Classic Felt Flowers – Tutorial

May18th2010 First of all, I have to give credit where credit is due. This amazing lady inspired me to try my hand at a different type of flower than usual, and I sort of switched it up a little to make it my own. Enjoy! Now, I know I say this pretty much every time, but I LOVE THESE FLOWERS. Supplies: FeltGlue (I used a hot glue gun because I apparently like the excruciating 5 second pain it causes my fingertips, but try whatever you have on hand)Center: A cute button, vintage earring, cluster of beads… other ideas? xo! Check out my other tutorials here!

Felt Rose tutorial and pattern Hello everyone! Today I am going to share the last felt flower pattern, a lovely rose =] I am also very excited because for the first time I made a video tutorial, sadly Ken had the video camera so I had to make the video with my laptop, so I am sorry if I am a little far – I tried!! Next time I will practice and with the tripod and camera I am sure it will be easier =] Your color choice of felt (I used 3 9″x12″sheets in different colors, and used a little bit more than half for each flower)Thread, needle and scissors.Hot glue gun.Download the pattern in case you need it (You will find 4 different sizes for you to play with! ) **The download on the left is a PDF format file, so you will need to have Abobe Reader installed on your PC or MAC. You can see the pieces you will need to make one rose in the image above. I hope you all enjoy and let me know if you make some of these! * This tutorial is provided for personal use only.

Rose Barrettes With Valentine's Day coming up I designed these little girl's barrettes in celebration of the rose. I liked the idea that they could add a little Valentine's spirit to any outfit, and also to be used long after the big day. --Molly Materials Cutting Cut out all of the pieces from the Rose Barrette Pattern. one rosebud strip in color Aone 1st tier petal piece in color Aone 2nd tier petal piece in color Aone barrette top in color Bone barrette bottom (with a small slit cut as marked) in color B Making the Rosebud Roll the rosebud strip tightly, lining up the straight edge, starting from the smaller end to form a little rosebud shape as shown above. Thread a length of embroidery thread that matches the color of the rose. Turn the rosebud 90-degrees and take another stitch through all the layers perpendicular to the first set of stitches. Pull this stitch tight and take another stitch in the same place. You will have a pretty little rosebud. Adding the Petals The rose is now finished!
