Felt Flower Tutorial with Step by Step Directions

There are 4 different ways you can make felt flowers and felt flower bouquets with twig stems using this tutorial. Choose one of the 4 options above and begin at the step directed below.

As another alternative Mommy Moment came up with another way to make felt flowers with twig stems that you can read HERE.

Step 1 – Download and Print Free Printable Flower Pattern Template (Optional)

• Download our free printable flower pattern and print it out onto cardstock. Regular printer paper can also be used, but cardstock is better for making strong flower templates to trace.

Step 2 – Cut Flower Templates out of Free Flower Pattern Printable

• If you are not ordering the pre-cut flowers or using a cookie cutter to trace, cut the flower templates out of the free flower pattern printable.
• Use one flower pattern to make a bunch of the same flowers, or one of each flower… up to you! (Note: Some flowers are easier than others to cut out.)
• Alternatively, you can draw your own flower templates onto cardstock and cut them out.

Step 3 – Trace Flower Templates or Flower Cookie Cutter with Disappearing Ink on Felt

• Trace the free flower patterns that you have cut into cardstock templates or a flower cookie cutter with disappearing ink. Yes, disappearing ink really disappears even on white felt! The ink can be washed away with water or it will disappear over time.
• **WARNING: Do not trace your flowers and leave them to cut out the next day or you may not have anything left to trace!

Step 4 – Cut Flowers out of Felt

• Cut the flowers out of the felt. Felt is tricky to cut, make it easy on yourself with a pair of sewing scissors or small sharp precision scissors.

Step 5 – Use Pruning Sheers to Trim Twigs for Felt Flowers

• Use pruning shears to trim thin bare branches and twigs down to the desired height.
• Measure the height by standing the twigs next to a vase before you cut them.
• Trim both ends for a clean look.

Step 6 – Glue Felt Flowers and Pompoms onto Twig Stems

1. Fold the flower in half to cut a very small hole in the middle of it.
2. Thread the tip of a twig through the small hole in the flower.
3. Use a glue gun to glue a pompom onto the tip of the twig and the felt flower to secure it in place.

Step 7 – Place flowers in a vase or tie a ribbon around a Felt Flower Bouquet

• Place your gorgeous flowers in a vase or tie a ribbon around them to create a handheld bouquet of flowers.
• Single flowers in a vase or with felt leaves glued to them are also lovely.
• Optional: Use your felt scraps and extra pompoms as a colorful vase filler!

Felt Flower Craft Gift idea

Single flowers and handheld bouquets of flowers made out of felt are an easy gift idea for kids teens and adults. Give mom (or grandma) a single flower or a whole bouquet for Mother’s day or just to say I love you any day of the year!
