Don’t hesitate, release your muse and create ^_^
The master classes are very simple; children can create bright felt flowers with their own hands (of course, under the supervision of adults). Afterwards, the finished flower can be used as a decoration: decorated in the form of a brooch, hairpin or attached to a hair elastic; as an element of room decor: simply put in a vase or, for example, decorate with decorative pillows.
Let's start with several options for making felt roses.
Felt roses
Which girl doesn’t dream of receiving “a million scarlet roses” as a gift? After all, roses are delicate, exquisite flowers, a true symbol of femininity and beauty. Below are 3 workshops that will help you get your own felt roses.
Simple felt rose
Felt is a material that provides opportunities for imagination and creativity! You can make many interesting and unusual things from it, as well as flowers of different types. This rose is one of the ideas and probably the simplest! Anyone can do it without any special skills.
You will need:
A small strip of pink felt, scissors, a bead and a needle and thread.
Cute felt rose by rolling method Cut a strip of felt and make a zigzag edge as shown in the photo. It should taper slightly towards one edge. 
Roll the strip, starting from the narrow part and moving towards the wider part.
To secure the rosette, sew it by making several punctures at its base.
A small bead in the center will be an attractive accent! Just sew it on the top of the flower.
Decide for yourself what will decorate this beautiful and easy-to-make flower!
Two-tone rose
Creating this two-color rose will give you pleasure, and its shades are the main feature!
It looks realistic, but will take a little longer than the rosette according to the previous MK.
Look how nicely the two colors of felt combine in this rose! To cut a circle, simply take any round shaped object and press down on the material. Drawing with a pencil on felt is a rather difficult task, but this way everything can be done quickly and easily!
Now simply cut out the resulting circles. Make circles from two different colors of felt and different sizes - large, medium and small, and then cut each circle in half.
Next, work with each semicircle separately. First, take the smallest semicircle and start rolling it, then take a semicircle of the same size, but of a different color, thus continue working, twisting the petals from smaller to larger.
Each petal must be secured with thread.
Attach petal by petal, changing the color each time, finishing the work when you realize that the rose has formed. You can sew a bead into the center if you wish.
Well, what do you think about this flower? Will you try to do it? You will not regret it!
Delicate rose brooch
DIY jewelry is always distinguished by its originality and uniqueness. You don’t have to worry about seeing something like this in a group of friends or at parties. It will always be loved, because it is in it that the warmth of your hands and your creativity have been invested.
The felt rosette looks so realistic and tender that many will envy such a decoration.
To make a rose you will need:
Pink and green felt, scissors, needle and thread.
Draw five circles on the felt (you can trace something round for this) and cut them out using scissors. Make the edges of the four resulting circles wavy, as if they were petals. Take green felt - it will make two small leaves like in the picture.
First, take an even circle and sew two green leaves with a few stitches. Then start working with the remaining circles. Each one needs to be folded into quarters as shown below.
Sew these circles alternately to the middle of an even circle.
Our rose is ready! See how simple it is! It can be attached to a pin or hair tie, decorate your home or gift box. It will always look cute, and, most importantly, it doesn’t take much time to make.

In dreams of summer... Basic elements of flowers
You can vary the prepared flower parts to create unique pieces and have fun. I loved putting together the most unusual flowers and seeing how the colorful pieces fit together. I'll show you three specific flowers that I made, but please be free with your creativity.
Narcissus
You will need: three equal parts of a flower in different shades of the same color, one button and a thread of your choice.
Place the pieces on top of each other so that the petals do not match, but look out from under each other. Place the button in the center and sew through all three layers, tying a knot on the wrong side.
Camellia
You will need:
The inner, largest part of the camellia, the outer part of the flower is slightly smaller, a blank center and matching thread.
First place the larger part of the flower on the table, place the smaller part on it and place the middle of the flower on top. To sew the layers together, pull the thread along the outer edge of the center, catching it, and pull the thread back to the inside.
