Felt Coral Charm Peony
You may have noticed by now that we love to make peonies! The last one I crafted was a crepe paper coral supreme peony for our February Member Make challenge. We wanted to try out a felt version of this pretty pink flower, so we turned to our felt flower expert, Krista. She crafted these beautiful felt coral charm peony flowers and buds for us, complete with felt greenery. And today we’re sharing the tutorial with you so you can learn how to craft them on your own!

@Rebecca
Back to the TopI was in Pinterest today and saw The Hardwood Forest. This women makes felt flowers and uses a curling iron and hairspray to shape her petals. I was wondering if you have tried this and what you think about it. I have neither a curling iron or hairspray and don’t want to invest in either if it’s not going to work. Thanks for your feedback.
I think they would both work since felt is a wool blend. That being said, I feel that Krista does such a great job of shaping petals without a curling iron, and she uses “stiffen quick” (we sell it in our shop now) rather than hairspray, since it is made for fabric and felt. I love seeing how creative people can be with materials and tools. 🙂
