While this project may have a few smaller pieces to finesse, don't let that intimidate you! We consider this an intermediate craft, but with a little patience, you'll be well on your way to creating a charming little zinnia to brighten your day.
However, before you get started, you'll need some essential tools to bring your Felt Apricot Zinnia to life. First, detail scissors, a low-temp hot glue gun, and needle-nose pliers are essential for any craft tool box. And, if you're looking for a more seamless process, we highly recommend your cutting machine – it'll make cutting and sorting your pieces much easier.
Zinnias are beloved and cheeful additions to any summer garden. Originally hailing from the scorching plains of Mexico and Central America, these vibrant blooms have journeyed across continents to spread their sunshine worldwide. Symbolizing endurance and lasting friendships, zinnias come in every variety of color. From fiery reds and oranges to delicate pinks and purples — zinnias are a true testament to the beauty of nature.
Our zinnias are a light apricot variety, with petals surrounding a dollop of hazelnut. The fringed center, bursting with sunshine yellow, is achieved with the help of scallop scissors – a simple tool that creates a smooth scalloped edge. Lastly, a spritz of stiffening spray helps the petals hold their shape, mimicking the natural drape of a real zinnia.
Once you get the shaping down, the rest of this project is a breeze. Perhaps you'd like to create a field of felt zinnias in a rainbow of colors. Or maybe you'd prefer a single, majestic bloom displayed in a rustic vase. Either way, remember to share your Felt Apricot Zinnia with us in our crafters' community or on social media with the hashtag #MadeWithLia.
