- Amass your crafting supplies and tools. Download the daffodil flower pattern from below to get started. You may also embellish your arrangement with some felt greenery!
- With the help of your Cricut Maker or scissors, cut out the felt in the prescribed pattern. Use scissors to fringe the stamen (see pattern).
- Wrap the 18-gauge floral wire with glue at the end.
- On the top edge of the corona piece, use pinking shears. Use scissors to file down the cut ends.
How should felt flowers be made?
Choose the color you want your flower to be in the first phase. I really like using colorful felt for this!
Take the felt sheet that you intend to use for the petals of your felt flowers, which measures 812 inches.
It should be cut into four equal 2 x 12 inch strips and should be oriented with the longest side towards you.
It’s not necessary for these cuts to be completely straight because the edges will end up becoming the bottom sides of the felt flower. I simply fold the felt in half, then cut along the fold, never even measuring these.
Once more folding it lengthwise, glue the two longest sides of the felt strip together. In the video, this process is really apparent.
The petals can now be cut. Start by making a series of tiny openings that are between a quarter and a third of an inch apart on the felt tube’s unglued side.
You decide how far apart these cuts should be. I’ve discovered that smaller is preferable, but you don’t want them to be absurdly little.
You want the piece to remain intact as a whole. The end result should be a strip of tiny loops.
Once more, the video makes this step of creating felt flowers very apparent.
The strip will then be rolled and adhered together to create the felt flower.
Roll your felt tube tightly together after applying a tiny dab of glue along the seam where it is linked to the other end.
For a more polished appearance, I typically cover the felt flower’s end seam with the leaf.
These felt flowers can be transformed into a variety of items. In order to finish this project, I simply attached a magnet on the back.
Check your freshly made felt flower for any strings of hot glue that may still be attached, and then carefully peel them off.
These tiny gifts of felt flowers are wonderful. They can also be used for a variety of other things, such as headbands, wreaths, or in place of bows on gifts!
How can felt be used to create flower petals?
You can use your circles to make the petals. From the outer edge to the center of the circle, cut the felt. Place glue or stitches where the circle overlaps at the cut to create a shallow cone. To create cute miniature flowers, arrange your petals in circles that overlap one another.
Step 4: Glue down the ends
Put a dab of glue on the strip’s end and hold it there until it is fixed.
Using a glue gun is effective, but if you’re making this activity with young children, use caution since the glue might burn fingers when it gets hot.
Step 5: Glue on your stalk
Apply a thin layer of adhesive to the back of the flower, then insert the pipe cleaner stalk.
Instead, you can use glue to attach a safety pin to the back of your flower to create a brooch.
Step 6: Your flower is ready
Trim any too long ends before gently fluffing out and arranging the tiny felt strips.
