Felt Flower Pencil Toppers
Ingredients
- Felt
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Needle & thread
- Hot glue gun & hot glue sticks
- Printable template
Instructions
- Print out the template patterns and cut them out. Trace the patterns on
felt fabrics and cut out the traced patterns using scissors. The template
includes 3 sets of patterns of 3 different sizes, choose any size you want. - Take the flower patterns. Place the small flower pattern on the top of
the big flower pattern and then place the small round shape on the center of the
small flower pattern. - Hold all 3 patterns together and flip them to the back side. Place the 3
leaf patterns on the back side of the flower arrangement. - Stitch the leaves with the flower on the back side, while keeping in
mind to stitch the small round center piece with the flower as well. I did a double cross stitch to stitch all 6 patterns together (3 leaves, the flowers, and the round shape). - Now take the pencil topper base cutout and prepare needle and thread.
- Fold the pencil topper cutout into half lengthwise. Start to stitch from the bottom
side. You can do running stitch or flat blanket stitch around the open side to
close it. - The pencil topper and the felt flower are ready. Prepare the hot glue gun
to attach the felt flower on the pencil topper. Use hot glue to attach the felt flower on the top closed end of the felt topper.
