How to Make Felt Sunflower

Select yellow, light brown, and dark brown felt fabrics for the cute sunflower craft.

Trace the petal shapes on the yellow felt, and the strips on the brown felt (1 strip on each), and trace the round base pattern on any colored felt fabric. Cut out the traced felt fabric nicely.

Grab any one of the petal cutouts and create a slight crease on either side of the petal's tip. Apply glue on the tip to secure the crease. Similarly, create and secure creases on the rest of the petals.

Grab any one of the strips and fold them in half lengthwise. Cut small and even fringes along the closed side of the folded strip. Similarly, prepare the other felt strip.

Take the base cut-out and place it on a flat surface. Glue 3 sunflower petals on the base crisscross-wise. Make sure to keep the creased end inside the base.

Now glue 1 petal between every 2 petals on the base. Each layer of the felt sunflower will have 8 petals.

For the next layer glue the rest of the 8 petals slightly towards the center of the base.

Making the Center of Flower

Grab the fringed and folded felt strips. Roll the light brown strip first and then roll the dark brown strip around it. Apply glue at the end of the rolls to secure them.

Place and glue the rolled strips in the center of the felt petal layers to complete the sunflower craft. Viola, the final product!

Making Beautiful Sunflowers

We hope you enjoy this sunflower craft as much as we do. This beautiful flower craft would be great on a sunflower wreath, a sunflower headband, a popsicle stick sunflower bookmark, or on a canvas making an art wall.

Remember paper is also a great option to make this easy sunflower craft. It makes it lots easier as you can use a glue stick on the cardstock rather than using a hot glue gun.

If you make them for a craft or decor project, send pictures or tag us on social media. We love seeing Made with Happy craft projects in the wild.
