20 Rolled Felt Flowers with your Cricut

Rolled felt flowers are not new… they’re not even kind of new BUT they are a great base for almost any project. I tend to whip up a few dozen at a time to keep on hand. You can follow my easy rolled felt flower tutorial here if you need a few pointers.

The best part is there are so many options… you can make big or small flowers (check out my felt flower size chart for info on how big to cut your flower so it’s the right finished size for your project). So today I’ve gathered 20 different felt flowers (from the Cricut Access Library and from my own personal stash) and we’re going to go over cutting different felt flowers with your Cricut.

That way you’ll have a little variety!

Supplies:

Step 1: Prep Cricut Design Space

Before we can start cutting we need a design file to cut! I’ve loaded alllllll of the rolled felt flowers I could find onto one canvas that you can access here. The flowers are organized into one, two and three inch flowers so you can cut whichever size you like!

I’m cutting the 2 inch flowers so I’ll turn the other two layers off.

I’m also using 8.5 x 11 felt so once you click make it you’ll want to switch the material size from 12×12 to 8.5 x 11 so that all of your little felt flowers will cut on your felt… and not on your cutting mat!

Then it’s time to prep your felt to cut!

Step 2: Cut your Felt!

Ready for the fun part? Well keep waiting because this isn’t it.

It’s not a bad part… just reallllllly long. Felt takes a while to cut! I literally set these to cut and and went to get my hair cut… they had just finished when I got home two and a half hours later.

We’ll start by grabbing a fabric grip mat (or a strong grip mat…. something extra sticky) and laying our felt down in the upper left corner. Smooth it out making sure there are no air bubbles underneath and then use the brayer to really bond the felt onto the cutting mat.

If the felt shifts at all during cutting you won’t get clean edges (at best) or an entire portion or the flower will get cut off (at worst). So bonded is definitely best!

Then you can load in your rotary blade and hit go! I know the machine says the fine point blade is recommended but I’ve tried both and the rotary blade does far superior cuts in my opinion… but feel free to test it out!

Step 3: Remove your Rolled Felt flowers from the Cutting Mat

Once all of your flowers are cut you can expel the cutting mat from the machine and remove the outer bit of felt… leaving only your flowers. Then use your little spatula tool to carefully lift each flower off the mat.

You don’t want to tug or pull on the flowers (or the felt might rip) so the spatula helps to lift them straight up without any pulling or tearing.

Which is exactly what we want!

Once all your flowers are removed you’ll have a spiral of felt within a larger spiral of felt… one is our rolled felt flower and the other is the negative space we don’t need. Go ahead and separate them… then you can throw away the portion we don’t need!

Step 4: Glue your Rolled Felt Flowers Together!

Volia! Look at all those pretty pieces of felt! I’ve laid them out exactly how they were in Cricut Design Space so you can see how they look in the real world.

Then I turned on my hot glue gun and grabbed a pair of reverse tweezers to start gluing these babies together!

20 flowers later and we’re done! I definitely had a few that were easier to cut than others and a few that I prefer… the ones with more scalloped loopy petals!

But those are my favorite… you might like a completely different flower.

Step 5: Enjoy!

Once all the flowers are done you’ll have a great selection to use for your next project. PLUS you’ll know which ones you like best to try in the other sizes.

I like to make a few of each so I can glue, glue, glue and then be finished. I’ll put them in a big container and the next time I need a felt flower I’ll have some on hand.
