How to Make a Felt Swan

  1. Gather your craft tools and materials. Then download the pattern on the right hand side at the top of this post.
  2. Cut out felt pieces according to the pattern, using your scissors or Cricut Maker. We recommend using detail scissors for some of the smaller pieces.
  3. Place the flower and center felt pieces on one of the wings. Sew six french knots through the center of the flower to secure it to the wing. Sew three long straight stitches on each petal from just under the center. See embroidery guide for details on stitches/color/number of strands.
  4. Sew a backstitch for the stems of the leaves, coming out from under the flower and down the middle of the leaves.
