This was inspired by a tutorial for making felt flowers at the following site:
As I wanted my to be more 3-D with a Dr. Suessish cartoon like quality, I added a milk cap fabric colored button for the center.

1
You start out by main basic yo-yo by starting with a circle. I used a margarine lid and this circle is little over 5 inches in diameter.
-
2
Based close to the edge all the way around and be sure to leave enough thread at the end to be able to pull to gather the stitching - I stitched about 1/2 in from the edge, but for a regular yo-yo you would want to stitch even closer to th edge.
-
3
Gather up the stitching and then flatten out to make a circle.
-
4
Cut small wedges around the edges about 1/2 inch or so apart.
-
5
To make the fabric covered milk cap button use a small glass or can that it about 3 inches around and draw a circle on the felt the same and repeat the first 3 steps above, putting the milk cap in the center and drawing the fabric up around it and then stitch the the bottom shut.
Use a hot glue gun to glue the button to the center of the flower.
