Handmade products amaze with their beauty and decorativeness. They allow you to emphasize your individuality and subtle taste. Intricate details add conciseness and ease.

Flowers made from felt are especially popular among needlewomen. They are used as decorative details. These miniature flower arrangements look great as brooches.

The manufacturing technology of such a product is quite simple. How to make felt flowers correctly? Our material will help you understand this.

Basic characteristics of felt

Felt is a thin felt fabric. It is excellent for the production of clothing and furniture. The dense base has a soft surface that adds a bit of comfort. Recently, it has been used to decorate various types of surfaces.

They are used to decorate the covers of albums, books, boxes, hair jewelry and accessories. Environmentally friendly products are used to produce felt fabric. Mostly it is goat or rabbit hair.

If synthetic compounds were used in the manufacture of felt, then convex areas will appear on the surface.

Making felt flowers with your own hands at home is quite simple. The material is highly deformable. It can be purchased at any craft department.

There is a huge selection of sizes on sale. The smallest is 30-45 cm. The thickness of the textile reaches about 2 mm. A wide color palette allows you to choose the desired shade.

What types of flowers are made from felt?

Many needlewomen ask the question: “What flowers can be made from felt?” We offer several interesting ideas and templates for beginning craftswomen. The production technology includes simple elements. This type of activity is ideal for joint creativity with preschoolers.

Here are some beautiful color options. Most often, roses, daisies, and poppies are made from this material. The soft texture of the fabric allows you to add texture and smooth lines to the future product. Before you start making flowers, you need to figure out what parts the composition will consist of.

The blank for poppies is based on a circle. Two methods have been developed for the production of this model. In the first case, the lateral borders of the round base are carefully cut towards the center. The edges are finished with a seam over the edge.

In the second method, the circle is divided into several elements. In the future they will act as petals. Next, they are connected to each other using a thread and a needle.

A small circle is also used to produce chrysanthemums. To create many petals, it is folded in half and cut into thin ribbons. After that they are sewn to the center. The result is a realistic imitation of a living plant. The photo of felt flowers shows the best options for needlework.

Felt hair accessories

Surely every girl wants to have accessories of exclusive design. Modern materials make it possible to turn any fantasy into reality. We offer detailed instructions on how to make decorative flowers. They are ideal for decorating hair, bags and clothing.

Let's start with the simplest option - a headband with felt decor. Volumetric flowers on this accessory add charm and femininity.

Handmade will never go out of style. A thing made with your own hands will have no analogues, thereby emphasizing your delicate taste.

We bring to your attention a master class on making flowers from felt. To make jewelry we will need:

• scissors;
• felt of different colors;
• templates;
• threads;
• needle;
• plastic rim;
• glue;
• faceted beads;
• a simple pencil;
• thin beige ribbon.

Let's start the work process. It consists of several stages:

1. Our hair accessory will be decorated with roses. For this we need a wave-shaped template. We trace the pattern on the surface of the felt. Next, cut out the required part.
2. We begin to twist one end to the other. During the manufacturing process, we carefully form the petals. We begin to stitch the resulting element in the area of ​​the lower section. We make a few more parts using the same technology.

Let's move on to the surface of the rim. We wrap it with ribbon. Before you start winding, you need to lubricate one end with a small amount of glue. In the future, this will extend the service life of the product.

The final step will be to fix the flower arrangement on the headband. To do this, generously lubricate the bottom edge with adhesive. After this, we attach the floral decoration anywhere. When the decoration is tightly secured, we begin to sew small beads.

Making flowers from felt is not difficult, and it takes little time to create

This is not difficult to do, and it takes little time to create flowers. And as a bonus, we'll look at an example of creating a felt topiary.

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

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.

Purple color is the trend of the season

The beauty of felt is that it is very pliable and therefore easy to work with. The edges of the felt do not fray and do not require special processing. And the density of the fabric allows you to form different flowers from it, which hold their shape perfectly. We hope you will see this for yourself!

A felt flower is a wonderful decorative element that will be useful for many occasions. From such crafts you can create a wonderful bouquet for interior decoration. If these plants are made without legs, sew them onto any item of clothing, adding elegance to it.

