Say aloe to your new favorite plant

Aloe vera plants have such an interesting texture and shape. To recreate this look for our felt aloe vera plant, Krista created three sizes of aloe vera leaves. In our photo tutorial, we will show you exactly how to make these leaves and glue them in place to make your plant look realistic.

Along with our felt aloe vera plant, we are also showing you how to make a pretty felt pot for your plant to go in. The coral-colored tassels give this plant a fun summer vibe. But it’s still neutral enough to enjoy in your home year-round. It also makes such cute office decor.

How to Make a Felt Aloe Vera Plant

  1. Gather your craft tools and materials. Then download the pattern on the right hand side at the top of this post.
  2. Cut out felt pieces according to the pattern. Our aloe plant has 3 large leaves, 4 medium leaves, and 2 small leaves total.
  3. Sew seed stitches onto the leaf pieces using two strands of the ecru embroidery floss. Start stitching about 1/2″ from the bottom with a majority of the stitches concentrated at the base.
  4. Pin together two matching pieces and blanket stitch together starting at the base, using two strands of matching embroidery floss.