Sew in this manner along the entire edge of the center.
Buttercup
You will need:
The prepared center of the flower, its main part, the leaf of the flower and matching threads.
Sew the center to the main part in the same way as you sewed the camellia flower, through the outer edge. A green leaf is sewn to the back with small stitches.
Here are a variety of buttercups:
In addition, you can sew anemones from felt in the same way according to the following master class:
Shutdown
I'll give you some practical tips on how to use bright flowers. To do this you will need hair bands, hairpins or pins.
The flower can be sewn onto an elastic hair band; work carefully and take your time. For girls, you can make a flower ring in the same way.
You can secure the flower to a pin with thread as shown in the picture. Make stitches evenly, without piercing the front side with a needle.
Sew the flower to the hairpin, making stitches on the right, left and in the middle. Make sure nothing is visible on the front side.
These are just a few ideas and examples of what you can do with flowers. They can also be sewn together as a garland or attached to a shirt. Get creative and create your own floral charm!
Other felt flowers
Bright sunflowers
Bright sunflowers are associated with hot summers. No wonder their name comes from the word “sun”. These large bright flowers create a joyful mood and give us their warmth. They say that the presence of these flowers in the house brings good luck, which means it's time to make them!
Vibrant sunflowers are so easy to make and so fun. Of course, it will take a little time, but you won't regret it. If you want to make the same flowers as in the photo, continue reading and follow the instructions below.
Start by cutting out a circle from black felt, and then cut out squares from yellow felt - 18 large and 12 small.
Now take one yellow petal at a time, roll it up and sew it to the middle with a few stitches. Continue working around the entire circle, placing them close to each other. Don't worry if you haven't used all the petals if there are some left over. Nobody's counting!
Cut out two circles of black or brown felt, one larger and one smaller. Make cuts along the edges of each of these circles.
Sew a few beads into the very middle. Your bright sunflower is ready! Sew several more similar flowers of different shades and sizes.
Such sunny felt sunflowers And here is a video tutorial on sewing sunflowers from felt from Elena Volodkevich
Beautiful chrysanthemums
Almost all flowers created by nature can be made from felt. Today it's time to decorate your home with felt chrysanthemums. Although they do not smell, they will bring mood to the house, and can also become an excellent decoration for a blouse or jacket.
This flower is similar in technique to the sunflowers above.
Fabulous? Yes! Cheap? Certainly! Easily? Undoubtedly! Want to make one like this? Prepare squares of three different sizes, you will need about 12 of the largest ones, 10 slightly smaller ones and 7 small ones.
Give each square a petal shape as shown in the photo. You can cut them out the way you want, of course, they won’t all turn out exactly the same, but in nature there are no identical petals. For the base, cut out a circle.
Start sewing each petal with several stitches to the circle, folding them at the base.
Sew the petals close to each other, securing them well. The photo shows a flower with 11 petals.
Start sewing the next row, closer to the middle. Continue sewing the petals in the same way as the first row. The second rad will consist of 9 petals.
For the third row, use about 7 petals, the petals should completely cover the middle.
Take the unused squares and cut them into circles. Make cuts in a circle.
Place the smaller circle on top of the larger circle.
Sew them into the middle of the flower. When you pull the thread, the circles will lower, and the cut parts will rise up and look up.
It’s not a shame to give such a bright flower for a holiday =) OK it's all over Now! Beautiful chrysanthemums will delight you even in winter.

- Small pieces of felt in rich colors (bright yellow and pink) for the flower.
- Threads in beige, black, marsh shades.
- Needle for sewing or embroidery.
- Scissors.
- Simple pencil, chalk marker.
- A piece of cardboard.
- A small amount of holofiber.
2. From beige felt, cut out one piece for the pot: base, bottom and rim. From black felt, cut out a circle with a diameter of about 8-10 cm to imitate the ground.
