If you’re new to felt flowers, this project is the perfect place to begin. The shapes are simple, the assembly is easy, and every snip and stitch feels delightfully relaxing. Each tiny bloom tucks into its little star-shaped center, and once you cluster about five blossoms per stem, they suddenly look incredibly lifelike. Finish with a few long, elegant leaves — a quick swipe of fabric stiffener keeps them standing tall — and you’ll have stems that feel like they’ve bloomed straight from a winter windowsill. And if you like this Felt Paperwhite Narcissus, then why not give this intermediate frosted paper version a try?

Paperwhites are part of the narcissus family — think daffodils’ dainty little siblings — and they've long symbolized optimism and new beginnings. In many cultures, they’re gifted during the winter holidays as a wish for good fortune and joy in the year ahead. That makes these felt beauties not just a lovely craft, but a heartfelt handmade gift for someone who could use a little extra cheer during the holidays.

Once complete, show off your Felt Paperwhite Narcissus up on your mantel, dining table, or bedside. These paperwhite beauties bring a gentle glow to winter spaces and incorporate so easily into any holiday theme. And when your blooms are ready for their close-up, share them with us using the hashtag #MadeWithLia so we can see your creativity in full bloom.