Also, with their help, it is quite possible to decorate gift packaging in an original way, making the present even more enjoyable. You can list the areas of application of this craft for a very long time - from designing postcards to improving headbands and hair clips. Therefore, information on their creation will be useful to any fan of handmade.

What do we need?

You can make felt flowers with your own hands using the following materials:

Paper for creating a pattern;

Beads or beads to make the core;

Scissors;

Needle with thread;

Actually felt.

You will also need a well-sharpened utility knife or an old blade.

Operating technique

First of all, print or draw a pattern yourself with the contours of the future flower. You can create buds of any size and variety - it all depends on your imagination and handicraft skills.

If you are going to use the workpiece in electronic form, you can first adjust its parameters to the intended craft. Increase or decrease the image radius on your computer before using the printer.

For example, to decorate a holiday card or photo album, details up to two and a half centimeters wide will be enough. And for clothes or gift box design, you can increase this figure several times. When choosing the parameters of the workpiece, also take into account the fact that during sewing it will shrink even more.

Manufacturing secrets

In order for you to get a neat felt flower, the pattern must adhere securely to the material. Safety pins are useful to secure it. After securing the design, go along its outline with scissors to make petal blanks.

You can also cut out the middle. A stationery knife or blade will come in handy for this purpose. If you are not armed with these tools in advance, manicure accessories that will cope with this task just as well can be a worthy replacement.

A felt flower is formed as follows. Pull the thread through the eye of the needle and sew the two halves of the petal together using a couple of small stitches. This way you will make it three-dimensional by achieving a natural convexity of the edges and making a depression in the center.

Do this operation with each sector of the workpiece to give life to the entire composition. You don’t have to touch the central part - leave a small hole for the future middle of the bead.

What to do with the core?

When you make flowers from felt, the master class recommends using large beautiful glass or plastic balls to decorate their centers. Buttons can serve as a good replacement. Whatever fittings you choose, it must match well in color with the main material and look original.

If you cut a central hole that is too large in your craft, a button can perfectly close it. It, unlike a bead, will not fall into a hole. Each felt flower in the composition must have a core designed according to the same principle, so that when combined they all look harmonious.

No to washing!

The material you work with retains its shape perfectly. But such crafts still cannot be washed. Before throwing a blouse decorated in this way into the water, be sure to rip your creation away from it, and then return it to its place again when the clothes are dry.

Or simply attach crafts to things using a regular small pin that can be broken off at any time. And gift boxes, decorative toys, bouquets and panels are an ideal option for using these products, since they do not need to be washed.

Making a rose from felt

Hand-made felt flowers are indispensable helpers for decorating certain things. They look great on bags, clothes and hair clips. And roses made from this material look great as part of an artificial bouquet. There are many different options for creating them.

Familiarize yourself with the basic steps of the work, and then get creative. You can diversify your creation as much as you like using beads, sequins, ribbons and other accessories. But first, learn the basics of the job.

How to make a flower from felt? Each plant has its own characteristics, which consist mainly in the form of the desired pattern. And the principles of work are the same for everyone. Using the example of creating a rose, you can master the necessary technique and vary it depending on the result you want to get.

So, to make a bud, take felt of the chosen color, lay it flat on the work surface (on the table, floor or other place where it is convenient for you). Cut a strip 20 centimeters long and 6 centimeters wide. Fold it in half lengthwise and cut one of the ends of the fabric along a diagonal line. Then go around the entire perimeter with a line of a simple basting stitch.

To form a felt flower, grab the previously cut edge of the strip. Start rolling the fabric into a roll. Do not forget to hold the emerging bud near the base so that the workpiece does not fall apart.

It is also necessary to stitch the folded fabric as you apply one layer to another. To make more voluminous petals, pull the tip of the thread used to sew the stitching. This way you will achieve curling of the fabric from the core.

Once you have twisted the entire strip, secure the rose with a couple of strong stitches at the base. Make sure that the thread is not visible from the outside.

Making leaves

Felt flowers, photos of which look no worse than real-life crafts, will become even better if you decorate them with leaves. For this you will need green material. Cut out the necessary contours from it. You don't have to make teeth along the edges of the shapes, because they form on their own during the fixing process.

