Make a batch of these beauties and place in a vase to enjoy their cheerful colors for a late summer or fall display! Have fun choosing different color combinations for your flowers! I love to look at photos of real Coneflowers to get ideas. Wrap the leaves around the stem about 3” below the flower head. Press the base to the wire until the glue dries. Glue the base of each leaf to a small piece of 22 gauge wire, about 2” long. This will work well with Benzie wool-blend or 100% wool Bellwether felt, but it will melt acrylic felt so do NOT try this with acrylic felt! Heat the iron, then run the hot tip along the leaf to make veins. Optional leaf veining: If you would like to add more dimension to your leaves, you can use a low heat soldering iron to make veins. Cut a simple leaf shape from each rectangle as shown. Using your rotary cutter or scissors, cut out two rectangles that measure 2.5” x 1.25”. I prefer the Benzie colors of Meadow or Moss for leaves. Leaves: Use two green leaves per Coneflower stem. Use a pair of tweezers to remove any glue strands that may be left on the flower.ħ. Hot glue has a tendency to form long strands. Tip: Less is more when it comes to hot glue! Hot glue works really well on felt, so you do not need to put a lot of glue on your projects. You will need about 11-12 petals per flower, depending on how close you pinch the petal when attaching. Gently attach it to the pom, holding in place until the glue begins to set. To assemble the flower, dab a small amount hot glue on the cut notch edge of the petal. Wipe off any excess pastel by gently blotting each petal on a paper towel.Ħ. Using the Magenta Pan Pastel, rub the foam applicator slightly on the pastel then gently over the top third of each petal (the side nearest the notch). Shading: Your flower will look more realistic if you put a little color on the petals to give them depth. If you do not cut this notch, the petal will stick straight out and you will not get the look we are going for!ĥ. This notched angle is what allows the petal to rest against the curve of the center pom. Cut each piece into a half moon shape, starting in one corner by the fold side. Once the fold has been ironed, cut the strips into 2’ pieces. I cut the petals from strips rather than a pattern because it is much easier to iron a fold into a strip of felt verses a small individual petal.ģ. Using a flat iron on a low setting, create a fold in each strip by ironing the strip in half lengthwise. Prepare the petals: Cut 3 strips of felt ¾” wide by 8” long. Hold for a few seconds until glue sets.Ģ. Fill the hole with hot glue and insert one end of a wire stem. Prepare the Pom center: Using very sharp scissors, poke a hole about half way through the pom.
