Felt Lavender Flowers
Lavender is part of our May color palette, and you will see it sprinkled throughout our projects in this month’s craft collection. Not only is it a pretty color, but the flower is beautiful too. Since we already have our crepe paper lavender plant, our designer Krista decided to make some felt lavender flowers.
This felt flower is great for beginners, and you can make an entire bundle in a short amount of time if you’re using a cutting machine with a rotary blade. If cutting by hand, we recommend you trace onto fabric using a disappearing fabric marker and small detail scissors.

A Flower to Lavender
Lavender is known for its calming properties, and while our felt lavender may not have a fragrance, we think that crafting these felt flowers will be just as therapeutic! If you love the smell of lavender, we have some homemade lavender bath salts you can make after crafting these flowers. We also like to add lavender essential oil to some of our DIY skincare, including our hand sanitizer spray and hand lotion.
When you are ready to make your felt lavender flowers, we recommend using a Cricut Maker or Silhouette Cameo 4 with our SVG file to cut your felt pieces. After selecting the felt setting on your Cricut Maker, be sure to change the blade to rotary for a better cut.

How to Make Felt Lavender
- Gather your craft tools and materials. Then download the lavender pattern on the right hand side at the top of this post.
- Cut out felt according to the flower pattern using a Cricut Maker (recommended) or scissors. Each stem has 12–16 flowers, 2–3 tiny leaves, and 0–2 longer leaves.
- Crumple up the flower petals to make the felt softer.
- Cut one of the flower pieces into two.

Back to the TopHi, I do not own a cricut and like to cut my flowers with scissors. Can I download a pattern? Sue
Yes, we have both cutting machine and printable patterns for all of our projects. 🙂
do you think I can make this with crepe paper?
We have several version of crepe paper lavender that you can use. Here is one: https://liagriffith.com/crepe-paper-lavender-plant/
The other is in our Crepe Paper Flower class that is about to begin in a few weeks! I think you might really enjoy it: https://liagriffith.com/craft-academy/a-beginners-guide-to-crepe-paper-flowers-vol-2/
Hi Lia & team! I was wondering if this pattern would work also with frosted paper?
Thanks!
This pattern is not intended for paper but we do have a frosted paper lavender here! https://liagriffith.com/frosted-paper-herbs/
is a Cricut joy machine sufficient for most of your felt flower projects?
I don’t believe the Cricut Joy will cut felt– you need a machine with a rotary blade, like the Cricut Maker or Silhouette Cameo. We cut most of our felt flowers by hand though!
What if we don’t have a cricut?
All of our projects include a PDF template for those wanting to cut by hand!
