I found these in a book and thought they were easy and useful for crafting.

This is my 1st tutorial, so let me know if you have ?s.

You Will Need (3 things)

  • Felt
  • Running Stitch
  • Thread

Steps (9 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Cut out two felt circles. I used the bottom of a coffee syrup bottle for a pattern.

  2. 2

    Thread needle with coordinating thread of 1st circle. Start at center and do a running stitch to the outside.

  3. 3

    Parallel to the stitch you just did, do a running stitch back to the middle.

  4. 4

    Pull the thread tight and tie a knot.

  5. 5

    At 120 degrees, repeat steps 2, 3, 4.

  6. 6

    Another 120 degrees, (or 1/2 way between material left) repeat steps 2, 3, 4.

  7. 7

    With the different color felt and coordinating thread, make second "flower". Through the middle, sew them together (rotating second flower 120 degrees so you can see back flower piece).

  8. 8

    Decorate flower with buttons, beads, other felt pieces, etc. Just let your imagination go!

    I used a plain, small button and sewed on with beads.

  9. 9

    Glue a pin back on your flower for a spring brooch or use as a decoration (I made a smaller one for a hair decoration on a felt doll).

    Make a whole bunch and decorate a pillow or a straw hat.
