Try This – Puff Flower
.
My creative time this month is consumed with painting for Art Every Day Month, so November’s “Try This” posts will be a potpourri…anything that strikes my fancy and is fun and easy. Today, a puff flower.
Start by cutting a circle. I used felted wool.
Sewing a running stitch around the edge, just as you would to make a yo-yo.
Pull the thread to gather the stitches and fill with fiberfill.
Using embroidery floss, stitch up through the middle of the puff, wrapping the thread around to the bottom and stitching up through the middle again. Repeat this five times.
Finish by stitching beads to the center of the flower…
or a pretty button.

Ohhh, these are lovely. The puff flower is such a sweetie pie. I am trying to imagine how large it is! And the painting… I wish I knew how to paint like that….
Happy Art Every Day Month!!
This puff flower is about 2-1/2″ in diameter, but you can make them any size you want.
Those puff flowers are absolutely adorable! Your girls are all so unique, too. I love that!
I’m trying to remember if you are also a knitter or not. I saw a hound project recently that is just adorable, but it requires knitting.
I do have the ability to learn knitting, but I forget everything very quickly. Is it those reindeer caps? I LOVE them.
Love the puff flower, you could make a great pincushion out of it, will have to try it sometime!
Your doll remainds me of the Sindy doll I used to have when I was little, she had the same hairdo 🙂

What a fab flower.
Awwww….cute!
I just started working with felt so it was fun to see this! With a baby girl coming late january or early feb I have been making these felt hair flower clips for her hair and headbands. I love the yoyo’s and always wondered how they are made so it was fun to see how in a way. I love this! Thanks for sharing.
That is so adorable. That would also make a great pin cushion. Or in orange, a perfect pumpkin!
This would make a neat pin cushion.
This is so clever and looks so simple to do. Thanks for the photos. xx
