Elegant Rose Felt Flower Materials - 5 by 5 inch piece of felt; color of your choice for the flower. amzn.to/38TIqbf - 1 1/2 inch wide 1/2 thick piece of felt for the stamen - 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 inch piece of felt for leaf amzn.to/2QcLzMN - Scissors amzn.to/3iJ4et2 - Glue gun and glue amzn.to/3c8LtMZ - Large mug or circular object with a 5 inch diameter. - Pencil Directions Find a flat surface to work on. Turn on the hot glue gun so it's ready to go when you need it. 1. Lay out your 5 x 5 inch piece of felt. Place your large mug or circular object so it fits snugly on the felt. Trace the circle with a pencil. Cut out the circle. 2. Cut a spiral about 1 inch thick to the center of the circle. Try your best to keep the spiral width even. Leave a tab of felt in the center so you can glue all the elegant rose together. 3. Start rolling the felt from the outside of the circle to the center. 4. Once you have reached the end of rolling your felt dab some glue on the remaining tab and set the rolled flower on it. Allow the glue to dry and set the elegant rose aside. Let's cut the inside of the flower, the stamen. 5. Cut a 1 1/2 inch wide 1/2 thick piece of felt for the stamen. Cut notches on one side of the felt being sure not to cut all the way through. Roll up the felt and dab some glue on the bottom leaving the cut portion on top. Place the stamen in the center of the elegant rose. 6. Grab the 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 piece of felt and cut in a convex arch from one corner to the opposite corner. Repeat the convex arch back to the original corner. You will now have a simple leaf. 7. Load up some hot glue on a corner of the leaf then place the rose on top. Once dry you have your elegant rose felt flower!

If your felt is made of organic materials, like wool, you can compost the scraps. Thick heavy pieces of felt don’t compost well but if your pieces are small or thin throw them in there.
