Thanks for all your kind comments about my frustration over my SD card. Sounds like I’m not the only one that’s lost photos when a card committed suicide. I’ve got a new card, and my card reader is working again, so we’re back in business! Hooray!
I’m on a flower making kick lately. Maybe because everything outside is dead or covered in snow. Since I can’t see any flowers when I look out my window, I’m filling my house with them. And as a bonus, handmade flowers don’t need water, so even I can’t kill them. 😉
These little layered felt flowers are super easy to make, and oh so cute.
I love crafting with felt because it’s easy to work with and the edges don’t fray. I made another felt flower tutorial last year, and I still love it, but this one is even easier. Ready for the super simple instructions?
Layered Felt Flower Tutorial
Supplies:
-felt
-sturdy thread and needle
-tiny beads
-sharp scissors
Instructions:
-Cut a tiny little round-ish shape. I think they look much cuter if they aren’t perfect circles, so you don’t even need a pattern.
-Take the piece you just cut and place it on top of another scrap of felt. Use it as a guide to cut your second layer slightly larger.
-Repeat the process till you have the size of flower you want. Mine are 5 layers.
-Stack all your pieces together and sew a few beads on top. The stitching holds everything in place and adds a little bling all at the same time.
After you have them finished, you can use them on just about anything. I added them to a Valentine’s day banner (that I will be sharing tomorrow), and I’ve made them into cute little hair clips. Just line an alligator clip with ribbon and hot glue them on top. You can even add a few leaves if you want. Here are a few I’ve made:
I found a photo of Rachel wearing one last summer. So cute!!
what kind of felt do you use?
How adorable! What an easy craft and they turn out so cute. Thanks for posting that tutorial.
Those are so cute! I love the look of felt. Rachel is adorable! I bet she’s getting so big.
