DIY FELT FLOWERS WITH YOUR CRICUT MAKER

Have you cut felt with your Cricut Maker yet! It cuts felt like butter! I use my rotary blade with my Maker, but you can also use you’re Fine Point knife if you have an Explorer. I love to make Felt flowers. Flowers are so easy to cut and create with my Cricut Maker. I have loved making felt flowers with my Cricut Maker. I used them to make the flowers on this cute little sign.

Checkout the cute little felt flower on this reveal sign. This is just one more example. 

Just think of the different projects that you could use felt flowers. What about a baby headband, a beautiful bouquet, a shadow box, and a colorful pin.

In today’s Inspiration Friday project, I’m going to share some tips for making felt flowers and also the supplies you need to make a sign that I made and added felt flowers to for color and dimension. I used Cricut’s Felt for this project and it comes in some great colors!

Tip #1 Felt Flowers with Cricut’s Maker

My first tip for making felt flowers is to use your rotary blade for the smoothest cut! When you select Felt for your material cutting in Design Space, it will default to the Fine Tip Blade, but you can change the option to Rotary Blade. I have found that using the Rotary Blade will ensure the best cut. 

Tip #2 Felt Flowers with Cricut’s Maker

My second tip is to use Cricut transfer tape on your FabricGrip mat to keep it from getting covered in felt fibers.

Take a piece of transfer tape and place it down on your mat sticky side up. Then place the Felt on the mat. The transfer tape will prevent your mat from getting covered in fibers! I demonstrate this in the DIY Video.

Felt Flowers Supplies:

• Maker
• Rotary Blade
• FabricGrip Mat
• Felt in green, red, yellow and purple, I use Circut’s Felt
• Cricut Design Space 
• Wood Frame
• Hot glue gun and glue sticks

Instructions:

• Open Design Space. If you would like the same styles of flowers, I used 3D Flower #M3D7E1 and Leaf #M39484 images from Design Space. I started using one of the ready-made projects and decided that I would just use one of the flowers and one leaf design.

• Click on Make It and select “Felt.” Change the tool to the rotary blade and cut out your flowers.

• To assemble your rolled felt flowers, simply start at the end without the tab, and roll up, then secure the tab in place with hot glue.

To assemble the sign-

Now all you have to do is add them to your sign. First, I added my metal “Dream” word by wrapping the wire around the chicken wire, and then I use the glue gun to arrange the flowers and leaves to the sign.

What do you think! How easy was that, and just think of all of the other projects that you can use these cute flowers for in the future!
