I needed one thing whimsical that may go along with among the colours of his wallpaper. Plus, tasks made with felt are simply enjoyable to work on. They all the time really feel so low strain to me (most likely as a result of they’re pretty cheap), so I really feel OK to make just a few errors. Ha.
Right here you’ll be able to see the cell alongside the wallpaper. I haven’t fairly bought round to hanging it above the crib, as I’m nonetheless ensuring I’m pleased with the position of the furnishings, however I’ll share extra photographs as soon as I’ve the entire room put collectively (quickly!).
Anyway, I beloved how this DIY felt flower cell turned out. I feel this may very well be a cute venture for all kinds of areas, not only a nursery. I had seen a photograph of one thing comparable on Pinterest right here, and I attempted discovering the unique supply (hoping for a tutorial), however I didn’t have any luck discovering it. If anybody is aware of the unique supply, please let me know within the feedback beneath! However since I couldn’t discover it, I simply made up my very own tutorial which I’ll share.
Provides:
–embroidery hoop or small wire wreath body
–inexperienced felt (and no matter colours you need the flowers to be)

I used just a few completely different shades of yellow, orange, pink, and cream for the florals on my cell. I used to be just a little apprehensive it would end up wanting like sweet corn, in order that’s why I used a wide range of shades and steered away from major colours. However, altering up these felt colours may give this DIY felt flower cell soooooo many alternative seems to be for various areas.
Step One: For the flowers, I lower the felt sheets into strips.
Step Two: Then, I used embroidery thread to stitch them collectively into loops. Make sure to go away loads of further thread for hanging these completely different lengths on the cell.
Step Three: Minimize out leaves from the inexperienced felt, pinch the ends, and stitch two collectively. You should utilize these to tie across the hoop or have hanging contained in the cell.
Step 4: Cowl the ring with the bias tape. Add embroidery thread to the middle, in a criss-cross sample. Then, hold the flowers and any hanging leaves on the cell. I discovered it was simpler to work on this with the cell hanging, that approach I might see how a lot the items hung down and coated one another. I simply added one nail to a doorway so I might hold this at a snug peak to work on (a command strip hook would additionally work).
Here’s a view from the highest of the cell so you may get a greater thought of the method. After getting all of the items hung as you want, trim off any extra embroidery thread. 
That’s it! It’s actually quite simple, and on the within it’s fairly messy. There are tons of different tutorials on the market for making extra intricate felt flowers, so thanks for letting me share my little venture with you all. 🙂 -Emma
