SUPPLIES:

• Wool Felt (shown in peach, ecru, butter and sage)
• Good Scissors
• Floral Wire (18-20 gauge)
• Wire Cutters
• Ribbon
• Hot Glue Gun (that does low heat)

You’ll be able to make one flower and one bud with: a 6″ x 9″ piece of felt and about a 4″ square for the leaves. However, you can make these flowers ANY size you like!

Cut Your Felt Petals

Below is a chart of all the felt petals you’ll need to cut out for this flower. You can gather the sizing from the ruler shown, but just know that you can create these petals in ANY size you’d like. The larger your petals the larger the flower and vise versa! We now have a free printable flower pattern available at the end of the post!

Flower:
– 1x large wavy circle petal
– 1x medium wavy circle petal
– 1x five point leaf
– 1x two point leaf

Bud:
– 1x small wavy rectangle petal
– 1x five point leaf
– 2x two point leaf

UPDATE: May 21st, 2018: You no longer have to cut all these petals and leaves by hand! We have the Cricut .SVG cut file for this flower available in our shop for only $1.99! Cutting these shapes with the Cricut is a HUGE time saver!

Create The Flower Center

This pattern is unlike all the others as first we start with no wire. Fold the medium wavy rectangle circle in half with the top side a bit under the bottom. Holding the right corner, roll into a tight cone shape and glue. Using a glue gun that can do “low heat” like this one from Martha Stewart is a MUST for not burning your fingers!

Add the Wire

Then drop a floral wire through the middle of the cone and glue.

Create The Outer Petal

Do the same thing with the large wavy circle; fold and roll into a cone shape but this time with a hollow center. Glue to secure the shape.

Add The Flower Center

Drop the flower center wire through the large cone shape, find the best fit and glue to secure. I found that this was the only way to gain the volume and unique flower petal layers that this design needed.

Add The Leaves

Glue the five-point leaf onto the flower base and then a few inches from the flower add additional little leaves… and your lisianthus is complete!

Create The Bud

Take the small wavy rectangle and glue a thin floral wire in the right corner. Then roll and wrap tightly and glue to secure. Next add the leaves to the bud just like you did to the flower – so simple and so cute!

Felt Lisianthus Boutonnieres

Are these little boutonnieres adorable or what!? You can use just the buds or the whole lisianthus flower to make super cute bouts that will perfectly match your bouquet!
