Felt isn’t just for sewing projects! You can embellish just about anything with felt. One of my favorite felt embellishments to use is felt flowers. I’ve got a couple of video tutorials today to show you how to create felt flowers.

Supplies:

• Eco-fi Plus™ Premium Felt in the colors of your choice.  (You can now find an expanded color line of Kunin Eco-fi Classicfelt; Eco-fiPlus™ Premiumfelt and ShaggiChic non-wovens fabrics in cut by the yard at your local Walmart; please inquire as to what is available in your area.)
• Embroidery thread to match the felt.
• Basic sewing supplies.
• Buttons for flower centers.

To create sweet little flower buds, watch this video.

To create larger flowers, watch this video.

Once you have your flowers created there’s no end to what you can use them for. I used both styles to great a dreamy, Provence-style menu board. I simply painted a wood board with acrylic and chalkboard paints, stenciled it, then glued a large, felt flower at the top of the board, and a few of the felt flower buds at the bottom. Wouldn’t it be cute on an Easter buffet?

Here’s a bonus project-make a little felt eraser for Menu Blackboard-you can get the tutorial here.

What craft projects will you use our felt flowers for?
