Valentine Flowers: Felt Roses

Elevator Pitch

We’re making quick and easy roses out of felt and chenille stems!

This Craft Makes: 

A felt rose with optional glitter top

Supplies: 

You will need:

  • Felt pieces or fabric scraps
  • Chenille stem
  • Pony Bead
  • Hot glue (craft glue will also work)
  • Scissors

You may also want:

  • School or craft glue
  • Glitter
  • Small plate for putting glitter on

Steps to Make It

  1. Cut a long strip of felt or fabric (about 1½ to 2 inches tall and 8 to 10 inches long)
  2. Decide which edge is the top and cut a wavy pattern into it
  3. Attach a pony bead to your chenille stem by folding the stem in half and twisting
  4. This also makes sure your chenille stem can hold up your rose without drooping!
  5. Glue the felt to the chenille stem with the pony bead about halfway up it
  6. Roll the felt around the stem (try to keep the bottom even).  Glue the bottom in spots if you need to. 
  7. Glue the bottom HALF of the end of the felt roll down. 
  8. Fold the top half of the felt roll over to make your rose
  9. If you want, you can cut a leaf out of the extra felt and glue it to your stem

Optional Bling:

  1. Pour a thin layer of glitter into your plate
  2. Apply a thin layer of craft glue to the top of the rose
  3. Tap the top of the rose in your glitter
  4. Let dry!
