Supplies:

• felt
• scissors
• hot glue gun

Steps:

1. Cut strips of felt, about 1/2 inch wide. The longer the strip, the bigger around the flower will be.

 
2. Lay the strips on top of each other. Then starting at one end, begin rolling the felt into a spiral. Try to keep it as tight as you can.

 

 
3. Once you have rolled the whole thing, apply some glue under the end of the bottom strip and stick it down.

 
4. Then apply glue to the top of the strip and adhere the outside strip. Trim off excess felt.

5. If you want to make the flowers more 3-dimensional, gently push up the center from the back.

 

 

 
6. Cut out a leaf shape. Run a small bead of glue down the center at one end and fold up the sides of the leaf to adhere it.

 

 
7. Now glue the leaf to the outside of the flower. You can add more than one leaf if you want.

 

 
8. Run a small bead of glue along the edges of the flower from the back to keep the flower from coming undone.

9. They look great on their own or glued into clusters. Have fun!

Simple and adorable (and thrifty and fun! ;>) I love how the darker color on the lighter gives the illusion of shadow!

My teen daughter's room is all tea sets and flowers (she loves antique themes). These would be great in a pretty dusty rose or robin's egg blue! (Not to mention how great a little mini-version'd look on a hair clip! Just have to fill the back in with a cotton ball or something to help it adhere, I guess...)
