How to Make a Yarn Flower

I might be obsessed with yarn balls now!  I had so much fun making these little guys for my yellow flowers.  Trimming the yarn balls brought me back to the days when I used to push Play-Doh through my hair cutting salon.  I had so much fun cutting hair then re-growing it.   I would spend hours doing this!  I may have to make an entire bouquet of yarn flowers to get my fix in!

Supplies:

– Yellow Yarn

– Green Floral Wires

– Green Felt

– Scissors

{Step 1}: Wrap your yarn around your four fingers 60 times.

{Step 2}: Cut a long piece of yarn. Thread it between your middle finger so it will go up and over the center of your yarn. Tie a tight knot in the center of your yarn.

{Step 3}: Take your floral wire and wrap it around the yarn you just tied.

{Step 4}: Use your scissors to cut all of your yarn loops you made.

{Step 5} Use your scissors to trim your yarn into a perfect ball.

{Step 6}: Cut a felt square an 1 & 1/2 by an 1 & 1/2. Fold your felt square in half and cut a half circle. Make sure you do not cut on the fold.

{Step 7}:  Then, cut out notches in your circle. Cut a tiny hole in the center of your felt.

{Step 8}: Slide your wire through the hole in your felt. Move your felt to the top of your flower so it is right under your flower.Enjoy your flowers!
