How do I make felt flower wall art?
Follow these step-by-step instructions to craft felt flower wall artwork:
- Make the color blocks: Sketch three lines on the wooden board, separating them into 3 segments. Then, paint the segments grey, white, and pink, covering the board’s edges, too. While waiting for the paint to dry, proceed to the next step.
- Prepare the felt flower elements: Sketch a leaf, a rounded petal, and a pointy petal on cardstock and cut them out to use as templates. Use the leaf template to cut 6 green felt pieces, the pointy petal for 12 turquoise felt pieces, and the rounded petal for 10 purple, pink, and beige felt pieces.
- Make the roses: Take a pointy felt petal, fold it lengthwise, and glue it in place. Next, glue the remaining 11 pointy petals around the first one in a spiral to create a pointy rose. Repeat the process with the pink and purple rose petals.
- Make the felt daisy: Cut a long strip of grey felt and make small cuts to create fringes. Then add hot glue to the yellow pom-pom and roll the grey felt fringe around it to make the center of the daisy. Next, add the beige petals around the pom-pom, placing them in layers.
- Make a hanger: Cut a long strip of lace ribbon; the longer the ribbon, the lower the artwork will hang. Then add hot glue to both ends and glue the ribbon to the back of the wooden board.
- Assemble all elements: Add hot glue to the undersides of the 4 flowers and place them on the wooden board next to each other. FInally, glue the felt leaves around the bundled flowers. Your DIY felt flower wall art is now ready for display!
