mini scalloped felt flowers


Another felt flower! These are easy and so cute. I made them by first cutting out flowers with my Go Baby! Rose of Sharon die. 

You could cut a flower shape out by hand easily, too. Mine were about 3" wide.


Then I started cutting a spiral shape like so...


Continue til you get to the middle, ending with a little circular shape.


Then starting with the outside end, glue and roll toward the inside.


Continue gluing and rolling...


...then at the end tuck and glue the little circular shape. Tada!



A finished little rosette!



I added three to a headband, and they also look really sweet on clips!



**Also, a few people asked where I got my elastic headbands-I found them at the dollar store awhile ago! Hope this helps!

**I used a plain old hot glue gun for the gluing!

you inspired me to drag out the glue gun. yesterday I used felt scraps from cutting out garland circles and made my daughter a rose headband. she was stoked. it could use some improvements, but you have to start somewhere!

Your flowers continue to amaze me. I'm not usually a flower-power person but now I want a dress with lots and lots of flower buttons ;)

Thanks for such an easy-to-follow tutorial. I just made some of these on little barrettes, for friends' Christmas gifts. I feel kind of blasphemous for admitting it, but I love that they DON'T look homemade. Like, they don't look like a drunk kid made them, you know?

Thank you for this tutorial! I am currently making headbands for my wee girls Samantha (2) and Penelope (newborn) and my rolled roses finally look the way I would like thanks to your guidance! Have a fabulous day :-)

Hi, this might be a silly question, but did you use felt? or is that flannel? -LLS
