Sweet Felt Roses~Tutorial

I've been making a lot of felt flowers lately!

My friends keep asking how I make the cute

little roses, so I thought I'd share this

with YOU too!

They're very easy, it's also a GREAT way to use up

some of my felt scraps!  Believe me, if there's a way

to simplify a pattern, I'll find it!!!

What you'll need:

• scissors
• assorted felt colors for flowers (green for leaves)
• Tacky glue (or glue gun)
• a CD (for pattern)
• skewers (for flower stems)
• buttons (to embellish with)
• glitter

1. I don't take time to trace, I just cut around the CD.

 Notice it's not totally perfect...(it's okay, REALLY)!

2. I cut aprox. a 1/2 inch spiral all the way around,

until I get a small circle about the size of a quarter!

3. Now the fun begins!

4. Start with the point of the spiral, and tightly

wind it around and around, keeping the bottom

flat, the top will be a little bit looser.

5. Wound tight and the bottom is flat!

6. I place the tacky glue right on the flower, and use my finger

to smear it over the flower evenly, then I place the round

bottom piece over it and press down tight!

It will look like a lot like this!!!

Now, this is when I stick the skewer inside.

it's kind of hard to make the hole, just

make sure it's in the center, and use tacky glue

to hold it tight!

Remember I told you, I will ALWAYS

simplify whenever possible...:)

These leaves are the easiest!

No pattern necessary, just cut two leaf

shapes, with a narrow center and tie

them in a knot around the skewer!

Easy peasy!

Now for the fun part!!!

BUTTONS & GLITTER!

I looove how sweet the pearl looks!

Simply adorable!

You can also make other simple felt flowers to add

to your bouquet!

Notice, I've played around with different leaves? I

really think the way I show you up above is the

easiest! :)
