FELT:

For the succulents I used Rainstorm and Latte. Find this exact felt and many more colors at Benzie Design.

• You’ll Need: 12″ x 10″ rectangle of felt for each succulent

Upload

Upload your felt succulent .SVG cut file into Design Space and add it to your canvas. Then customize as you’d like and prepare to cut.

• Choose: Felt, Wool Fabric as your cut setting and use the rotary blade.

You can drag to resize this file larger or smaller with no problem. If you try to make it too small the smaller details won’t cut properly.

Let Your Maker Work Its Magic

Add the felt to the Cricut Fabric Mat, click to load the mat and press Go! Carefully remove the excess felt and all petals…

Assemble The Succulent Center

Take the small oval petal and hot glue it around a floral wire, pinch until cool.

You’ll want to use a glue gun that can do low-heat so you don’t burn your finger tips!

Add The Petals

You’ll have 26 succulent petals total; 2 small, 8 medium, 16 and large. Start by hot gluing the small petals to the center first. Add a bit of glue, hold around the center and pinch it a little for volume. Keep adding petals until the succulent takes it’s shape. Move from smaller to larger, or swap a few for added volume.

Succulent Bottom

To finish off the succulent, glue the wavy round circle leaf/petal to the base. Voila! You’re felt succulent is complete!

Feel free to make larger or smaller blooms, including more petals or less petals to change up the look!

Have A Few Questions?

• Can I cut the felt flowers with my Cricut Explore? Yes, but it will take a little bit more effort. Visit this page to learn about what materials your Cricut Explore can cut.
• How do I clean my fabric mat? To clean light scraps and fuzz, a lint roller works great. Try not to touch your mat as the oils in our skin can damage it. Use your tweezers to remove large strings and pieces.
• What if I don’t have a Cricut? You can print out our free .PDF pattern at the end of the post and cut the flowers out by hand, like we used to have to do before the Maker!
