Here’s how to make felt roses:

Step 1: Make your rose bud petals

Start by printing the pattern from your inbox. Cut out the small, medium, and large rose

petals. You will need 9 small petals, 4-6 medium, and 4-6 large rose petals. It is not necessary to cut the petals perfectly. After all no two rose petals are identical anyways.

Step 2: Glue the center rose petal in place

Start by taking one of your small rose petals and fold it so the edges overlap in the center of the petal. Hot glue it in place.

Step 3: Glue all the other rose petals in place

Now starting with your small rose petals, take one of the small rose petals and put hot glue on the bottom corner. Glue the second petal to the first, overlapping the first petal about 1/4″.

Glue the other side of the petal to the first petal. Hold the petal in place.

Caution: Be very careful when holding down the petals. Hot glue can be very hot and can easily burn the skin. I would recommend using silicone gloves to avoid burns.

Continue adding felt rose petals

Now you will continue to add all the small, medium, and large (in that order) rose petals by repeating the same process. Glue the bottom corner of the petal and attach to the previous petal, overlapping about 1/4″. Then gluing the second corner to the previous petal. Holding each petal in place.

Step 4: Attach leaves to your felt rose

The last step is to attach the leaves to your felt rose. Cut out the leaf pattern in green or other complimentary color, and hot glue the leaves on the under side of your felt rose.
