Tutorial: Simple Felt Daisy. This tutorial was originally posted on Whip Up August 2007.
Now that everything's blooming, I thought it was a perfect time to post it here, too. Quick Felt Daisy Tutorial Here's a quick way to make cute daisies from felt. Supplies * White and Yellow Felt* Yellow Floss and a Needle* Disappearing Ink Pen (or some other marking fabric marker/pencil)* Two round things to trace: one big one little*Scissors, and manicure scissors, if you have them Directions Trace your big round thing on the white felt. Trace the little circle in the middle of the big circle. Cut out around the large circle. Cut from the edge towards the center on the top and bottom side of the circle. Cut from the edge towards the center on the left and right. Cut between each of the four cuts. Cut between each of the eight cuts. I used my cuticle scissors to cut the curve at the top of each petal. After I go around the circle cutting the right edge of the petals, I flip the daisy over and cut the other side of the petal.
Handmade Felt Hairclips. That Jolie Girl: Felt Flower Tutorial. I've been a bit obsessed with felt flowers for the last few years.
It started when my sis asked me to make her wedding bouquet and 3 bridesmaids bouquets. I posted a tutorial on how I made her bouquet that you can see here. I'm so glad I got to create something so important for my sis's wedding. It was such a wonderful labor of love.
Hand Cut Felt Flower Tutorial. Go and get some felt.
I used eco-felt made from recycled bottles. You can get it at pretty much any craft store. Some more specialty stores sell great, thick wool felt. Maybe next time! Use a circular object to trace a simple circle, the size of the flower you want, onto the felt in chalk. Now, here’s the part where I got creative. Using scissors, round off one corner of each section, ending the cut right along the line.I found it was easiest to do all one side first, then flip it over and round the opposite corners. And, there you have a relatively even “cut-by-hand” felt flower. By making smaller circles into smaller flowers you can make a layered bloom… Then add some felt leaves and a button center! Layers and layers of one color is beautiful, too!! A little hand stitching and some different colors makes a great little bouquet. Okay, ready for a different one? Grab your pinking shears and cut the darkest color into a circle as big as you want the flower to be. Easy cell phone cozy from eco felt.
Uh-oh...your cell phone is ringing.
Can you actually find it in the bottom of your purse in time to answer it? Has everyone in the store become familiarized with your ringtone yet? Oh if only you could just grab it and answer the thing! Yeah. That's my mom. I could have bought her one, but she uses a pretty big purse and I wanted one that would hang safely inside, long enough she could zip her purse and not have problems. I've never made a cell phone cozy before, didn't have a pattern and didn't have a clue how to blanket-stitch but that was the plan! I started by stealing her phone and measuring its size on my selected color. Then I cut out two equally sized pieces using all my handy rulers, grids and a rotary cutter. One side of the pocket would have to be short enough to see the top of the phone when it was inside otherwise you wouldn't be able to grab it easily, so that side is trimmed.

DIY Mother's Day Corsage: Felt Dahlia Flower Brooch - Holidash News. Apple Coasters. When I was a kid I dreaded the day that I would start seeing commercials for school supplies and my mom would suggest we go buy a new backpack.
I didn't even want to think about giving up my summer freedom. Sometimes, to add insult to injury, the first day of school would be on my birthday! But these days, with first-days-of-school far behind me, I actually look forward to this time of year more than any other. I love the crisp weather, the foliage, my birthday, and I really love apples! Since apples are so quintessentially autumn and because they're so graphically appealing, I was inspired to celebrate this beautiful time of year with a super cute set of Apple Coasters. The Apple Coasters are close cousins to my summertime Citrus Coasters, which is to say that they are a total breeze to make, no fancy stitches or skills required. Materials To make 10 coasters: One Apples Felt BundleDMC Embroidery Floss in colors to match the felt.

Crafty Tutorials. How To Cut Out Felt - REVISED. EDIT: Whenever somebody works with any materials long enough, they come up with shortcuts and techniques that save time and give better results.
Last year I shared a tutorial on how to cut out felt. I got so many "thank yous" from people that followed the instructions and got the results they were looking for. I later realized there was something else I do, that I didn't consider sharing. When cutting out 2 pieces of felt, I often staple the pattern and felt pieces together. The staples lay flatter than pins, which is why I tape, and the staples can be removed (I have broken more than 1 nail doing this, however :) and most felts will be left without a trace.
