How To Make a Loop PomPom Flower

I love a felt flower project and this is an easy, quick and simple technique to create beautiful, full looped pom pom flowers - have a project in mind as you'll want to make loads of them!

What I Used:

Felt

Scissors

Glue Gun

These are one of the easiest flowers to create and are great to add texture, detail and interest to a collection of flowers or as embellishments.  Cut a length of felt, twice the width of the petal size you would like.  The longer the length of felt, the more full and larger in size your flower:

 The loops are created by folding the felt lengthways in half and then cutting along the length.  

To make this easier, I glue the fold in place with a hot glue gun, so that it is quick and easy.  

This also provides a sturdy base when the flower is constructed:  

 The cuts are made in to the fold, starting at one end to the other.  

Make the cuts so that they stop short of the felt edge [another way in which the line of glue 

comes in handy] and make these in as uniform or random cuts as you like - the width is also 

entirely to your preference, the narrower the cuts, the more loops you will achieve:

 Once complete, your flower is ready for construction.  

Begin rolling the felt from one end to the other.  I found adding a small dot of hot glue as I went along helped keep everything in place:

I also made the flower more 'full' by rolling my felt downwards slightly as I sent, creating a dome:

 To create more 'fullness', spread out the loops with your fingers and your flower is complete:

I also experimented with different lengths and cuts of different widths to see the effects:

  These are great embellishments and can be used for all sorts of projects:

...including gift wrap, of course!
