Step 3: Assemble The Flowers

CAUTION the glue gun is very HOT, please take care while using it!

Rose Flower: (Red circles):

1: We are going to start assembling the first flowers, in this case we are going to start with the one that has the circles as petals. We are going to grab our floral wire, we are going to connect our glue hot gun and we are going to start using it.

We are going to glue one petal at the time, and when applying the glue, we are going to apply it over the felt in a smile shape, something like:

2: We are going to glue it over our flower wire and round it over, making sure that is really glue to the wire:

3: We are going to apply the glue to the second circle (smile shape) and we are going to make sure that we do not apply it over the back of the previous petal, so we can go round them:

4: You are going to continue applying one petal at the time until you are done with all the petals:

5: After that we are going to proceed adding the base of the flower, to do this, we are going to apply glue all over the base of the flower and we are going to proceed to glue it:

6: Your first flower is done! If you are planning to have more colors of this type of flower, you just need to do the same process.

7: You are going to cut using the wire cutter, all the wire up to the bottom of the flower:

Yellow Felt Flower: (in our Design Space design was the pink one)

1: We are going to grab one of our small rectangles (the one that we created a lot of cuts over it) and we are going to glue it rounding it over the flower wire:

After rolling all the square, you should have something like:

2: Now, we are going to start gluing our petals, as previously, one at the time, this time we are going to glue 4 petals per row:

3: For the second row, you are going to make sure that you glue each petal between the 2 petals from the first row:

4: You are going to do the same with the other rows, making sure that the one more on the outside of the flower covers the space between the 2 petals from the previous row:

5: Once you are done with all the petals, you are going to glue the base of your flower and going to place the base of the flower and you are also going to cut the excess of the floral wire:

Violet/Lila Felt Flower: (in our Design Space design was the violet/lila one)

1: We are going to start with the same process as our previous flowe, by rolling the rectangle over the floral wire.

2: We are going to place as before, one petal at the time, but this time when gluing the petal over the center we are going to apply a pinch over the petal, we are going to do 2 rows with 3 petals per row:

3: For the second row, we are going to apply the same process as the previous flower and we are also going to cut the excess of the floral wire.

Leaves:

1: You are going to apply like a line at the bottom of the leaves and glue the 2 sides together like a pinch in the bottom of the leave:
