I’ve always loved crafting with felt. It’s easy to work with, relatively inexpensive, and comes in a rainbow of colors. One of my favorite things to make out of felt is flowers. You can glue them to a hair clip or headband for a quick and easy hair accessory, use them as a pencil topper, or just give them as is. I know my daughter can get pretty excited over a few hand-made blooms.

Tutorial to make the No Sew Felt Flower Craft:

Let’s make a beautiful felt flower — no sewing needed! 🎉

  1. Cut petals using the template — you’ll need 5 or 6 for one flower. This is great for practicing scissor skills! ✂️

  2. Make the petal shape: Take each petal and fold it into a cone. First, glue the right corner to the center, then overlap the left corner on top. Use fabric glue and press gently.

  3. Secure the shape by holding in place or using a clothespin while it dries. It’s a great patience-building step for little hands! Repeat for all petals and then glue them in a circle to form the flower. Add a felt circle or a cute pom-pom in the center for a fun finish! 🎨

These flowers are perfect for classroom displays, spring themes, or as DIY Mother’s Day gifts! 🌼

Step 4:
Cut out the sepal — that’s the green leafy base of your flower — using green felt and the template. It brings a lovely contrast and structure to your flower! 🌿

Step 5:
Form the sepal into a cone shape, overlapping the edges but leaving a small hole in the center. Glue the edges together and let it dry — this will become the base that holds everything together.

Step 6:
Take a paper or plastic straw (this is your flower stem!) and pass it through the center hole. Add some glue where the straw meets the sepal to keep it secure.

Step 7:
Now for the magical part ✨— glue each petal around the top of the green felt cone in a circular arrangement. Work one petal at a time, spacing them evenly around the straw. Press gently and allow to dry.

And voilà — your flower is ready to show off! 🌸💚 This craft encourages fine motor skills, creativity, and patience, making it ideal for little learners or calming afternoon projects.

Step 8: Time to Bloom!
Take all those beautiful cone-shaped petals you’ve prepped, and start gluing them one by one around the straw onto the green sepal cone. Space them evenly in a circular pattern to form your flower. Don’t rush — this is where the magic happens! 💫

Step 9: Let’s Make the Sunny Center
Grab a strip of yellow felt and snip along one side to make fringe cuts — but only cut about ¾ of the way down. This creates that lovely textured center without the mess! ✂️🌞

Step 10: Roll & Secure
Carefully roll up the fringed strip like a cinnamon roll! 🍥 Add a little glue along the way to keep it secure. Then, glue the whole roll right in the center of the petals, on top of the straw — and ta-da, your flower’s heart is complete!

Step 11: Add the Final Touch – Leaves!
Using the leaf templates, cut out a few green felt leaves. Glue them to the base of your flower near the sepal. It’s the finishing detail that gives your flower a sweet, realistic touch! 🍃


These steps are perfect for a classroom or kitchen table craft day. This activity builds fine motor skills, encourages patience, and sparks creativity — all with zero sewing needed!

Your felt flowers are complete! Use the same felt flower template to make a few in different colors, and gather them together in a bouquet!
