How To Make Felt Flowers
In this tutorial I will show you how to make 2 different types of felt flowers and how you can add them to a cushion, make wall art out of them or even wear them as a fashion accessory.
FELT FLOWER SUPPLIES:
- Felt Sheets
- Hot Glue Gun
- Self-Healing Cutting Mat
- OLFA Circle Rotary Cutter
- Scissors (or rotary cutter for straight lines)
- Buttons (or Gemstones for centers)
- Ruler
- Fabric for Wall Art or Cushion Cover
- Headband (If you plan on making a headband for a little girl)
The entire step-by-step video is below, but first I want to make sure you know that you will have to make a lot of cuts, however with the rotary cutters mentioned above, the process goes much quicker.
The first flower will require 2″ felt circles for the petals and a larger circle for the back. The flowers are made with hot glue, and will only require needle and thread if you wish to attach them to a cushion.
The second flower will require 3 different size squares to create the petals. The larger squares are for the outer petals and the smallest go in the center.
Now sit back, grab a cup of tea (or glass of wine) while I show you how to make these felt flowers super quick and super easy! They will look great with some of Pam’s DIY Picture Frames.
Here’s another look at the finished cushion I made for my daughter’s nursery! There are tons of great Felt Projects on FaveCrafts. Go have a look!

Wow,
Fantastic post! Love your felt flowers and manual guide video. Thanks for sharing. I will try at home. I always like DIY home decor ideas and style. Keep it ups and share next once…
Could you please tell me how many circles and squares it took to make one of these flowers? Thank You!!
I think she says how many it takes in the video. Thanks for stopping by!
I think she didn’t!!
I talked to her. You’re right she didn’t! She said she doesn’t know how many she used, but you can look at the photo and count them.
