Although this is a beginner-to-intermediate level project, it’s easy to adjust based on your comfort level. For a quicker turnaround, feel free to skip the coloring and let that rich apricot felt shine on its own. However, if you’re feeling artistic, try blending red and pink pastels into each petal for a dreamy watercolor effect. This Felt Hollyhock Flower is great for our crafters who feel ready to experiment with new flourishes and techniques. 

Traditionally grown in cottage gardens, Hollyhocks can grow up to 8 feet tall and come in a variety of colors. They can range from bright white to deep red and even black. Because of their ample growth and ornamental beauty, hollyhocks often represent femininity, fertility, and female ambition. As you craft, we hope you feel inspired by their legacy of empowerment and the abundant creative energy they represent. 

To create our Felt Hollyhock Flowers, we used a soft, warm apricot — but feel free to choose any color that speaks to you. Additionally, we added vibrant yellow veining with a fine-tip paint pen, then finished each piece with a light fixative spray to preserve the coloring and detail.

Once finished, the vertical silhouette of this Felt Hollyhock Flower makes a stunning feature in any felt floral arrangement. So, don’t forget to share your flourishing creativity with us using #MadeWithLia and in our crafters’ community. We love watching you grow!