3. From dark green felt, cut out 5-6 identical parts for the cactus. Make one identical flower piece from pink and yellow felt. Make a stripe for the middle of the inflorescence of any bright color.
4. Take the wide rounded piece (the base of the pot) and connect its short edges. Sew them together with beige thread using a butt or overlap stitch.
5. Take the bottom of the pot, sew it to the base with an overcast stitch (or over the edge).
6. Take a narrow rounded strip and sew its short sections end to end. Then wrap this part around the top of the pot and sew along the inner contour. To do this, lay a finishing stitch in the form of a dotted line.
7. Then join the top edges of the pot and the rim using an overcast stitch or any other stitch you desire. Straighten the pot, give it a beautiful shape.
8. Cut a circle from cardboard the size of the bottom of the pot. It is needed for stability.
9. Place a cardboard circle at the bottom of the pot. Check if it fits well with the bottom in size.
10. Move the black circle towards you and pass a thread along its entire edge.
11. Pull the thread, put holofiber inside.
12. Tighten the thread, secure the tie with several stitches and a knot. Using your fingers, form a rounded piece with a smooth spherical surface.
13. Take out the pot. Place a ball simulating soil into the pot. If it doesn't completely fill the space of the pot, take it out and put some synthetic litter in the bottom.
14. Place the soil in the pot and level it with your fingers so that it is evenly distributed across the top.
15. Take the green cactus elements. Fold them in twos and sew them together in pairs with an overcast stitch.
16. In the middle of the fastened parts, lay a vertical stitch, piercing the material right through with the needle.
17. Then sequentially attach all the cactus parts to each other, sewing their centers together.
18. Sew the main part of the cactus to the soil, capturing all the sections of the base.
19. Make sure that the edges of the plant are distributed evenly over the surface of the ground (you can first pin them down with pins). Place the cactus and soil in a pot.
A big and warm hello to everyone! I really like handicrafts, and for quite a long time felt has been on the list of my favorite materials for creativity. The material is truly wonderful, amazing and easy to use. I have already shared my work with you and published several articles with ideas. And today there will be another piece of inspiration, which I hope will encourage you to try to make something with your own hands, for example, flowers from felt.
Flowers don't do anything for them. These include ribbons, fabric, foamiran and polymer clay. Each technique has its own highlights and its own beauty. But the easiest one, in my opinion, is the one in which felt is used during the manufacturing process. Even a novice craftswoman can easily and simply make a charming decoration in 10-15 minutes.
By the way, the buds can also be used to decorate pillows, clothes, make bouquets or. In general, their use is not limited to lying in a box. Even photo frames will look a hundred times better if you decorate them with felt flowers. And what kind of hairpins they make for girls – beautiful!
Felt flowers
What is women's favorite flower? That's right, roses! And they are quite easy to make from felt. To do this, draw a circle, a spiral on it and cut it out, and to give the bud relief and naturalness, you can cut out the blank, making small waves.
Flowers - poppies can also be made in various ways. But both the first and second options deserve high praise.
Charming chrysanthemums look very beautiful, and are quite easy to make: cut out a strip of felt, fold it in half lengthwise and cut it with scissors every 3-5 millimeters. Then the workpiece must be rounded and secured with glue. In the middle, if you go, you can glue a bead or another center.
And the next felt flower of extraordinary beauty is made from petals, which are folded in a special way and glued to a circle - a blank.
As you can see, you can make not only voluminous flowers from felt, but also flat ones. They are easy to make and can be used for home decoration, arranging bouquets and making accessories.
Very delicate buds, and their composition is simply breathtaking.
Here is another selection of photographs of felt flowers, look and be inspired.
Felt jewelry
Every woman wants to look attractive. To do this, we follow fashion, take care of ourselves, and dress up. Decorations occupy a special place. Some people prefer jewelry, such as gold, silver, stones, and so on. And some people don’t mind wearing jewelry. But you can make a beautiful necklace, bracelet, earrings or headband with your own hands and decorate it with felt flowers.
