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!

easy felt flowers {tutorial}

One day I decided I was going to make up some felt flowers. I sat down at the table with some felt, a pair of scissors, and my glue gun. This is what I came up with.....

Let's get started!

1. Gather your supplies...



2. Cut out 6 circles that are roughly the same size...

3. One of your circles will be the base of the flower. Take another circle & fold it in half, and then in half again...

4. Add a little line of hot glue...


5. Then add your folded circle, folded edge down. Press down slightly to make sure it's attached enough...


6. Attach another circle the same way, but on the opposite side...

7. Then add the 3rd and 4th circles to fill in the spaces...


8. Let your flower puff out a bit...

9. Pinch the last circle in the middle and use a dab of glue to attach it to the centre of your flower...

10. Use a few dabs of glue to make the petals stay together the way you want...

11. Then repeat and make some more! These are terribly simple and quick to make. And you can add then to just about anything!!


Happy creating!
