Springtime Craft Tutorial: Felt Tulips

February 27, 2012

Felt Tulips Tutorial
One thing I love about early spring is when the tulips begin to bloom. It may still be frigid February here in Boston, but a bouquet of felt tulips on the table gives me hope that spring is just around the corner.

Felt Tulips 1
Around this time last year I made a tutorial for felt daffodils if you’d like to make those, too.

To make the tulips download this template I created for the petals and leaves. Then gather your materials and get started!

Put the flowers in a vase and set them on your spring table.  Enjoy!

    Beautiful.
    These would make a fantastic Mother’s Day Present as in the UK we celebrate this on March 18th this year, so tulips would be perfect.
    Thanks for the inspiration.
    Happy Crafting

    beautiful but there is one problem – tulips have 6 petals, not 8 😀
