SO, It's Day Five! That means just two more tutorials left! Now these are a little weird. Weird in a cool way. I don't know exactly what to call these flowers, but I've totally seen something similar that exist in nature. It sort've reminds me of a hyacinth meets lavender and purple is one of my favorite colors so this thing adds a neat little flair to your bouquet.
Set Up:
- Glue Gun & Glue Sticks
- Scissors
- Felt Sheets (2 Shades of Purple, 1 Pink)
- Sticks with branches
- Time: The birthing part of A Baby Story
Step One: Cut some squares!
These squares are going to be your best friend. Cut slightly smaller than 1"x1" squares of each color. Mostly light purple, then dark purple, and just a few pink.
Step Two: Create the shape!
Take the squares and cut them into diamond like shapes. Add a criss cross into the center. Yeah, seriously, for the fifth time you're doing this again. But just in case you forgot, fold the shape in half cut a small slit, then fold in half again and cut another slit so you have an X slit in the center. It will have a hole like this:

Step Three: Add your petal pieces!
Slide your pieces onto the branches. Then put two small dots of glue onto the felt, pinch the felt in a diamond shape to the stick. Remember the paper fortuneteller game you used to make as a kid? That's the type of pinch you want.
Repeat this step so many times that you've burnt al the tips of your hands. Tip: I challenge you to never burn your hands using a hot glue gun. Seriously. You can't, it's impossible.
Step Four: You're Done!
You're finished! Now you have a beautiful purple branch! Repeat all these steps and make another one and another one and another one!! They are kinda neat and cool on their own and you can always change up the color scheme. Spray them with something that smells good so you can stop and take a whiff!
