Instructions for the Sunflower Felt Craft

Step 1

Select yellow, light brown, and dark brown felt for the sunflower craft. Trace the petal patterns on the yellow felt, the strips on the brown felts (1 strip on each), and trace the round base pattern on any colored felt fabric. Cut out the traced felt.

Step 2

Grab any one of the petal cutouts and create a slight crease on either sides of the petal’s tip. Apply glue on the tip to secure the crease. Similarly create and secure creases on the rest of the petals.

Step 3

Grab any one of the strips and fold them into half lengthwise. Cut small and even fringes along the closed side of the folded strip. Similarly, prepare the other felt strip.

Step 4

Take the base cut-out and place it on a flat surface. Glue 3 petals on the base criss-cross wise. Make sure to keep the creased end inside the base.

Step 5

Now glue 1 petal between every 2 petals on the base. Each layer of the felt sunflower will have 8 petals.

Step 6

For the next layer glue the rest of the 8 petals slightly towards the center of the base.

Step 7

Grab the fringed and folded felt strips. Roll the light brown strip first and then roll the dark brown strip around it. Apply glue at the end of the rolls to secure them.
