Tutorial: Felt Roses

Hi y'all!  As a continuation of our MayFlowers event, today I'm going to teach you how to make a felt rose.

Roses can be classic and sophisticated when made in natural colors, or fun and spunky if made with unnatural ones, making them perfect accents for everyone's lives.  Try an unusual color like purple and put it on a hair clip or brooch to make a fashion statement.   Or use them as decorations.  Make enough of them to cover a heart-shaped wreath, or stick a few of them tightly into a box like this:

I think a bouquet of them would make a really nice addition to a little girl's dress up set to go with a play wedding dress.  With so many options, you'll want to make hundreds.  And I've got good news for you.  They're super simple to make and it only takes a few minutes.  So let's get started.  Read on after the jump for the tutorial.

Tutorial: Scrap Fabric Carnation

I'll try not to put a bunch of hubbub as a prequel to this tutorial since you probably already read this post about it a few days back.  This scrap fabric flower tutorial is super simple and a fun way to decorate a hair piece or other item.  So let's just jump right in!

Scrap Fabric Flowers

Hi everyone!  I've missed you. :)

Now that I'm back from my familial escapades, I have a bunch of stuff I want to share with you, but I'm going to try to keep it one topic per post. :)  So what's first?  Fabric flowers!

After making some fabric flowers a couple weeks back, I decided to make my own scrap fabric flower tutorial.  Here's the flower I came up with (I'll share the tutorial soon!):

I think it looks a little like a peony, but it could be any generic flower, I guess. When I was finished, I attached the fabric flowers to hair pieces.  I did a headband...

...and two hair clips.

I'm in the process of writing a tutorial for this.  Plus, I've got a bunch of other scrap fabric flowers in the works, so stay tuned!  Until then, happy crafting!
