(Crafty Tutorial) No-Sew Cutesy Felt Flowers

Has anyone else been wanting to learn how to make those cute felt flowers that can be seen on headbands, wreaths, embellishments on frames, etc.?  I never thought it could be so easy and simple!  So I am here today to show you how to make these very cute flowers.  They don't involve any sewing at all, which is great for me, considering 1) I don't really know how to sew and 2) I don't own a sewing machine!  I hope you enjoy this quick and easy tutorial!

You will need a few things to make these flowers:

• A few sheets of felt (any color you would like, one sheet can make about 4 or 5 flowers depending on how big you want them; I bought my felt sheets at Hobby Lobby where they were 4 for $1.)
• Scissors 
• A marker or pen 
• A CD or something round to trace 
• Hot glue gun 
• Optional: Buttons or gems for embellishment

The first thing to do is to place the CD on the felt and trace around the outside of it. 

Then cut out the circle along the line that you traced.

Then starting anywhere on the outside of the circle, make a cut and continue cutting towards the middle of the circle.  This process reminds me of how you would cut out a snake when you were little.  It is hard to explain but the picture should help.

You will continue to cut towards the middle until you have a small circle left.  You need to keep this small circle at the end to glue onto the bottom of your flower, but more on that in a minute.  Your felt circle should look like the picture below when done cutting.

Next, you will begin from where you first started cutting and roll the felt in your fingers.  You will continue rolling the felt up until you get to the small circle that you left at the end. 

 

Next, you will put a small dab of hot glue in the middle of the bottom of the flower, under that small circle flap and then press the flap down. 

Then, your flower should be complete and ready for whatever project you will use them for!

 

You may choose to add an embellishment to the center of your flower as well.  I had some colorful buttons lying around and used a few for my flowers.

If you are wondering what I am going to do with my felt flowers, stay tuned for tomorrow's post!! I am working on a fun wreath project using these cutesy felt flowers!  I also plan on making some of these flowers to use for headbands since they were so, so EASY! Anyone else make any no-sew flowers lately?? They are uber-easy!
