Bird’s Eye D.I.Y.: Felt Flower Tutorial

January 3, 2014 Comments : 2

So I finally got around to dressing my naked wreath for winter. I mean it’s been sitting on the door without an ounce of welcome the whole season, but better late than never right? I absolutely love felt flowers, but have had a hard time really finding good tutorials. So I did some searching of my own and found a few paper flower ones that I altered and also sat down and created my own tutorial. The basis of any flower creation really is the technique and looking at how flowers are created is extremely helpful too! Hope you make many flowers and use this template as well that I created for various flower shapes!


You will need the following:

  • Felt (of your choice)
  • Scissors
  • Template (petal and center)
  • Hot Glue gun
 Step 1: Trace and cut the petal template. You will need approximately 20 petals depending on the size.
Step 2: Next trace and cut out 1 center.

 Step 3: Roll the center circle and place a nice bead of hot glue at the crease.

 The center should look like this.

 Step4: You are going to take one of your petals and wrap it on one side of the center. Leave a stem so that you can work from there (picture shown after next). Use another bead of glue to adhere.

 Step 5: Take another petal and wrap the other side – it is okay that the petals overlap. Use another bead of glue to adhere.

 Your center now should look like this.
Take a look at the stem I’ve created so it’s easier to hold.

Step 6: You’re now going to begin adding petals. You can place them in the spaces between the prior row.

 The petals will overlap as you continue, be sure to secure the sides of each petal with glue.
Your flower is beginning to take shape!

Step 7: Once you are pleased with how your flower looks, cut the stem!
You can add the flowers to a fun bouquet or even make a broach, it really is your choice! I added mine to my wreath.

Happy flower making!

Since December we have been practicing how to rest Since December we have been practicing how to rest as a family - real soul rest and it’s been life giving.

On Friday evenings we cook together and disconnect. Last weekend we made this challah bread and it was delicious! Mike and I look through new recipes to prep for our time. This recipe is on the blog!

Slowing down last year taught us how unhealthy being “busy” and doing more was for us individually, as a family, and even for our kids. We were functioning in rhythms that may have appeared to be beneficial - but had negative side effects. 

2020 allowed us to refocus and shift. Mike and I knew God desires for our home to benefit most - because it’s our first ministry. 

Family rhythms look unique to you and I pray yours is reaping the best it can this week ♥️ #familyrhythms #familyisourfirstministry

Follow Me... Through the gospels I see Jesus call Follow Me...

Through the gospels I see Jesus calling for people to follow him. Not to a program or an event - but the opportunity to watch him live life in Spirit and in Truth. Live in a way that brought each person closer to God not the creeds of religion. 

I remember the last few years of full time ministry for me how a mentor of mine challenged me to reevaluate how I was on boarding/leading people to Jesus. How was I teaching others to see Christ more than a method or strategy.

That work is different.

It’s also life giving. 

As I continue to read through the scriptures I’m reminded to clarify don’t follow me. JOIN me as I follow Christ and we’ll walk, grow, fail, and learn from Him together.

If we all saw each other as fellow students rather than how we believe our gifts elevate ourselves over one another. 

“The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher.” Luke‬ ‭6:40‬ #readwithme30
