How To Make Felt Flowers
Step 1:
Select a color for the felt fabric and cut it into a round shape. Cutting the felt fabric into a round shape makes it easier to trace the spiral pattern from the template on it.
Step 2:
You can skip to step 3 if you are using the template. You can also do a free hand cutting of the pattern. Cut the round felt into a spiral pattern if you’re going for the free hand cutting and then cut the scallop pattern along the border. Start cutting the scallop pattern from the outer edge of the spiral felt.
Step 3:
If you want to use the template, simply print and cutout the spiral pattern from template, and trace the template pattern on the round cutout felt and cut accordingly.
Step 4:
Use 2 different coloured felt fabrics to trace the 2 other fringed patterns from the template. I used yellow felt for the large fringed pattern and black felt for the small fringed pattern.
Step 5:
Take the spiral cutout pattern from step-3 and start to roll it from the outer edge. Keep coiling the spiral pattern until reaching the center.
Step 6:
Apply a small amount of fabric glue on the center part of the pattern once done coiling.
Step 7:
Glue the coiled pattern with the center to secure it. You can use fabric glue or hot glue as you wish.
Step 8:
Take the black fringed felt piece and roll it. Now take the yellow fringed pattern and roll it around the black rolled fringe.
Step 9:
Apply a small amount of glue at the bottom of the rolled fringed pieces and place them in the centre of the spiral flower. Push the fringed pieces inside the center of the spiral flower, making sure it touches the center of the flower.
Step 10:
Finally, glue a small faux pearl bead into the center of the fringed centrepiece.
