Day 2: DIY Dhalia Felt Flower Tutorial

I decided to do a different version of the dahlia project. I used two different shades of felt and added an extra layer of petals. Unfortunately, I didn't position them right so my petals were off. Lesson learned.

Here is my youtube video tutorial for this project. It still looks so cute as a headband accessory!

8 petals for the first three layers and 11 petals for the top layer.

Day 1 ~ DIY Felt Dhalia Flower Headband Tutorial

This is my first official post for this blog - hooray!

This is a headband project I have been wanting to do but I have to admit its a little labor intensive. After seeing the final product though; I realized it is worth the work.

****************************************************

Material:

• Felt
• Scissors
• Paper
• Pencil
• Glue gun
• Elastic

*****************************************************

Step 1: Cut a paper template of each petal. Three different sizes.
Step 2: Cut out 8 pieces of felt of each petal.
Step 3: Cut 2 felt circles.

Step 4: Fold both edges of petals together and glue them (see image below).

Step 5: Line the largest petals and glue them to the felt circle. Keep on gluing and layering the petals.

Step 6: Cut 14 inches of elastic and glue to the back of the flower then glue a felt circle to cover the elastic. 

Step 7: Glue a diamond center to the flower. 

LOVE IT !!

NOTE: The hot glue gun can get messy when gluing small petals. Next time I will use matching thread and stitch each petal close. I know it will be more work but it will look nicer.
