Seeing that I have two boys, I like to mix things up every once in awhile and make some girly stuff. The other day, I decided to try to make some felt roses. I could not believe how simple and fun they were to make. There are so many fun things you can do with them! I think I may make a wreath out of them, one is spring colors and eventually, a heart shaped wreath covered in red roses. They would be absolutely adorable additions to girls hair clips and headbands!
Before I start, let me apologize for the pictures, it is extremely difficult to take pictures while I am doing something! LOL I have yet to master that skill!
First, start with a square of felt. The larger the square, the larger the rose. As you can see, the square does not have to be perfect.
Cut the 4 corners of the square off to make it a rounded square.
Start at any corner, it doesn't matter which one and cut a spiral pattern. My cutting is completely free hand and is far from even, believe it or not, it makes for a prettier rose. In the middle of your spiral, there will be a small square.
When you get to your little square, you are just about finished.
Glue the square to the bottom of the flower. I prefer hot glue, I think it is the best glue for felt, plus it dries in seconds.
Trim any excess off the square and you are done!
A beautiful felt rose. Now to decide what to use it for!
I just made one following your directions and it was so easy! I'm thinking of putting one on a hairclip!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad! They are so cute, they would look adorable on a hairclip or a headband!
ReplyDeleteSo simple and cute! Making felt flowers has been on my long list of things to make. So many crafts, so little time.
