Easy Felt Flower Ring DIY

| | |

Oh we do love a simply DIY. Today, we are sharing with you a super easy felt flower RING DIY. Yes, we are getting to that age, where making DIY jewellery is very appealing. We have a massive set of rings already.. but haven’t had a chance to share all the tutorials with you yet (having said that, you can preview the majority of the rings here!! I can’t decide which is my favourite.. love them all).

This Felt Flower Ring was inspired by a detail in this lovely Doll Making Book (US/ UK aff links – do check it out!! Seriously gorgeous). What I really LOVE about this flower ring, is that it is a simple sewing projects for slightly older kids AND I used a bit of elastic for the “ring” – ie unlike many jewellery DIYs, you don’t need any specialist equipment – e.g. ring clasps, strong glue etc. (though some of my other Ring DIYs DO need those..). As mentioned, I do think this is a slightly advance sewing project (as it is a little fiddlier… it isn’t difficult, but harder for small hands), so if you are looking for Sewing Projects for Beginners, we do have a great resource for you here too!

How to make Felt Flower Ring DIY

Yes yes yes.. another little YouTube video for you.. but as per usual, I have also added some written instructions for you below!!! I hope the combination of both is helpful. This is a slightly different video than usual.. as I wasn’t REALLY intending to create a video for you, but decided to film myself whilst making “just in case”…… so you will see me “working in progress”, with tweaks to the design as I go along, as well as a “voice over” explaining what I am doing. Hope you find this Felt Flower Ring video helpful!!

 

How to make Felt Flower Ring DIY – Step By Step Written instructions

The petals of your felt flower

  • Start off by cutting out 5 petal shapes in the light pink felt. I ended up trimming them down later.. but made them fairly large to begin with. The petal shape is sort of oval with a dip in the side.
  • Then arrange the 5 petals in a felt flower shape and see if you like the look of them together. You may need to trim them a little to not make them TOO big for you hand. Though I do love an oversized ring!
  • Sew the petals carefully together. I probably only used 2-3 stitches per petal pair.

Adding a “ring” to your felt flower

  • Next, take your elastic and knot it into a circle that comfortably fits your ring finger. The elastic I used is quite thick.
  • Get your dark pink felt tip pen and add some flower details.
  • Trim the knot end (but not too much so that the knot doesn’t come undone).
  • Carefully poke it into the centre of your 5 petals. Check for size.
  • Sew the elastic into place.

Finishing off your felt flower ring

  • Cut a navy blue felt flower centre and place over the top of the elastic. Make sure it fits  nicely onto your flower but also covers the elastic.
  • Sew the blue felt flower centre into place.

Your DIY felt flower ring is now FINISHED!!! I hope you like it!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE wearing mine and it features in many of my YouTube videos!

If you are just starting out to teach kids to sew, I have to fantastic resources for you – Teaching Kids to Sew and Sewing Projects for Beginners. To take a look and explore these too!
