Felt Flower Tutorial

I have had people asking me to post a tutorial for this felt flower brooch for a while, and I finally got around to making one.  This time I made a yellow one & I really like how it turned out.

 This glittered felt flower is not too hard to make. It's a really great idea to give as a gift, and it fits perfectly into an origami box made with 12in x 12in paper. :)  This project turned out to be difficult to photograph, so I drew it for you. 

You need:

•  glue gun
• felt
• one pearl bead
• glitter
• fastener/brooch pin

_____________________

Step one 

• Cut 5 of each size of petal, large, medium and small. (Cut 5 extra large petals to make flower more full.)
• Cut one circle
• cut one scalloped piece

 

______________________

Step two

Glitter each petal and the scalloped piece

 Step three

• Cut middle of each petal almost half way up
• Fold and glue one side to the other
• Repeat till all petals are shaped

 

_____________________________

Step four

• Glue the largest petals to your circle first
• Glue medium  petals on top of large then small etc...

_______________________ 

Step five

•  Roll the scalloped piece and glue to center of flower
• glue pearl into middle of rolled scalped piece

 Finally attach  brooch pin to the back

And you're done!
