How to Make Layered Felt Flowers

Spend a rainy day making felt flowers or teaching your children to make felt flowers to embellish all sorts of different items. Once your felt flowers are done, you can attach them to pin backs to use as lapel pins, sew them onto tote bags, glue them to the cover of a notebook or use them to embellish scrapbook pages.
