Flower from felt by own hands

Felt for flowers has become such a popular material is not accidental. It is very easy to work with, there is a huge choice of density and thickness of the material for each specific case, and the abundance of colors is simply taken by surprise. Patterns of colors from felt are very simple. Sometimes a simple daisy in several layers of different colors looks very impressive. You can make flowers in several ways: cut out on a pattern or collect by thread. Let's consider some lessons of making a flower from felt:

  1. Rose flower. The queen of flowers will easily decorate any dress in the evening or diversify the boring autumn coat. To make a flower on cardboard, draw a circle about 10 cm in diameter - these are the outer petals of the rose (the base). From the circle of a smaller diameter, we make the central petals, out of the small ovals, we obtain the outer petals. Do not forget to draw a pattern for the rose leaf. From the felt we cut out several petals of different sizes. Separately, we put two round billets in half. One of the workpiece is rolled up and applied to the first one. She wraps the roll and gets the core of the rose. The resulting part is chipped with a pin at the base. We pour glue our item from below and wait until it dries. Now for a large circle we plant our workpiece, and we need to glue the leaves to this base. The remaining petals are made from billets folded in half and glued to the base.
  2. Violet. To make patterns for these colors from felt is very simple. The workpiece is a trefoil: three hearts connected by lower corners. On the cardboard we draw two blanks of a large size, one piece of a smaller size, two even smaller and one smallest. It is very simple to assemble a flower: we put the blanks one on top of the other, from the largest to the smaller, and glue together. Large trefoils are laid out in such a way as to obtain a chess order in the future. Between them lay out the remaining workpieces. From the green felt we cut out one trefoil of a large size (larger than the main petals) and paste it on the flower.
  3. Here is another way to make a flower out of felt. Take a strip of felt and fold it along in half. We fasten with pins. From the side of the bend, it is necessary to make notches with the same spacing. Now, along the row of pins, we sew stitches "with a needle" in a thread in a tone. Remove the pins and carefully pull the thread. Gradually form the petals of the flower. In the end, you need to sew the extreme petals together. We make the core of the remainders of felt: cut out a circle, on the wrong side apply the glue and apply to the middle of the flower. Then you can decorate ready-made flowers from felt with beads, paillettes or beads. On the back you can attach an elastic band or a pin.

Of the finished flowers, you can make a brooch, if you glue a piece of felt on the wrong side and pound it with a pin. Attach a small magnet and you will get an original decoration on the refrigerator. Large and colorful flowers can decorate the bag. Even the usual hair band after your revision will be just a masterpiece. Very impressive look such flowers, if the edges are swept with contrasting threads or decorated with bright buttons.
