Felt Sunflower Tutorial
To make these felt sunflowers, you need yellow, brown, and green felt, scissors, and a hot glue gun.
First, cut the petals out of the yellow felt. The petals don't have to be perfect or all identical.
I freehand cut some leaves, two for each flower.
For the center, cut a long strip of brown about a 1/2 inch wide. Then fold in half long ways and glue together.
Take your scissors and cut along the folded edge to make fringe.
Put a dot of hot glue on one end, then roll the brown up tightly. Glue the end.
It's not necessary, but I applied hot glue all over the back of the spiral and then glued it onto some other felt. This ensures that it won't unravel.
Now flip the brown over and start attaching the petals. I did two rows of petals. For the smaller flowers I used 5 petals for each layer, for the bigger ones I used 7.
On the second layer, glue the petals in between the petals of the first layer. Once both layers are glued, just glue the leaves down.
And that's it! I added a push pin on to some to attach to my sign. For the letter board, I glued some of the extra pieces from my letter board letters so I could stick the flowers on the sign.
Velcro would work really well to attach these flowers as well. There's just so many options!
Cut out petals from yellow felt and leaves from green felt.
Cut a strip of brown felt, glue it in half horizontally, cut fringe on the folded edge.
Roll up the brown felt into little spirals.
Flue the petals onto the back of the brown spirals.
Glue a second layer of petals in between the first layer.
Add your leaves.
These make really cute sign decor!
