I’ve been having a little bit of a crush on felt and I’ve been using it like CRAZY!
Maybe because it is cheap? Or just easy to work with?
Not sure but those are two of my favorite things especially when it comes to crafts, cheap and easy.
Well I have another felt flower for you! But this time I added it to a clip instead of a headband.
It could also easily be used as a broach. Maybe a cute alternative for a a corsage?
Either way I’m excited about this!
You will need:
Felt
Scissors
Bead(s) for the middle
Clip
Hot Glue
Sewing Machine (Optional, I used a sewing machine)
First start off with 5 felt circles. Mine were about 1.5 inches in diameter.
Next mark the center with a marker. (You can barely see mine, it’s orange)
Fold each circle in half.
Then sew from the center mark to the outside, about 1/4 inch from the fold.
I used a sewing machine because it create a nice clean straight line. However, you can simply use a little bit of glue on the inside. Be careful and don’t add very much, so you can be sure to create as straight of a line as you can.)
Next cut off the extra felt.
Do this to all of the 5 circles.
Next of the backside of the circle, right next to the seam, add a small amount of glue to the very edge of the circle.
Attach it to another circle in the same spot, the two seams should line right up.
This is what it should look like on the other side.
Now add the glue in the same spot to the next circle, and attach to the other two. Continue for all 5 circles.
Then glue the last and the first circles together. It’ll form a circle of circles and will look something like this before you flatten them.
But since the glue it just on the edges of the circles, push down the center and then get a beautiful flower!
Next cut one more circle, the same size and add some glue.
Attach it to the bottom of the flower so that the flower will stay open and full.
Next get the beads that will work for the center of the flower.
I also thought of using a cute button, but in the end thought this was more of what I wanted.
Add some glue…
And attach the beads!
Now for the clip.
Turn back over, and add some glue.
Attach the clip.
I put some wax paper in between so that the glue wouldn’t seep through and glue shut the clip.
And Finished!
