Create a beautiful no-sew felt flower craft with this easy DIY tutorial! Perfect for kids, classrooms, or homeschool craft time—no sewing skills needed!

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!
