My inspiration- these Rifle Paper Co two toned buds!I’m currently working on a super-special gift for Piper that includes felt flowers, and I noticed that one of the ‘signature looks’ of the Rifle Paper Co. flowers are these sweet, two-toned buds.

To make a Rifle Paper inspired felt flower-

how to make Rifle Paper Co. inspired felt flowers
1- Gather a pile of coordinating wool felt (I keep coming back to this palette of pinks and peaches, but I also love the brighter pops of color in this palette and have already ordered this wool felt palette as well)

2- Cut a thin rectangle of felt (about 1/2″ tall and 4″ wide). Fringe one edge. Roll into a fringe-edged tube, hot gluing as you roll to secure.

3- Stack two pieces of coordinating felt or wool felt (I like the wool-felt blend better because it seems to cut better and just look better, but either one will work)

4- Cut out small stacked squares (about 3″ x 3″). Round the corners so you have two stacked oval/circles. Cut into a stacked spiral. (*To see pictures of 4, 5 and 6 see the photos below).

5- Separate the pieces of felt and trim off the edge of the interior spiral.

6- Hot glue the two spirals together.

6- Glue the inner edge of the spiral to the fringed tube. Continue to roll and glue until the two toned bud is finished.
