Things you will need: Wool Blend Felt from Benzie Design is perfect for this project -I used 12x18" sheets in Kelly and Emerald. But feel free to use yards for really big leaves! Freezer Paper (or regular paper) & Scissors (or use the Cricut Maker) Spray stiffener Glue (tacky or hot glue will work) Florist wire, 18 gauge PDF Pattern or SVG Pattern -scale as needed.
First -get your pattern ready. We provided a couple of different sizes but feel free to scale the print to the size you want. The most basic way to transfer the pattern to the felt is to print the pattern on basic copy paper to the size you would like, cut out, pin pattern to the felt then cut out. You can also use freezer paper to transfer the pattern or the Cricut Maker. Save your felt scraps -we will use them later!
Grab your spray stiffener and spray down your leaves over some scrap paper or cardboard. The more you spray -the more stiff the leaves will be. If you want more floppy leaves -spray less. Wait till dry.
Cut out oblong vein shape out of your leftover felt.
Use the vein to glue the florist wire in place. To make extra long stems -twist two wires together.
Arrange in a vase! You can a few leaves or make a whole leafy plant! Add in a few poms to hold them in place. Happy Crafting!
