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!

As I reflect on today, I’m most thankful that be As I reflect on today, I’m most thankful that because of the work done for social justice and continuously happening now, there are resources to celebrate diversity.

Growing up there were 2 options for hair - having “good hair” or achieving “good” hair through relaxers. Natural hair was reserved for mixed girls who had bouncy curls and length. I constantly wished to be “that” mixed girl, instead of seeing the gorgeousness of who I am.

Developing the confidence to love all of me and the hair that I have took years. Lots of tears and redefining beauty. 

I’m so grateful that our boys don’t have to wish for anything other than who they are. Being able to celebrate beautiful natural hair in all its texture has built confidence in them that’s priceless. 

So today I’m celebrating and thanking @youngkinghaircare for making even more space to diversify natural hair for little kings like mine. To remind them that there is value in exactly who they are ♥️ and WE SEE YOU!! 

The ability to find these hair products on storefront shelves now in Target is beyond amazing for our family. 

If you haven’t checked them out - PLEASE DO!! We love the product and the family behind it! #makedreamsreal #naturalhairboys
If we can gift our kids anything - quality time ov If we can gift our kids anything - quality time overrides it all.

Staying intentionally present and less annoyed at the little things. Also taking out my Nikon more this month 📷

In just a few months we’ll be celebrating 10 yea In just a few months we’ll be celebrating 10 years.

I love who we are today, because of how we committed to growing/learning through the last nine years. 

Working on ourselves has made room to see the worth and value of us together. 

Expecting your partner to be everything, fix everything, and fill everything - will leave you with nothing. For me to be at my best I have learned that space and role is reserved for Christ.

Releasing those expectations, owning your growth, and finding ourselves deeper in Jesus continues to be our glue. 

That and lots of random 😏 time... these kids didn’t show up on their own. #ourownmarriagegoals
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
