Steps to learn how to make flower-shaped felt rings

One of the designs that you can carry out to make felt rings is a pretty flower. This type of model goes with any style, so it will be one of the most versatile designs that you can wear together with the rest of your accessories. Let's see, next, what steps you will have to take to do it.

The first step is to draw five equal petals on the felt sheet with the help of a pencil. To make them look as identical as possible, you can also draw a petal to serve as a template for the others.

Cut out the petals with scissors, then use a threaded needle to make three stitches at the base of the first petal. Without cutting the thread, the next step is to repeat the action with the rest of the petals so that they are all joined.

Then pull the thread to join all the petals and make one more stitch to join the first petal with the last. In this way, the flower will already be formed.

Now it's time to take the base of the ring and glue it to the felt flower. In case the base of the ring has several holes, you can join both parts using a needle and thread.

Next, take the opportunity to sew the colored beads onto the flower. A few will be enough to give the flower a nice finish.

And ready! Your flower-shaped felt ring is finished.

  • Then trim the ends and round them off. Next, fold the cardboard in half so that the points that will make the bunny's ears match up.

Learn how to make spiral felt rings

Another very striking model to learn how to make felt rings is a spiral one. You won't need many materials and it is very easy to do with a little patience. It is perfect if you want to make a different and original craft.

Materials you will need to learn how to make spiral felt rings

  • Colored felt
  • water and thread
  • Scissors
  • Glue gun
  • One account
  • Scissors

Steps to learn how to make spiral felt rings

  • To start this craft we will have to cut two strips of felt approximately 30 centimeters long as well as two other shorter pieces of felt.
  • Next, take the small pieces of felt and start sewing two seams on the sides at a distance of half a centimeter, which will then form the ring.
  • After sewing both seams, trim the excess edges as close to the seam as possible.
  • Once you are done with this step, take the felt and measure on your finger the distance you will need to make your ring. If you have a little bit of felt left over, cut it out with the help of scissors. Measure the felt again on your finger and when the ends overlap it is time to stitch with the thread and needle to hold it in place.
  • To make the spiral bead, take the two long felt strips and place one on top of the other. Then she tries to align them as best as possible. Remember that the one you put below will be the one that remains visible later.
  • Then, put a bead of silicone on one end of the felt strips to close them. From there, the ribbons turn on themselves to make the spiral. Every certain distance, apply a little silicone to fix the bead in a spiral shape and continue rolling until the end. Apply a little silicone again to glue the other end.
  • The last step would be to sew a rounded bead to the center of the felt spiral bead with a few stitches. Finally sew the felt ring to the spiral bead.
  • And ready! You have now finished this beautiful handmade spiral felt ring.
