  • 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.

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.
