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.

You Will Need (5 things)

  • 2 pieces of Felt
  • Sewing Machine or needle and thread
  • Scissors
  • Pen(s)
  • Hot Glue Gun and glue

Steps (5 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 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. 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. 3

    Gather up the stitching and then flatten out to make a circle.

  4. 4

    Cut small wedges around the edges about 1/2 inch or so apart.

  5. 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.
