Introduction

Are you looking for a fun and creative DIY project to brighten up your home? Felt sunflowers are a wonderful way to add a touch of sunshine to your decor. In this blog post, we'll guide you through the step-by-step process of making your own felt sunflowers using FabricLA's premium felt fabric. Whether you're a seasoned crafter or a beginner, this project is perfect for anyone looking to create beautiful and lasting decorations.

Materials Needed

Before we get started, gather the following materials:

• FabricLA's premium felt fabric in yellow, brown, and green
• Scissors
• Hot glue gun and glue sticks
• Floral wire
• A pen or fabric marker

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cutting the Petals: Start by cutting out petal shapes from the yellow felt fabric. You'll need about 8-12 petals per sunflower. Make sure the petals are roughly the same size for a uniform look.

2. Creating the Center: Cut a circle from the brown felt fabric to form the center of the sunflower. This circle should be slightly larger than the base of the petals.

3. Assembling the Flower: Using the hot glue gun, attach the petals around the edge of the brown felt circle. Layer the petals slightly on top of each other to create a full, lush look.

4. Adding the Stem: Cut a piece of floral wire to your desired stem length. Glue one end of the wire to the back of the brown felt circle. For added stability, you can glue a small piece of felt over the wire.

5. Making the Leaves: Cut leaf shapes from the green felt fabric. Attach the leaves to the floral wire stem using hot glue.

6. Finishing Touches: Allow all the glue to dry completely. Once dry, you can bend and shape the petals and leaves to give your sunflower a more natural appearance.
