Felt Flower Pins

Well today I was inspired to do some kind of craft..no not a Christmas craft, more of something for me! I have seen these cute little flower pins in a few stores and just love them! Added to a sweater, jacket or a hat I think they are adorable. I saw an old post on another blog about making them (if you know the blog let me know I want to give them credit) and thought I want to try that. They turned out sooo cute and I can't wait to wear them (not all together) just thought I should clear that up.

Here is what you will need:
A flower template (I made my own) 5 petals
Glue gun
Felt (one piece will do 1 rosette)
Pins

That's it..let's get started!

Cut a template..I just freehanded mine


Cut 7 pieces from your felt square and 1 circle (this will be the base)


Fold in half twice and snip the end off to make it flat


Hot glue onto the base around the edge first and then the middle


After all 7 have been glued turn it over and glue your pin on the back


The finished product! Snip the ends to even it up if you would like


I made all 5 of these in a short amount of time and it cost me about $1.00 a piece


Added to a cute black sweater! Loove it!!


Just adds a little extra to a simple jacket..
I hope you have been inspired to make something pretty!! Have a wonderful Christmas!

  1. Hey, I'm glad you stopped by my blog, I love new visitors. I must say after seeing your way too cute blog that we might just be kindred spirits girlfriend. Hahaha. I have been wanting to make some of those felt flowers that you did so beautifully, and I also made a coffee filter wreath this year. Too funny! I hope you have a very Merry Christmas.