Handmade is in fashion now more than ever, so don't miss the opportunity to show off your creation. After all, you will have an absolutely exclusive item that has no analogues, which means it costs more than any diamond. Here are some ideas for inspiration.
Felt bouquets
When I first saw such bouquets, my delight knew no bounds. It turns out that even such material can be used to make flower arrangements, and they are quite capable of competing with ribbons and foamiran. The main thing in this matter is to show imagination and know the basics of floristry. Much depends on the color combination, the theme of the bouquet and the technique of making buds. This is such beauty!
Which felt is best to use for making flowers?
In order for the products to be of high quality and look “expensive,” it is best to choose felt made in Korea or Spain. From my own experience I can say for sure that Chinese felt is not durable; it rolls up very quickly and loses its appearance. The only thing it is suitable for is “training” - although it wouldn’t be a shame to throw it away.
Depending on what kind of flower you are going to make, hard or soft felt will suit you. If the bud contains many petals and you need to crush them somewhere into an accordion or bend them, then most likely the second option will suit you; for the rest, the first option will be suitable.
I often buy felt and recommend this: this shop. There you can buy different types of felt, different colors and shades. You might like sets or individual sheets. And the prices are loyal and even lower than those of other sellers.
That's all for today! Create beauty! See you again!
A blooming felt cactus looks original in the interior. You can make this craft for yourself or as a gift to a loved one.
Even a novice needlewoman can handle the job; the sewing technique is simple and does not require a sewing machine. The felt flower does not need to be watered; it thrives in the shade and does not need care. You can place the pot on a bookshelf or next to the computer on your desktop, because the theory about the beneficial properties of a real cactus still has not been confirmed.
Creative materials
To make a felt cactus with your own hands, prepare:
- soft felt material of a green shade (preferably dark or marsh);
- felt pieces of bright colors (yellow, lilac, etc.) and a white sheet for a flower;
- a sheet of hard felt for the box;
- decorative gravel or small stones;
- scissors;
- chalk and plain pencil;
- threads to match the main material, dark-colored threads for embroidery, a needle;
- craft glue;
- synthetic filler for toys.
Buy felt sheets with a reserve, because they make very beautiful crafts and decorations. Look ours to immediately stock up on materials and ideas!
Step-by-step manufacturing technique
Print out the cactus and flower pattern, cut out the templates and transfer to sheets of felt.
On a stiff felt sheet, draw a box pattern with a pencil or chalk. Set aside the dimensions of the base - 6 * 6 cm, then, on the continuation of these lines, draw the sides 3 cm high.
On two opposite sides, make two allowances of 1 cm for gluing. Cut out the base of the box, bend along all the lines.
Turn the box blank upside down.
Fold back the seam allowance and coat it with glue. Press it to the adjacent edge of the side with your fingers and hold until the glue dries.
Glue all sides of the box. Leave it to dry.
Cut out two cactus pieces from green felt. From bright sheets, cut out two identical parts of the flower, and from a white piece, cut a strip of 1*3 cm (for the middle of the flower).
Place the cactus parts side by side in a mirror image. Draw longitudinal lines on them with a chalk marker.
Thread a needle with dark threads and sew dotted stitches along the drawn lines. Make the stitches larger.
Make parallel stitches on both pieces.
Place the pieces right sides together. Align the edges. Thread a needle with threads that match the base material and begin sewing the parts from the bottom and further along the entire contour.
Do not stitch the bottom edges. Fasten the thread and cut it.
Turn the product right side out using a pencil or a stick with a blunt end.
Carefully straighten the seams with your hands, be especially careful with the narrow parts of the product.
Stuff the felt cactus with holofiber; use a pencil to fill narrow areas.
Do not sew up the bottom. Use your fingers to straighten the shape, leveling the filler throughout the entire space of the craft.
