Felt Flowers #2!

Okay, so these are totally different than the felt flowers I have made before, but the common thread is felt!

 What you need:

One or two (depending on your circle size) sheet(s) of felt (like the ones from Michael's or Walmart...not sure what size that is)

Sharp scissors (you can use dull...you'll just regret it, TRUST me)

Pencil

Glue gun (and glue sticks...hey, you can't say I didn't tell ya)

Button

Something circular to trace (cup, ribbon spool, I used a coaster)

Hair clip or pin (depending on what you decide to do with your flower)

So, let's do this! Start by tracing your circles on your felt. You will need 6 larger circles total, and one small circle of  felt. 

Just in case you need to know what 6 circles look like...haha

Take one circle at a time and repeat the following steps for all six larger circles. Fold your circle in half. It should look like a taco, if that helps.

Now, take one of the corners and fold it up to make a triangle shape.

Now, fold the opposite corner behind. You should get an "S" shape.

Do you sssssee it? Good. Now you will need to secure the folded circle by adding some glue at the folds.

I was able to capture this step thanks to the help of my lovely assistant, my sister in law, Sarah.

Okay, now that it is secure, you can attach the triangle to the smaller circle with your glue gun. Repeat with all six circles.

It should look like this.

Almost done! Now you can attach your button. I glued mine on but you can sew it if you like. If you want, you can add a jewel or any other center instead.

Lastly, add your clip or pin and tada!

Gorgeous! And a shout out to my mom in the background. =)

Enjoy!
