Sorry it has been such a long, long time that I have come up with any new tutorials. Lets just say life and family things got busy...but it is a new year and I want to start it off good. What better way to start off then with an easy felt flower tutorial? I love felt and flowers so here we go. Supplies: Hot glue gun 1/8 of a yard felt Scissors Printer Print out the pattern below. (Use the scale to make sure the print out is the correct size). Cut the felt so you have 4 of each size petal.

As far as the odd 1.75 circle that is left the color can be either one because it is the backer to attach the flower to the headband. Holding the two largest circles together, cut slits all around the edge to create a fringe affect. Repeat this step with two of the 2.25 and 1.75 circles.  Put a dab of hot glue in the center of on of the larger circles. Place the other large circ...
