I received several emails asking me how I made the brown flowers on my Fall Wreath. Sorry for the delay, but I’m finally posting the tutorial on how to make them.
I’m going to show you two ways to make these. I’ve placed them side by side to show you how each flower will turn out depending on the method you use.
First take your felt and cut it into strips about 1.5inches wide. I didn’t use the 8.5X11 felt sheets for the yellow one. The strip for my yellow flower was approximately 1.5in wide by 20in long.
Fold it in half and glue the corner together
Then cut slits half way down the folded strip.
For the yellow flower all you’re basically doing is rolling and gluing as you go.
Then for the cream flower cut out a felt circle and glue your strip onto it.
I forgot to take a picture of the next step. But at this point you just grab your second strip that’s already been cut and start where you left off. Continue to go around the circle until you get to the center (cut off any excess).
As you can see there’s quite a difference in shape depending on which method you use. I personally like the messy feel the yellow flower has. I’m thinking these are going to make great Christmas present bows this year.
I hope you found this Flower Tutorial helpful. Let me know if you have any questions :)

I think these are just fantastic. I'd like to try them using multiple colors for a layered effect. Found you on Simply Designing.

Thanks for this, I've always wanted to know how to make these and just couldn't figure it out.
Those are really cute flowers. I've never seen that kind before. I can't decide which style I like better, I guess I'll just have to try them both. :)
These are adorable! I can think of so many ways to use these for Christmas presents!! Thanks so much for showing how to make them!
Cute flower and a great tutorial. I stumbled the post too.
What a fresh spin on felt flowers! I really like the look of the yellow one. Thanks for the tutorial, I'm pinning it!

Way cool!! They look like they'd be hard!! I'm gonna have to try! Are these methods best with felt or can you use fabric too?
Pinning right now girl!
