How To Make Rolled Felt Flowers

Happy Tuesday! Here in Canada we just had a long weekend for Victoria Day & I also celebrated my 25th birthday on Saturday. So it's extra-hard getting back into the swing of things today, especially since it's raining outside & the forecast has rain for the rest of the week, too!

I have had some comments and emails asking me to do a tutorial on how I made the felt flowers in THIS POST, so I am happy to help out!

Let's get started!




First, you start off with a long piece of felt, the longer the piece the larger the circumference of the flower will be. The width will determine the height of the flower since the piece will be folded in half.




Add of line of glue with your glue gun, then fold the felt over.





Next, cut snips on the folded side using your scissors. You can do the cuts close together or far apart & each one will alter the look of your flower.




Then you just start rolling it.....






Add a dab of glue when you get to the end...




Then you can cut out a circle of felt to go at the bottom. This is where you can add felt "leaves" if you so choose.




Then you're done!




For a different look, you can do diagonal cuts all the way down...



That till give you a flower that looks like this...




Repeat the flower making process again & again, cause they are super-easy to create!
