Folded Petals Tutorial

I love using wool felt to make flowers, but I really like my flowers to have some dimension.  Flat flowers just don't seem as happy to me!  I found a way to make a pretty popped up flower and it's super simple too!  Thought I'd share it with you...

You'll need-

6 felt circles (5 for the flower, 1 for the base)

scissors

hot glue gun

pretty button

pinback or bobby pin if you wish

I even made a smaller one for a necklace...

These are so fun to make and really have a unique look. 

 I hope you make them and love them as much as I do!
