Felt Flowers

I have been crazy about FELT lately! Crazy! I love creating different little embellishments with it. Everyone who purchased a March Moments to Remember kit received 2 little button posies that I made out of felt. I had so much fun making them. So much fun that I decided to see what else I could make! Buying embellishments in the store can get so pricey, but if you take the time you can make a lot of the same things at home!

This month I am going to show you how to make some really cute felt flowers. It's super easy and requires very little supplies. I actually found a tutorial on this on YouTube. If I can find the link again I will post it for you later.

Supplies:
Felt
Scissors
Needle/Thread
Small embellishment---jewel, brad, button

Let's get started!

Step 1: Gather your supplies


Step 2: Cut 4 "U" shape pieces from the felt (you can just freehand this--it doesn't have to be perfect). The larger the pieces, the larger the flower.


Step 3: Fold your petal in half.


Step 4: Fold each side down one more time (see picture, not sure how to describe this).


Step 5: Using your needle and thread, sewing through each fold.


Step 6: Repeat steps 3, 4, & 5 for all pedals. Do not cut your thread, just sew it to the previous pedal.


Step 7: Tie a knot in your thread and cut.


Step 8: Turn pedal over so you don't see your stitching and place a small embellishment in the center.


That's it!!! Now you have a cute little (or big depending on what you created) flower that looks just like you bought it in the store. I can't wait to make some more!!!!!!

Felt Buttons

This past week I've been busy sewing these cute little buttons! I just love them!! I was inspired by an etsy shop: Vintage Remnants. I've been really into felt lately. It's cheap and you can make just about anything with it! I can't wait to put these embellishment to use in a layout. I also can't wait to make more little goodies---maybe some shamrocks for St. Patrick's Day??!

Spoiler alert!!!! These little felt embellishments will be included in the March Moment's to Remember kit!!!! I'm so excited to contribute to the kit this month and can't wait to share it with you.
