It doesn't make sense to pay fifty cents a piece. when you can stock up on it and wait for it to go on sale at Joanne's for twenty cents a piece, I'll also use 18 pieces of black pipe cleaners and one of the plastic dollar

tree

chargers

. I'm going to start with this DIY. taking a plain sheet of paper because I'm making a template. If you've been following me for a while, you know I like templates. Making a template makes DI wine much easier. I'm going to fold my copy paper. in half now I have this pin here on the side of the fold that I'm going to take and just freehand a petal a big petal the size of the paper now don't worry too much about perfection you can see mine is nowhere near perfect , you can always alter the size in the shape when you cut it like I'm doing here.

I'm not going to follow the line because I can see that I didn't really like the shape, so I'm just going to cut it out and shape it while I cut some more and there we just made a template for a large flower petal by folding the paper in half , you only have to worry about making one side and then when you cut it. you have a symmetrical petal and that makes it a lot easier now, taking our felt. I'm going to do pretty much the same thing with the felt that I did with the copy paper.

I'm going to fold it in half and then I'm going to place my template on top of my felt along the side where the fold is and trace it, then I'm just going to cut it out and do this with the 18 pieces of the copper belt that I'm going to use. the pipe cleaner to give each of the petals a little sturdiness so they stay firm, so I'm going to cut them to the right size by just cutting about an inch and a half off the pipe cleaner and then I'm going to take a little bit of hot glue and I'm going to put it on the along one side of the pipe cleaner and I'm going to hot glue it to the back of the felt now, when I hot glued the pipe cleaner down, I didn't do it directly in the center along This bottom edge here I put it to the side, so don't do it in the center because we're going to fold the bottom of our flower to give it some dimension and if the pipe cleaner is right under the center you're not going to be able to hold it, so once I folded it I just glued it on heat to keep it in place and here we just made a felt flower with our pipe cleaner and it will allow our petals to stand up and again I will do this with the 18 pieces of copper felt, which will give us 18 flower petals.
The beige felt will be the center of our flower, so I'll fold it in half so I can cut it out. The half gives me two equal pieces, then I am going to fold each of the pieces in half lengthwise and I am gluing the two places with hot glue and on the folded side of the beige felt I am going to cut slits along the entire length of each one of the two pieces using a little bit of hot glue I'm going to place the hot glue on this bottom edge here and I'm going to start rolling with my strength and I'm going to continue rolling.
I'm going to add both strips together where one ends I'm going to pick it up with the next strip. I started to realize that two pieces weren't going to be enough for the center of my flower, so since I already had a second piece of this beige felt on hand I decided to cut it. two more strips, giving me a total of four strips in which I cut slits for the center of this flower. Okay, I'm definitely happy with the size of this. Now wearing four pieces was definitely the way to go before it just wasn't the case. proportionate with the petals now I feel like making the center a little bigger, everything will be proportionate.
I'm going to make sure before I put this in the center of my flower just to take out some of the pieces that were bent and fluff it up a little bit now all that's left to do is put this together so I'm going to take the charger and on the back of this charger plastic from the Dollar Tree I will use these sawtooth hangers that were from a previous project. what I did recently was the Barlow moss DIY I made for my front door. I took them off the back of the marble slabs at the Dollar Tree and saved them because they are always useful for other DIYs like this.
I'm going to move on. I'm going to screw this into the back of the charger. I'm not going to use hot glue for this because this is a plastic charger that is going to come off, so I really want to make sure this stays in so when I hang it up, it doesn't fall apart and fall off and ruin all my hard work. . Now on the front you will see that the screws went through, but don't worry, it won't be seen. He's fine now at eighteen. of the petals using these two screws here as a guide for the top of my flower, this is where I'm going to place my first petal and I'm going to use this inner ring here on the edge as a guide for the first row of flowers that I place I'm using hot glue on this because I feel that hot glue will adhere very well to this charger.
You don't have to worry about it coming off when I attach my second petal, I'll barely overlap it. the petal from before, if that makes any sense, you don't want a space between them, you just want those places to overlap a little bit. I'm going to do that around the entire outside of this charger and this will be our first row of flowers once we've finished our outside row of petals, now it's time to place the inside row and I'm going to go in about three inches to the center from the charger and I want to offset my petals on this roll from the outside.
In the row you don't want to line them up evenly, but you want to place them back where the two outer petals are. I hope I don't make this too confusing, but you can see what I'm doing and of course the inside. the petals were only going to need an amount removed because it's a smaller circle now all that's left to do is place the center of the flower and voila, this is such a

quick

and

easy

DIY, the result is absolutely amazing and it really took me maybe An hour to do it in total now we're going to hang this because I can't wait for you to see how stinky this

look

s on the wall and here we have it.
I think it

look

s amazing. The overall size is 30 inches in diameter, so. It is a good size. I love the color. It matches perfectly with the decoration of my house. I actually made this in several different colors. I also made it in this dark brown and in the center I tried to add just one center piece just to see if I can accentuate it a little bit more. It wasn't my favorite. I don't think it looks horrible, but I like it without it. You can also do this using scrapbooking paper. This is some farmhouse wood scrapbooking paper that I purchased.
At Hobby Lobby you can get scrapbook paper for five for a dollar and at Hobby Lobby, the best thing about using scrapbook paper is that you don't need to use the pipe cleaner on the back because the paper is stiff enough to hold your shape and stay in place, you could even do this using fabric to fabric, just add a little heat and attach it to the back to make the fabric a little stiffer so the petals stay on top. How beautiful is this felt flower and what is it. The amazing thing about this flower is that it can be made to fit any decorating style so easily by just changing the color of the felt.
There are so many different types of felt that have glitter, that are metallic, and that are just bright, bold colors like what these flowers would look like. adorable in a girl's room with bright pinks, yellows and oranges and just like I did today with the browns, makes it look homey, makes it look rustic, gives it a little bit of that farmhouse look using wood scrapbook paper cut outs like I did today, there are endless possibilities when making these flowers and the great thing is that if you made them in three different sizes like I said and put them on top of a sofa, it would be absolutely beautiful and it would be a piece that would leave people talking, I hope .
