How to Make Felt Poppies
These cute flowers are super easy to make, and they’re a great gift to give with an invitation to your Garden Getaway retreat. Or use them on a headband, as a bow on a gift—wherever you need a little pizzazz!
Supplies
- red felt for the Poppy
- ½ to 1 inch buttons
- hot glue gun
- clothes pins
- scissors
- 1” pin back
Instructions
- Take your felt and cut out 6 circles that are the same size (about 3 inches) and 1 smaller circle (about 2 inches) It works best to use something like a jar or a cup to trace the shapeof a circle on your felt before cutting!
- Take one felt circle and fold in half. While holding the felt in half, apply a drop of hot glue to the inside center and pinch with a clothes pin.
- Keep holding the half circle and fold forward one third, then add another drop of glue in the corner and pinch together.
- Flip the circle around and fold the opposite side of the felt toward the back and glue. If you look from the top, it should form an “S” shape.
- Repeat steps #1-4 to make 6 petals total.
- Place each petal on top of the smaller felt circle so it looks like a flower. Once they are placed, glue each petal to the smaller circle.
- Take a button and glue it down in the center.
- Put hot glue on back of 1” pin back and place on the back of the flower.
- Let cool.
- Enjoy!
