Felt Flowers

As promised a few months ago (yes, I know, but my life has been anything but tame lately), here's the tutorial for making felt flowers. 

Felt Flowers
Materials:
- Felt
- Scissors
- Hot glue

1. Cut out 4 of the same shaped flowers, about 1" diameter each. I apologize that I don't have a template to share, but I do most of my shapes freehand.


2. Place a dot of glue into the center of a flower and fold it in half. Do this for all 4 flowers.





3. Lay one flower with the flat side pointing down, then place a dot of glue on the flat edge, in the center. Lay another flower down, flat side facing to the left, flowered part facing right and overlapping with the first flower. Place another dot of glue on top of where the flowers overlap, then place the third flower over top of the glue, with the flat side facing up, flower side down. Place another dot of glue in the center and place the last flower on top of the third flower. Tuck the top end underneath of the first flower. It should look like a closed box lid.
(Terrible pic, I'll take a better one next time I make some!)

4. Fluff out the petals from the center after the glue dries. If you're adding a hair clip or sewing the flower onto a headband, now is the time to do it!


The possibilities for these super easy flowers are endless! I grouped some together to make a patriotic headband for baby bear!
