Making the woodland felt puppets a few weeks ago reminded me how much I love working with felt. I have had this super simple felt flower idea swirling in my head since that post, so now I am finally getting a chance to share it! This DIY carnation is so easy to make that you can even use it as a craft project for kids. These felt flowers make a great gift topper, a colorful bracelet, a sweet flower to decorate your hair or to clip onto your shoes for an extra touch. The sky is the limit, so keep a few around in your favorite colors to accessorize any outfit for any season. Download and print the felt DIY carnation template below. You will only find a PDF template for this craft because I always prefer hand cutting my felt rather than trying to use my cutting machine.
Tools
Materials
- Lia Griffith’s Wool Blend Felt — Juniper, Sweet Pea, Plum, Pomegranate, and Grape
- Fabric Pen — Dritz Disappearing Ink or Ball Point Pen
- Hair Pin or Craft Pin
Another tip I like to use is to print the template onto a card stock so I can reuse it for future flowers. You can follow the tutorial below for this fun little craft project. Enjoy! ~ Lia

This flower is so beautiful! Would you consider creating an SVG Cut file?
Thank you! The SVG has been added 🙂
Very good idea Lia! Congrats for your blog, we read it always! Thanks for your content, hugs from Spain!:)
Thank you so much, I’m glad you’re here! 🙂
Where do you get your different shapes of purple felt at? All I can find is a standard purple and I need a shade similar to these.
We get most of our felt from Benzie Design, because it is wonderful to cut and craft with, plus they have a lot of colors to choose from. The purples used for this project are purple, mulberry, foxglove, and burgundy. Hope that helps!

Such an awesome tutorial. Loving the idea of making felt flowers for giftwrapping. Sure beats the usual ribbon idea and that extra bit special knowing it is DIY.
Thanks Kristine! Yes, and they can use it again for a gift or accessory.
These are lovely! I’ve been making hairbands for my 4 month old daughter and this is the best tutorial I’ve found. Thank you so much!
So good to hear Deborah! I love headbands on baby girls. My daughter was a baldy at that age so always wore something cute.
As usual I love these. Is this any special kind of felt because the colors are so intense?
Thanks and keep the fabulous ideas coming.
I like wool felt or at least a wool blend. Here are two Etsy sources where I get my felt:
https://www.etsy.com/shop/BenzieDesign (wool mix for more of a crafty need)
https://www.etsy.com/shop/FeltOnTheFly (100 perfect wool for higher end projects)
Such an adorable idea. I love crafty ideas like this, but just cuz I love it doesn’t mean it will turn out like this. Thanks for the tip and wish me luck.

You go! I think you will love the results and if you use this pattern they should look just like the photos. 😉
Love these so much to use as hair pieces for my daughter! Thanks for sharing. Where do you get your patterns for the flowers and leaves?
Thanks again.
Hi Rebekah. The patten is a download that I created and you can get it by pressing the long grey button at the end of the post. Let me know if it is not showing up for you and we can trouble shoot, ok?
Lia, I can’t believe I missed that!! Ha!! Thanks so much!! Love these!!
No worries. Glad you found it now. 🙂

So stinking cute and easy! Thanks for the tutorial! ~M.
But of course! 😉
I’m going to make these soon…they are so cute!!! Thanks!
And great for many uses! 🙂
Everything you do is breathtaking with easy to follow instructions. Thanks over and over! I am wondering/pondering either adding these to my origami bouquets OR making them out of a soft linen-like paper?
Ooooh, they may look great in a linen paper. Good thought. 🙂
Beautiful! I’ve made many like these and they are quite addicting.
Is this project what you were going to the fabric store for? 🙂
Yes, felt may have taken a hold of me. It may be the project. . . I am always going to the fabric store. 🙂
I love putting flowers in my daughter’s hair and these are perfect! Thank you for sharing!
Yes, adorable! I wanted my daughter to come be my model for this post today. . . but she was working. lol
