This Felt Bells of Ireland project is beginner-friendly and wonderfully approachable. Rather than working with large, complex petals, you’ll assemble a series of small bell-shaped calyxes, each one stacking together to create the flower’s signature vertical form. Inside each green bell sits a tiny white bloom, adding a soft contrast that brings your felt flower to life without adding difficulty.

Because the individual pieces are small, we recommend using a cutting machine to prepare the felt shapes. This allows you to skip straight to the fun part — assembly — while ensuring clean, consistent cuts. Once assembled, each bell is finished with hand-drawn veins using paint pens, giving the flowers an organic, natural look that beautifully mimics the real plant.

Traditionally, Bells of Ireland are used in arrangements meant to celebrate good fortune and positive beginnings. Their strong vertical shape makes them a favorite for adding height and structure to arrangements, and these felt versions work just as beautifully. Display your Felt Bells of Ireland on their own for a simple, sculptural look, or tuck them into a larger arrangement to add dimension and fresh green color.
