You can also make them in so many different colors to fit any special occasion or holiday.
Here’s What You Need
Materials:
- Felt
- Hot Glue and Glue Gun
- Scissors
- Ruler
- Pencil
- Rope or Pin
Time: 15 Minutes
Instructions:
First cut two pieces of 2.5”X9” pieces.
Fold them in half lengthwise and glue them together with hot glue.
Fringe both pieces with scissors.
Start with the color you want as the center of the flower and role and glue it to form a flower. It will look like this on the bottom.
It will look like this on top.
