Work for the competition “Do-it-yourself flowers”. Author - Elena Sakharova from Moscow.
You can make very beautiful and varied flowers from felt.
For this we need:
- felt of different colors,
- glue gun,
- floral wire,
- decorative elements,
- thread, needle, scissors, beads, etc.
Blanks for future colors can be found on the Internet and printed, or these simple shapes can be drawn by hand. Transfer the patterns to felt. Cut and assemble flowers from them, as shown in the photo below.
Rose
We transfer the “Rose” paper blank to felt.
Cut it out.
Using a glue gun, we twist our bud into a roll.
The result was a lush rose.
Chamomile
Let's make chamomile. We transfer the blank template onto white felt. These are chamomile petals.
Cut and fold:
We cut out a strip from yellow felt and cut it along the entire length, but not all the way. This will be the core of the chamomile.
We wrap yellow felt tape around the wire, securing it with glue.
The result is a lush yellow center of the flower:
We string the white petals one by one onto the wire, securing them with glue.
Glue a circle of green felt onto the daisy. This is the receptacle.
Interior decorations
Panels and paintings of flowers made of wool look like real works of art. The work uses the same materials and tools as for other felt flowers. But they add textiles (gauze) for the base and a frame for the picture.
- gauze or nylon is placed on a flat surface;
- following the idea, the base for the picture is laid out crosswise on top with strands of equal thickness. And then, the background;
- after the plot is “drawn”, the workpiece is covered with a mosquito or nylon net and soaked in a soap solution;
- After drying, the painting is placed in a frame.
Important! An interesting color scheme or a soft transition can be obtained by mixing and felting fibers of different textures and colors. And when combining techniques, give the picture, for example, a vintage feel and relief.
Even novice needlewomen can “paint” canvases, make jewelry and arrange bouquets, guided by ideas from the Internet and improving their skills.
Depending on the color, thickness of the yarn and the method of folding, the same plot looks different. Therefore, each craft is unique.Wool flowers, with good care, will “bloom” all year round. A chic bouquet will not harm people suffering from allergies. And a piece of the craftswoman’s soul put into her work will fill the craft with special energy.
Anemone or Gazania
Or just a beautiful flower. Cut out petals from felt.
We string each petal on a thread one by one.
We tighten the thread and twist the petals around the stamens, fixing them with glue.
The result is an orange flower:
Where can felt flowers be used?
The most common crafts made from felt fabric are flowers. Experienced needlewomen love them for their excellent compatibility with other elements of a wide variety of crafts. And those who are just taking their first steps in handmade work prefer felt flowers because of the guaranteed successful result. You can use the following products for decoration:
- clothes (even the most austere and boring dress will sparkle with new colors with an original decor in the form of a flower brooch. You can also trim mittens, the hem of a coat or a hat with felt flowers);
- accessories (for example, a headband or hair clip with a flower looks very fresh and non-trivial);
- gifts (the gift wrapping will become even brighter if you stick a felt craft on it);
- home textiles (bedspreads and pillows are decorated with flowers);
- interior (from felt crafts you can make a beautiful panel or collage on the wall).
Violet
Let's make a violet. We cut out two or three blanks from felt of different shades.
We sew the core of each petal with threads in the color of felt.
This is what happens.
Using glue, we fasten the petals together and sew on a beaded core. Glue it to the wire.

What are they?
Felt flowers are a decoration that can be used for completely different purposes. They can be of different shapes or colors, and have from one to five layers (and even more). Each option will look special. They can also be used to create elegant topiaries that will harmoniously complement the interior of any home.
This is interesting: Felt is felt made from rabbit and goat hair. It is a non-woven textile fabric. Wool and synthetic fibers are often used for the base. The edges of the wool have small “notches”, which is what ensures excellent adhesion of the fibers to each other.
Felt is often used to make various fakes
Required tools and materials
- Felt;
- Glue gun or Moment glue;
- Scissors;
- Needle and thread;
- Pins and pins;
- Decorating elements (beads, stones, sequins, etc.);
- Flower cores (can be purchased at craft stores);
- Floss threads (for finishing edges on some products).
Creating flowers from felt is very simple, because this material is quite pliable to work with. It is particularly dense and thick. Most often on sale are multi-colored felt sheets with a thickness of 2-2.5 millimeters and a size of 30x40 centimeters. Slightly less common are sheets measuring 20x30 centimeters with a thickness of 4 millimeters. You can choose any option you like or create a new one, because handmade products are always exclusive.
Patterns and templates
To create flowers from felt, you can choose completely different color patterns
You can make voluminous flowers from such patterns

A huge number of patterns can be found in specialized stores and online catalogues. Most often these are simple, uncomplicated shapes that even a beginner can sew. But if you wish, you can choose a more complex pattern, for example, for a multi-layered flower.
