1pieceSea Grass Felt leaf4 inch square
Instructions
Find a flat surface to work on. Turn on the hot glue gun so it’s ready to go when you need it.
Lay out your 5 inch square of dark plum felt. Cut out a circle with a 5 inch diameter by trimming each corner of the square.
1 piece Dark Plum
Select one side of the felt square. From the center of that side cut a convex shape to the center of the adjacent side. Repeat that cut on all four sides until you have a circle. *
Cut a spiral about ¾ inch thick to the center of the circle. Try your best to keep the spiral width even.
Leave a tab of felt in the center so you can glue all the ruffled rose together.
Every half inch to inch cut out a little notch to make the ruffled part of the rose.
Start rolling the felt from the outside of the circle to the center. Dab glue every so often to keep the flower together.
Once you have reached the end of rolling your felt load up some glue on the remaining tab and set the rolled flower on it.
Allow the glue to dry and set the ruffled rose aside.
Creating the Leaves
Taking the 4 inch square of sea grass felt cut the square into fours by folding in half and cutting into two pieces.
1 piece Sea Grass Felt leaf
Fold the pieces in half again for fourths and cut for a total of four squares.
Grab one 2 inch square of felt and cut in a convex arch from one corner to the opposite corner.
Repeat the convex arch back to the original corner.
You will now have a simple leaf. Repeat with the other three green squares for the poppy and chrysanthemum felt flowers.
Putting the Ruffled Rose Together
Load up some hot glue on a corner of a leaf.
Then place the ruffled rose on top of the glue. Once dry you have your ruffled rose felt flower!
Notes
*Tip: You can trace a circle on the felt with a pencil and protractor then cut out the circle. Or you can find a 4 inch circular object, like a large mug, trace it with a pencil onto the felt then cut out the circle.
