What You Need

Needed Items
*scissors
*paper and 5 quarters (to make the template)
*lots of colors of felt (make sure you get yellow for the flower center)
*needle and thread
*hot glue gun
*hair clips, or pins for the backing

Create Template

Make the template. You need a five petal flower. If like me, you can't freehand anything, quarters work greeeaat!

Cut Out Pattern

Cut 4 flowers (per hair clip) and 2 yellow circles for the center.

Create Flower

The Tough part. O.k, not really.
It's just like folding a cardboard box, but with felt, and fake petals.

Create Flower Part 2

When its all folded, it should look like this...one half of each petal should be showing.

Sew

Sew all petals together.

Sew Yellow Circles

Sew both yellow circles together

Sew Flower Center Onto Flower

Sew flower center onto flower.
Make sure to only sew through the first layer of the center.
You don't want to see the stitches.

Hot Glue Backing On

Hot glue a hair clip or a pin to the back of the flower.

Your Done!

Make a lot so they match all your outfits,
then wear them around and look so so cute.
