Make as many felt flowers as you like for your felt flower mobile. I made 33 felt flowers using all seven of our templates; 30 were regular size (5 inch diameter) and 3 were mini sized.

Let's make a sphere. Take two 12 inch hoops and slide one within the other making an "X" shape at the top and bottom. The four sides of the sphere should be equal distance from the center.

Secure the bottom "X" with a bit of twine. Tie approximately 10 inches of twine around the bottom "X" like you would wrap a gift with ribbon. Cut the excess twine and hot glue the knot so it doesn't unravel.

Cut about 5 feet of twine (more or less depending on where you will hang this and how high or low you want the felt flower mobile to hang).

Wrap the twine around the top "X" like you are wrapping a gift leaving about a foot of twine in the center. This foot of twine will be used to attach the inner hoop.

You've crafted your felt flowers and now it is time to attach them to the outer hoops. Take a moment to plot out where you would like the flowers. With your hot glue gun on stand by, start placing hot glue on the outside and/or inside flat areas of the wooden hoops. Press the back of the flower into the glue and hold until it's set.

Repeat until you have reached your desired look with your felt flowers.

TIP: Having a leaf on every felt flower can crowd your design. Craft some flowers without leaves so it doesn't get too busy.

Once you have placed all your flowers start looking for gaps between the two sides that you can hot glue together. This will help to keep the flowers in place and cover up the wooden hoop a bit.

TIP: Placing mini flowers in the gaps is really pretty too. So make a couple of the felt flowers in mini size. Cutting the flower templates in thirds or half the size did the trick for me.

Time to attach the interior hoop to the exterior structure. Now's the time to use the extra foot of twine.

Loop the twine twice around the interior hoop threading the twine in the knot of the exterior hoop each time. Leave about an inch of space between the exterior and interior hoops.

Tie off the additional twine to the very top of the structure. Secure the knot with some hot glue and cut off the extra twine.

String three wooden beads through the twine left to hang the mobile. Tie a double knot at the top so the beads don't move around everywhere.

Optional: Hang ribbon from the mobile.

Cut four strands of ribbon at various lengths somewhere around 24 inches plus or minus a couple of inches.

Fold the ribbon so it is offset. Find four spots, one on each segment of the exterior hoop, place the folded ribbon over the hoop and thread the ends of the ribbon through the ribbon's loop.

Secure the loop with a bit of glue and hold until set.

Repeat on the three other segments.

Cut the ends of the ribbon with sharp scissors at an angle for a clean look.
