Helpful Tips:
What kind of felt do you use for DIY felt roses?
How much felt do you need to make a felt rose?
With a regular sheet of felt (9 x 12 inches) you can make 2 full roses and have enough left to make 1/2 of another rose. This craft is perfect for using up scraps of leftover felt!
What size felt roses does this make?
These roses are about 2-1/4 inches across and 1-1/2 inches tall. We cut the stems to be about 8 inches long, but you can make them however short or long you want. We traced a circle with a 1-1/2 inch diameter to make our petals. If you’d like to make smaller flowers (or a larger rose), simply start with a different size of petal.
What’s the best way to cut out the felt rose petals?
We found it easiest to make one petal template from a thick paper and then hold it in place while cutting. But you do have to be careful that the template doesn’t move around as you cut. If you’re having trouble keeping the template steady, you can also trace the circles on the felt with a chalk tracing pencil or an erasable fabric pen. Regular gel pens also draw nicely on felt, but you have to make sure you cut inside the pen markings since you don’t want pen showing on your petals.
What can you do with DIY felt roses?
These DIY felt roses look so pretty as a bouquet in vase or mason jar. But you can also make the roses without a stem, simply by rolling the first petal around itself instead of around the wire. These stemless felt roses look super cute as part of a flower crown or as an ornament for a barrette, hair clips, or a headband. You can also glue them onto a picture frame or use them as a gift topper!
These DIY felt roses are SO EASY to make! Glue felt petals together around wire to create these beautiful flowers. Make a homemade bouquet in a single colour, or make all kinds of roses in red, pink, white, yellow, and more!
