There’s an awesome PRO blogger in the hive - Llubav Choy Duerr. I just loveee her work! So, weeks ago, I saw her flower ring pillow, and I thought this could be an awesome way to add more color to my BMs’ gifts! I’ll share the actual gifts later.

So I used her projects as my inspiration to make purple sunflower pins for my girls! But instead of sewing the flowers, I went for the easy hot glue gun option .

It took me a half hour to make these 4 flowers for my girls . Do you want to make your own? This is how I did it…

Materials you’ll need:

• Brown fabric
• Brown beads
• Brown thread
• Purple felt
• Fake green leaf
• Hot glue gun
• Safety pins

For one flower you will need 30 petals and 2 felt strips. You have to make small cuts on one (bottom) and cut a zig-zag shape on the other one (top), just like I’ve demonstrated in the drawing below. I wanted the petals to be more “pointy” shaped - but you can make them as round as you want!

To make the center of the flower, you first need to cut a round piece of brown fabric, then sew around it like in the diagram below:

{ I used the leftovers from the felt petals to stuff the center, as you can see in the picture. After you close the center, you can sew on the brown beads. }

After that, I hot glued the 5″ piece of felt around the center of the flower, and then after that I hot glued all the petals, trying to space them equally around.

Then I took a safety pin, placed it in the middle, and secured it with two small hot glue drops.

I made a circle with the wire of the fake fabric leaf and hot glued that on. too.

As a final step, and just so the back of your flower doesn’t look so messy, cut a round piece of felt and glue it to the back with the pin open .

TA DA! You’ve got your felt flower pin!
