1

Make yourself a square template out of paper. My template measure 2" by 2" but you can make yours larger or smaller depending upon how you want your flower to look. Draw out eight squares on to the felt using a pencil or chalk and cut them out.
2

Take a felt square and pinch it together in the middle.
3

Snip the bottom of the square off.
4

Take a needle and thread and stitch together so the pinched petal shape is secured.
5

Take another square and repeat the previous steps. You will now have a cluster of two petals stitched together at the top.
6

Stitch down the center between the two petals, stitch together until about half way down.
7

Repeat the previous steps to make 3 more petal clusters. Begin stitching the clusters together in the same way.
8

When finished, stitch the opening in the center of the flower together.
9

Decorate the flower with buttons and beads. Attach a button to the front with embroidery thread leaving the ends to hang out at the front. Make sure you have left long tails at each side.
10

Attach beads to the end of each tail tieing a secure knot to ensure that the beads wont fall off. Sew a clip on to the back and put in your hair, on you handbag or anywhere you like.
