Spring Felt Flower Centerpiece

by 17 Comments


I loved making my Fall Felt Flower Centerpiece so much (and I had an extra Styrofoam ball left over) that I decided to make a spring centerpiece.

I used these Felt Spider Mums, which are very easy to make and require no sewing at all.

1. Choose your colors. Each sheet of felt made 9 flowers. I ended out using 42 flowers total. I decided to use 4 different colors. This is the smallest number you can do and keep any flowers of the same color from bordering each other. I would recommend between 4 and 6 colors of felt.

2. Make a lot of flowers. I would make between 9 and 12 of each color.

3. Paint or decorate your pot. I simply painted the flower pot with a thin white coat of white acrylic paint.

4. Start to glue the flowers to the Styrofoam ball. I used a hot glue gun which worked very well. Just make sure that you put the glue on the felt and not directly on the Styrofoam or it will melt. I also waited about 5 to 10 seconds after applying the glue to attach it to the ball.

5. Start gluing at the top. If you are using 4 colors, you can use the same pattern that I did. Put one color in the middle, and surround it by 6 other flowers alternating in colors. Notice that flowers of the same color are directly across from each other.

{Keep the flowers close together for a fuller look. But also remember that you will fluff them out in the end and the petals will cover any little gaps}

6. At some point, put the ball on the pot so that you will know where to stop attaching flowers. Fluff out the petals to look more realistic.
