4 Basic Methods

Felt flowers are usually made by one of four basic techniques - some use a combination of them.The effect of creating a particular flower (rose, mums, peony, daisy, etc) is achieved by shaping or cutting the top of the felt petals in different ways.

These methods are;

Rolled - the flower is made by rolling and glueing or sewing a felt strip - cut in a spiral, a straight line or a straight piece which is folded and then rolled.

Petal by Petal - these flowers are built up by attaching individual petals, either to each other or to a base. The petals can be simple circles or squares or all sorts of fancier shapes.

Folded - Several felt circles with plain or fancy edges (some with deeply cut petals) are folded in half and quarter and then attached together at the bottom points to create a flower.

Flat - This technique involves cutting felt flower shapes in several sizes and then stacking them in order largest on the bottom, smallest on the top. They are sewn or glued together usually through the center.
