Sewn Petals felt flower

Tutorial #2 for the day!
This is a felt flower that I made. It can also be purchased on my Etsy site http://www.etsy.com/shop/AmiciBello  my daughter LOVES this flower!

Supplies:
Felt for flower
Felt for base
Petal template
Fabric pen
Thread
needle
scissors
Bead or button for center

Cut three petal sizes, small medium & large. I'll find the template I used and try to add it. Cut out your template now cut 6 petals in each size. I drew them out on my felt with a fabric pen. When your done making the flower just put a little water on it and the pen marks DISAPPEAR.

 After you have cutout your petals get your needle and thread ready. Now starting with the largest petals first  fold over each side inward and pinch all together and sew through the layers and down into the base felt. Continue you this with all 6 large petals sewing them together.

Now do the middle layer and the top layer! Then take the button or bead you have chosen and sew it into the middle! Then gently run your flower under your faucet and watch the blue pen marks disappear :-).  You can then line a hair clip and hot glue it to the back of your flower and place it in your hair. Now grab your swim suits and go take a dip! That's where I'm headed this afternoon ;-). I'll post us making home made play dough later on today.

XOXO,
