Felt Plumeria Magnet

Did you know that any one of our paper and felt flower blooms can be turned into a beautiful refrigerator magnet? We went down to our local hardware store and picked up some small circular magnets. All you have to do is use some hot glue to attach your bloom to the magnet and you have a DIY accessory for your fridge! This can be done with any of our flowers, but I decided that I should also design a new flower for this project. Introducing, the felt plumeria! I love these gorgeous flowers with their crisp white petals and sunny yellow centers that look like a painting. Let’s get tropical!

Below, members will find SVG files and a PDF template for the petals and leaves to make your felt plumeria. Print out this template or use the SVG files to cut out each shape. Next, choose your felt. We chose to make a white plumeria, but these flowers come in lots of different luscious colors. Be sure to also find a nice green color of felt for your leaves. After cutting your felt, use an art marker to add yellow to the petals. We used Canary Yellow, and then mixed a hint of Burnt Orange on top of the yellow to make it look more realistic. These markers are great for coloring on felt. Now you can assemble the petals together to form the bloom. Follow the step-by-step photo tutorial to help you through this step! Finish your felt plumeria by adding a bit of hot glue between the overlapping petals to attach them to each other. This will make the bloom stay open without the petals drooping. To turn this flower into a magnet, glue a magnetic disk to the bottom of the bloom, then add your leaves.

Turning a flower into a magnet is as simple as that! I think a gardenia bloom or ranunculus would also make for lovely refrigerator magnets. As you can see, we used our felt plumeria magnets to add a little dose of pretty to our white desk lamp. Or, use these felt plumerias to make decor for your tropical party or summer lu’au.

Would it be possible to create a “Instruction” pdf for this just like the other felt flowers? Thanks!
We have added the instruction PDF for you!
Love these little beauties, are the templates available in an SVG zip file. I would like to use my Cricut Maker to cut these out.
Yes, I just uploaded the SVG files 🙂
Once again,amazing! Well-done!

Thank you Sandy!
Amazing!!! Another beautiful flower! I’m decorating my room with your diy flowers. I also love lilies of the valley. Do you have a tutorial for them?
Thank you Melika! I haven’t created a lily of the valley tutorial, that would sure be a fun one 🙂
I can’t get how to sew the petals together especially to get them to cup like you do.
The trick is to roll the felt edge inward on the front and glue (step 6), and when you sew them together in the back pull them tightly so the petals “cup” up. Hope that helps!
Love these – so simple but outstanding 🙂
Thank you Janet!! 🙂 Maybe I will have to try a crepe version…
I don’t see a step-by-step photo tutorial that was mentioned in the description of the project.
Hi Nancy, I just added that in, thank you for catching that! 🙂
