31 DIY projects in 31 days – Day One
1 Hello October, Fall and the beginning of the Holiday season! I’m starting a new blogging series today: 31 DIY projects in 31 days. I’m also joining a group of creative bloggers taking part in the 31 in 2011 challenge, by doing 31 blog posts in 31 days.
For the next 31 days I will be sharing a different Do It Yourself project each day.
Day One – Felt Flower.
Thank you to Emily at Jones Design Company for the tutorial.
Materials: Felt (I bought two 29 cent sheets at Michaels), hot glue gun, pen, scissors, and a pin or hair clip.
Make a flower and circle pattern and trace your flower petals onto the felt. I made seven flower petals. Cut out your petals and circle.
Step three: Fold in half.
Step four: Fold in half again.
Step five: Cut off the bottom point.
Step six: Glue onto circle piece. Repeat with remaining petals and… Enjoy the gorgeous felt flower you just made!
45 minutes and a cup of coffee later I now have two adorable felt flowers!
To do this DIY project yourself see the tutorial here.
Tomorrow I think I’ll use my remaining felt to make bows!

I loooove those little flowers. I can’t think of a reason I need them…but I’m going to keep thinking!
I’m joining in on the challenge, too. 31 days of Life’s Little Flowers; seeing small moments of beauty.
That is so cute! I’m a new follower (found you at The Nesting place) and I look forward to following your projects! I’ll be doing a series too so this should be fun.

Love DYI things! Looking forward to reading 31 posts!
Great tutorial! I’m doing a 31 day series on Autumn Inspiration. Can’t wait to see the rest of your series!
Very cute! It is a simple project, that I am going to have to try quite soon. The question is…what color should I make?
And on top of choosing a color, today I discovered glitter felt in fuchsia pink. I know some little girls who are going to love that!
