Equipment

  • Hot glue gun (low heat)
  • A pencil
  • Sharp pair of scissors

Ingredients

  • Felt in different colors approx 8×12
  • Round-shaped guide for perfect circles. I used a dish LOL

Instructions

1. SIMPLE FELT ROSETTE 1 COLOR

  • Start by tracing and cutting a felt circle. I used a soup dish as a guide. LOL.
  • Then with a pen trace a spiral from the edge towards the center.
  • Cut the spiral.
  • Starting at the outer end of the felt strip, fold the tip inwards and roll it on itself to secure well. You can use hot glue if you want to make sure it’s secure.
  • Start rolling up from the folded end. Place the rolled end upside down between your thumb and middle finger, roll it and add glue periodically till the whole flower is formed.
  • Place the rolled end upside down between your thumb and middle finger, roll it till the whole flower is formed.
  • Once your flower is rolled and ready, apply a generous amount of glue to the back and affix the small circle that you got at the inner end. Press them together well.
  • Cut any leftovers from the back cover.
  • There you go! You won’t get anything easier than this!
  • You can make variations of this flower. Wave along the edge of the circle and then the spiral to create a more Rose look.

2. FELT ROSSETTE WITH A CUTE CENTER

  • Repeat the 2 first steps from the previous rosette but this time let’s try making the spiral without tracing it with the pencil.
  • Then cut a piece of felt 1 1/4” wide by any length (depending on how big you want your flower, I used 6-Inches).
  • Fold it in half lengthwise.
  • Cut little slits into the folded part of the felt.
  • You can create different effects on this part by varying how wide you cut the slits.
  • Roll your flower center up from one end (you can glue it along the way) till you like the size of the center.
  • Then cut out the tip of the outer end, insert it between the folded end of your center and roll it securing it well between your fingers. You can use hot glue if you want to make sure it’s secure.
  • Place the rolled end upside down between your thumb and middle finger, roll it till the whole flower is formed.
  • Once your flower is rolled and ready, apply a generous amount of glue to the back and affix the small circle that you got at the inner end. Press them together well.
  • Cut any leftovers from the back cover if needed.

3. EASY LOOPY FELT FLOWER:

  • I made my own version of a daisy. White center, yellow petals. You can create them in any way you love.
  • Cut a piece of felt 3 1/4” wide by any length (depending on how big you want your flower, I used 25-Inches long).
  • Fold it in half lengthwise.
  • Cut little slits into the folded part of the felt towards the edge.
  • Here again, you can create different effects on this part by varying how wide you cut the slits or even cut the slits at different angles for the petal shapes.
  • Repeat this process with a piece of felt 1 1/4” wide by any length (depending on how big you want your center, I used 5-Inches long).
  • Roll your center up from one end (you can glue it along the way if you feel more comfortable) till you like the size or until the end.
  • Once you are happy with the size, glue the end to make sure it stays.
  • Right where the center ends, start rolling your flower up from one end and aligned to the base of the center until you are satisfied with the size or until the end of your piece.
  • Glue the end to secure it.
  • Cut a circle of felt large enough to cover the back of your flower.
  • Apply a generous amount of glue to the back and affix the circle. Press them together well.
  • The cute yellow felt flower is finished
  • With this method, if you remove the white center and change the color you could get felt carnations or felt chrysanthemums.

MAKING THE FELT LEAVES.

  • Take a piece of green felt and hand-draw 2 curvy lines one against the other making sure the ends meet. On one of the ends make a small shape of a twig.
  • Draw and cut a few of these.
  • Using cardboard or another piece of green felt attach in a bunch of flowers and leaves as you like the best.
  • Imagination is the limit for your composition and color combinations of a cute bouquet.
