What you need:
Felt
scissors
glue gun
Okay, I am obsessed with these right now! How cute are they? And OOOooo the possibilities! Okay so first you start with a circle. Any size is fine, the larger the circle, the larger the flower. Feel free to play around with the different sizes. This particular one is about 7". You are going to be cutting it into a spiral shape, so you can draw the spiral on the felt if you wish (I just free style it). I have drawn a spiral on the pic so you get the idea.
Once you have your spiral, you scallop the edges. A sharp pair of scissors makes this process sooo much easier!
Don't forget to leave a circle in the middle like the pictures above. Now that you're done cutting, it's time to get rollin'. Take the outside strip and start rolling it towards you, like a fruit roll up. =) Mmm...sounds yummy right now! Roll it all the way until you reach the inner circle.
Now you cover the flat bottom of your flower with glue and take the inner circle and place it on top of the glue. This holds it all together and gives the flower a nice finished look.
Flip it over and there you have it! You can make different sizes and put them on a headband, hair clip, wreath...you name it! I hope this was helpful, but just in case you don't feel like tackling this one, I do sell them on my fb page. www.facebook.com/peekabowboutique