Your next step is to sew the leaf to the bottom of the bud using a seam that goes over the edge. It is thanks to him that teeth form along the edges on the green part.

Felt flowers, photos of which make it possible to understand their diversity, are also placed on legs. To do this, use a piece of strong wire. Wrap its surface with green ribbon or thread and attach the part to the bud. Very beautiful and durable bouquets are made from such roses.

A few words about application

A felt flower, the pattern and work on which is very simple but interesting, is a godsend for any craftswoman. You can make an interesting brooch out of it. To do this, sew a special fastener to the base of the bud. Since it has two holes designated for this purpose, it must be fixed according to the same principle as an ordinary button.

Hot glue is useful for decorating hoops and hairpins. It will perfectly fix the craft on the base, and it will decorate your hair day after day. These crafts are suitable for any items of clothing and accessories. They are able to give new life to old things, making them even better, and your image even brighter.

Handmade products are valued much higher than mass-produced goods. Unfortunately, few people like to do needlework, as they consider it painstaking work that requires free time. That is why we decided to put together simple master classes for you on making flowers from felt. Now you can make beautiful jewelry yourself, and you don’t have to know how to sew well or have any other skills. Not only adults, but also children can make light crafts from felt.

The beauty of flowers delights everyone, which is probably why it is so often copied using various materials. There are flowers made of cold porcelain, which are very difficult to distinguish from real ones, flowers made of plastic, salt dough, and lace. Today we will talk about flowers made from felt.

The peculiarity of this material is that it holds its shape and volume well, does not wrinkle, has a beautiful fleecy surface and is easy to work with. Therefore, creating decorations and toys from felt is quite convenient.

Today we will offer you two completely different techniques for creating felt flowers.

DIY felt flowers - option No. 1

What you will need:

• felt,
• scissors,
• pencil,
• glue or thread with a needle.

First, you need to cut a circle out of a piece of felt. You can make it absolutely any size. The larger the intended flower, the larger the circle should be. It is not necessary to cut it perfectly straight; small curves will only make your flower look like natural, fresh flowers.

Draw a spiral on the felt with a pencil and cut the material with scissors, moving along the spiral.

The middle of the material must be carefully rolled and secured. You can use glue or sew the core with thread.

Carefully glue the end under the base of the flower.

This flower can be used to create a brooch or a beautiful hairpin. If you take curly scissors, you will get a flower with an unusual edge.

You can decorate the headband with several similar flowers. Look what beauty can be made from these felt flowers.

DIY felt flowers - option No. 2

What you will need:

• felt (size 25x20),
• cup,
• padding polyester,
• threads with a needle,
• Super glue,
• scissors,
• scissors.

First you need to cut out 5 circles using a glass. You can choose absolutely any size. We got circles with a diameter of 6 centimeters.

Take the first circle and fold it in half. You need to sew the petal along the edge with an even stitch.

Don't cut the thread. You need to tighten it so that it doesn't tear. You will get a beautiful petal.

We also fold the next circles and stitch them with the same thread, without tearing or cutting it. We collect all the petals in one circle and sew the first and last petals at the very base.

Now you need to make one more blank. Cut the pieces slightly smaller. If the main circles were 6 centimeters in diameter, then the second circles should be about 4 centimeters in diameter. Each of them also needs to be folded in half and swept. Form a petal by pulling the thread. Do the same with all the petals. Then form a circle of petals and secure it with threads.

You will also need another circle. Its diameter should be about three and a half centimeters. This circle will become the center of the flower. It needs to be swept around the perimeter.

Pull the thread lightly. You want the circle to curl up, but leave a small space. It is through this hole that you insert the padding polyester into the core of the flower (very little of it will be needed). Tighten the circle and sew tightly with thread.

Now you need to connect all the parts. First, sew the center to the circle of small petals. Then we attach the resulting part to a circle of large petals.

Your flower is ready.

You can create completely different flowers by adjusting the thread tension and the number of petals. You can combine colors and sizes of petals. Some people prefer to copy natural flowers, while others invent absolutely incredible and fantastic plants.

This flower will make an excellent brooch. Felt flowers can also be used to decorate clothes and accessories. You can make a beautiful painting using such flowers.
