Inspired by Tabby's clover-and-sakura project (at http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/felt-four-leaf-clover. Thank you, Tabby), I modified the size of the sakura petals slightly and added a dash of colour to the blossoms.

Description

Inspired by Tabby's clover-and-sakura project (at http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/felt-four-leaf-clover. Thank you, Tabby), I modified the size of the sakura petals slightly and added a dash of colour to the blossoms.

Instructions

  1. Small 102190 2f2014 05 29 130943 20140526 214934 1 1 2

    Cut out the pink felt (petal) pieces according to the shown shape and desired size. You would need five separate petals for each sakura (cherry blossom).

  2. Small 102190 2f2014 05 29 130951 20140529 192454 1 1 2

    First, string all five petals into a row using a similarly-coloured embroidery thread. Next, once you are done with threading them together, pull the thread so that the petals are bunched up together. Lastly, tie the string together to secure the petals in place.

    You could also try using a greater range of colours for a prettier effect of sakura blossoms. Have fun!
