Flower Power

October has come (my lovely birth month ;) and here I am felting some more ornaments, this time I had flowers in mind and the end result is something that I really like.

As I mentioned before, felting is really growing on me and I think that in the near future I will be felting more than just ornaments. But still, I like those tiny and adorable little stuffed cuties which can be hung on the wall, above a baby's crib, on a Christmas tree, or maybe to decorate the trees in the garden!

These flower ornaments are so easy to make if you follow the guide, but if you are feeling lazy and would like to order some ready made, please visit my shop at jaidasjoyfulcrafts.littlemajlis.com

You will need:

Felt, 5 squares size 18x18 cm (handwashable), choose shades of pink, brown, yellow, off-white

Flowers template (google: flower templates) or you can create your own

Scissors

Thin ribbons for hanging

Sewing needle

Embroidery floss, I used Madeira Mouline sticktwist six strand floss, col 507 (light pink)

Threads of colours matching with felt

Pins

Fiber filling (for batting)

Step 1: Attach template and felt with pins, using scissors cut a circle (make 2). I used a jar lid for the circle template.

Step 2: hand sew the contoured layers of felt which make a flower to one of the circles using thread colour of choice.

Step 3: machine or hand sew the ribbon to the inner side of the circle's back layer.

Step 4: Using embroidery floss, hand sew the two circles of the ornament together using a blanket stitch. Make sure you leave part un-sewn so that you can fill your ornament with fiber stuffing, then continue sewing till the end.

This is how your ornament will look like.

You can always decorate your ornaments with beads and buttons, the possibilities are endless.

Happy crafting! :)