Place the flower parts on top of each other so that the petals of the bottom are visible through the top. Glue the centers together.
Cut the white strip on one side with scissors into small fragments. At the same time, do not reach the second edge with scissors, approximately 1-2 mm.
Roll the strip into a roll, the bottom of which is coated with glue. Glue to the middle of the flower.
Using your fingers, give the inflorescence core a natural shape.
Glue the felt flower to the top of the cactus.
Place the cactus in the middle of the box, pour gravel into it.
If you feel that the decor is not secured enough, you can glue its base to the bottom of the box.
An original decorative decoration in Handmade style – felt flowers. It’s easy and fairly quick to do, but it turns out very unusual and beautiful.
Felt, it should be noted, is the favorite material of handicraft masters. How many possibilities it opens up for creating a designer item. Judge for yourself how original a flower brooch on a black dress will look. And in general, on a dress of any solid color. After all, sometimes a small accessory is enough to make the same outfit look fresh and new. You can also use felt decorations to complement the appearance of the box, decorate a postcard or photo album. Felt flowers look original on handbags, hairpins, as decoration for hairbands, as well as in the design of any gift souvenirs.
A few words about what felt is and the reasons for its popularity. Felt is nothing more than felt made from rabbit or goat hair. Felt, in turn, is a non-woven textile. Wool or synthetic fibers can be used as a base. The choice of wool is determined by the peculiarity of its structure. The fact is that the edges of its fibers have so-called “notches”. This ensures good adhesion of the fibers to each other.
Making felt flowers with your own hands is a fun and not difficult activity. And all this thanks to the pliability of the material. It differs in its density and thickness. Felt can be bought at almost any craft store or ordered online. More often on sale there are felt sheets 2-2.5 mm thick and 30*40 cm in size, as well as 4 mm thick and 20*30 cm in size.
At the stage of choosing shades, you can show all the richness of your own imagination. The creative process fully corresponds to the author's concept and imagination, and therefore products can be created in any color scheme. Fortunately, the modern market for handicrafts makes it easy to realize even the most daring ideas. Some people use ready-made felt sheets with floral prints. Others prefer to combine the original contrasting colors. The boundaries of this process are determined solely by the taste of the master.
Materials for felt flowers
- scissors
- glue for working with fabric
- pins
- thread and needle
- all kinds of beads, beads and buttons of different sizes for decorating flower cores;
- floss threads, the shades of which should differ by several tones in one direction or another from the original felt color. They are used to decorate the edges of future flowers.
Felt flowers, patterns of which can be found in large quantities in catalogs of online magazines, are usually very simply designed. A regular chamomile template can be used as a base. But the work, made in several layers of contrasting or monochrome colors, takes on a completely different concept. Cut out paper petals. This will be the template. Here are some ready-made patterns for felt flowers:
Let's look at the assembly process using the example of a flower made using this pattern:
First you need to recreate the pattern design directly on the fabric.
Then the edge of each petal is trimmed with a skillful seam using floss or not processed at all.
We place the petals on top of each other from largest to smallest (or vice versa) and sew them in the center to form a recess for the future flower (you need to sew it tightly). And let's move on to creating the core. Place a circle cut out of felt on glue and place it in the middle of the flower.
Sequins, pre-prepared beads, beautiful beads will add originality to the resulting work of art.
Depending on the intended purpose of the product, we attach a pin or sew an elastic band to its reverse side.
We are posting a few more photos of flowers that inspire new creations. Each of these flowers uses French knots as an additional decoration:
The felt flowers presented below are master classes from handicraft masters. These works will help beginners master the simple creativity of creating decorative floral elements.
Felt rose (master class)
This amazing accessory is ready to “settle” on the evening dress or coat of its resourceful owner.
Let's start from the base of the flower. To do this, we will prepare a circle whose diameter will be 10 cm. We cut out semicircular petals along the edges of the circle, gradually moving from the outer edge inward.
