers immediately into the bowl of cold water. p.s. Love, love this DIY!!
on May 19th, 2010 at 5:19 pm
love it! what a great tutorial.
:)
on May 19th, 2010 at 7:53 pm
I love this tutorial. I have tried it and it is sooooooo easy.
Thanks!
and I also like the way you explain about the glue gun
“Glue (I used a hot glue gun because I apparently like the excruciating 5 second pain it causes my fingertips, but try whatever you have on hand)”
I also like the feel of it :))
on May 19th, 2010 at 11:11 pm
LOVE! Thank you.

These are cute and seem easy enough… BUT where’s the tut for the awesome flower that Miss Madeline was wearing (head band?) in your previous post? Can’t wait to see that one. Thank you for sharing! Great blog.

It looks so goregous! I’ll try to do this. But I’ll sew petals instead of using a glue :) It’s not so important, isn’t it?

Love your tutorials! You make it look so easy, yet I know it takes time and a real gift to create these lovely items. Your color choices are wonderful!

Just used this tutorial to make a fabulous headband. So fun, easy, and adorable. I put a cluster of glass beads and crystals in the center with a folded piece of tulle. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Tiffany! I found that little pendant at Michael’s in the jewelry section, actually! It was so simple to make… I just put it on an old necklace chain and I was good to go. I gave it as a gift or I would definitely have sent it your way… sorry!

I seem to collect cute fabric floral tutes but I have yet to do one. Maybe I’m starting an internet collection. At least this one won’t take up any room.LOL

where did you find such pretty colors of felt? I searched joann’s website and they just had the bright bold colors.
on September 3rd, 2011 at 1:35 pm
@Lynn: I buy all the pretty felt from an Etsy shop called Giant Dwarf. It costs a little more than the regular craft store kind, but it’s SOOO much easier to work with. It’s totally worth the money!
on September 7th, 2011 at 9:09 am
I just stumbled across your blog love it!!!!! You have inspired me I just started my first yarn wreath and love it!
on October 22nd, 2011 at 7:03 pm
This is just so beautiful… The colors and the pattern make the flowers real classy.
on December 4th, 2011 at 8:11 pm
Wow love this! :c)
on December 7th, 2011 at 7:30 am
I love your flowers! so pretty!
on January 7th, 2012 at 2:51 pm
These look absolutely beautiful, but I’m worried about using glue in place of a needle and thread. Will these hold up?
on February 3rd, 2012 at 9:29 am
Meredith, Thank you! They hold up just fine with hot glue! Feel free to hand sew them though. I usually do that when I have more time.
on February 3rd, 2012 at 9:38 am
Can’t wait to make these! So classy looking :o)

Do you just freehand cut the scallops?
I really want to try these.
Thanks!
on March 19th, 2012 at 12:14 pm
Diane: Yes, I just freehand everything. :) Same goes for the rolled flowers you asked about!

These are too cute, Perfect for napkin rings! Any chance you want to share a stencil for the petals (small and big)? Pretty please? I’m a horrible free-hand drawer but these are just so cute… and I even found the buttons.
on April 30th, 2012 at 10:53 pm
Jennifer, thank you so much for the sweet compliment! These would make adorable napkin rings! I’ll work on getting a template up… I know I’ve said that for over a year now, but I promise I will soon!
on May 4th, 2012 at 8:29 am
i love these! thank you so much for sharing and the great tutorial! well done! they would look great on a wool coat or a hat. well no, not a hat. (can you tell me why we dont wear wonderful hats anymore?)
on May 5th, 2012 at 11:55 pm
I loved the tutorial! Very simple and I’m thinking about posting on my blog too. But hey, the small circle is for what? o.o
on June 22nd, 2012 at 7:19 pm
I am all over this! I just got several pairs of earrings at a garage sale yesterday that will be perfect. One for me and one for that other lucky person!
on June 24th, 2012 at 3:48 pm
Nice!!! I will try it!!!

tacky glue does not work :(
