How To: Ombre Pink Felt Peony

Wednesday, May 13, 2015

I really liked Hopes & Seams' Felt Blooms, but I wanted to try something a little more three dimensional. The large blooms came out lovely, but maybe a bit too large so I ended up constructing a flatter bloom based off the original tutorial.


Method 1: Three Dimensional Felt Peony

1. Cut out squares, each color has equal sized squares (1", 1.25", 1.5", 1.75", 2")
   
   
2. Cut petal shapes out of squares
   
   
3. Roll fringe and sew
   
   
4. Sew petals to fringe at base, one petal at a time
   
   
5. Keep sewing petals one at a time
   
   
   
   

Method 2: Two Dimensional Felt Peony
Based off Hopes & Seams' Felt Blooms - Guidelines tutorial.

1. Cut petals out of squares (1", 1.25", 1.5")
   
   
2. Sew the bottoms of first row of petals with a couple stitches
   
   
3. Hot glue the sides of the first row of petals together
   
   
4. Attach larger petals underneath using hot glue at the base
   
   
   
5. Roll fringe, secure with stitches
   
   
6. Hot glue fringe to center, done
