Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and these adorable felt flowers make a perfect homemade Mother’s Day gift idea! They’re so easy that children as young as 3 or 4 can make them (with some assistance, of course!), but they’re so much fun to make that even the adults will want to make some as well!

DIY No-Sew Felt Flowers

 

 What You Need to Make Felt Flowers:


How to Make Felt Flowers:

Select the colors and sizes of felt pieces that you want to use (3 to 5 work best) and start layering. Add a dot of glue to the center of each layer to hold your flower together, but do not glue all the way to the outer edges. This will create a flower with more depth and dimension.

(My kids had a TON of fun with this part and really took their time selecting their favorite color and pattern combinations to make their flowers!)

Finish the center of each flower by gluing on a colorful button, or layering two different sized buttons to create even more dimension.

Glue a wooden skewer or paper straw to the back of the flower to serve as the stem. Felt glue will work, but hot glue will work even better as it holds strongly and dries quickly. (Always use caution and have adult supervision when working with hot glue!). Tie a short length of green ribbon to the skewer to create leaves.

Bundle your flowers together and place them in your favorite vase. Hint: if the mouth of your vase is too wide to hold the flowers upright, try placing a small piece of floral foam or playdough in the bottom of the vase to hold the stems in place.

These felt flowers are SO quick and easy, and they are SUPER cute! They make a sweet Mother’s Day gift, but really, they’d be a lovely and welcome gift any time of the year!

    Hi,

    this is BEAUTIFUL! I’d like to adapt it to a felt flower necklace project I’ll be teaching 2nd-4th grade girls. Did you use a template for the flowers, and did your boys trace and cut?

    Thanks foryour lovely work!

      Hi Jennifer!

      It would be rather simple to cut a template out of cardstock and then cut the flowers out of your felt. I have to admit though, that since I knew my finished flowers were going to be published in a magazine I went ahead and purchased pre-cut flowers from http://www.etsy.com/shop/bbdsupplies to save time and make them look extra uniform and pretty 🙂

    Thanks Heidie, that explains whythey are so perfectly uniform 🙂 I was concerned my girls would fall short. I went ahead and tried it using some templates and sme freehand. Thank You for the inspiration!