The central part is rolled up, thereby forming the core of the future rose.
It needs to be secured with a pin and filled with a layer of glue. After the glue has dried, you need to wrap the rest of the felt around the resulting bud and close the cut from the bottom side.
This is such a wonderful rose that you will end up with!
If you make several roses, glue them to a piece of fabric and sew on a metal clasp, you will get a wonderful brooch!
For clarity, a few more roses made according to a similar principle:
Tsvoric shows how to decorate with felt (music by Key.peter):
Felt violet (master class)
Materials for work:
- felt (sheets of two different colors: lilac - for petals, green - for leaves)
- scissors
- threads, the color of which should match the color of the violet
Let's prepare 5 templates for future petals (diameter - 4 cm):
We take one of the petals in our hands and fold it in half twice. We get a petal in the form of a corner:
Using a couple of stitches we attach the corner to one of the blanks:
We repeat the steps for the remaining petal corners. To achieve the desired neat effect, carefully monitor the direction of the petals (they should be directed in one direction):
At the end of the work, the flower should be thoroughly straightened:
Let's move on to cutting out the leaves:
Sew them together:
Lifting the petal, we fasten the leaves to the base:
We enjoy the result!
For example, you can decorate a headband with such flowers:
Felt chrysanthemum (master class)
The felt strip must be folded in half (widthwise). For reliability, fasten with sewing pins.
On the side where the fold was made, we form identical cuts.
Using matching threads, we sew the strip with large stitches and roll it into a roll, forming petals. We secure it by sewing the layers together in several places.
All that remains is to straighten the felt and form a beautiful flower!
This flower will consist of a large number of petals.
Having cut out rectangles from felt, make a fringe on one edge and round the other. There should be about 20 petals. They should all be different sizes.
We pinch the edge that was rounded and fix the petal with glue.
Forming a flower:
Cut out a yellow strip. We cut it on one side. Then we roll it up and fix it with glue. We get the finished core.
To use a flower as a flower, you need to attach a small piece of felt to the base from the wrong side, and then pin the whole thing together with a pin or metal fastener.
Felt hydrangea (master class)
Materials for the flower:
- scissors
- glue gun
It is necessary to cut out 13 felt circles of the following sizes: 1 piece - with a diameter of 3 cm, 12 pieces - with a diameter of 2 cm.
We apply hot glue to the center of each circle and thus form future petals.
We take a large circle and, using a glue gun, distribute 4 prepared petals along its perimeter.
Between these petals we glue the next four. Repeat until the circle is filled.
Pillow with felt flowers
First, cut out the petals from felt:
Using the template, prepare 6 felt circles (diameter - 12cm)
Glue the petals to one of the circles using hot glue.
Gradually add the next row (4 in total)
We create the middle. Fold the circle twice:
Fold in half again:
Trim the end:
Lubricated with glue, we attach the future flower to the blank.
It takes 5 circles to go to the middle.
The result should be such a charming flower:
We decorate the pillow with the resulting flower.
Now comes the fun part! When creating flowers from felt with your own hands, you should take a close look at the various options for their inflorescences and the shape of the petals in nature. It is this observation that will tell the needlewoman the outlines and size ratios of the required blanks.
The beauty of this creativity lies in the fact that absolutely any of the colors existing in nature can be reproduced in felt: delicate, contrasting, and lush multi-colored... You will just need to choose the color of felt that matches the future shade of the product. Then cut out blanks in shape and circles for the future core, first from paper and then from fabric.
At the last stage, you need to assemble all the prepared elements using glue or stitches so that you get a flower. And then, based on our own ideas about ways to reflect images of living nature in art and creativity, we decorate our work with all kinds of available means. This could be embroidery or glass beads or shiny sequins. Everything your heart desires.
For an example of decor, see the master class on creating a “Felt poppy” from Lucky Fox:
