Sunflower DIY (Free Template and SVG) Instructions

Step 1 – Cut out the flowers

Print up the pdf pattern or load the SVG files into design space. The SVG files are designed to cut out 4 flowers total. If using the PDF you can modify to allow for what you want to make.

Using the rotary blade on the Cricut Maker cut out the following:

Cut 4 of the yellow sheets.

Remove the excess fabric.

Delicately pull each petal inward to the center of the circle.

Then lift the flower layer off the mat. This will prevent any petals from tearing off onto the mat.

Continue until all of the elements are removed.

Cut out the seed strips and the centers.

Gently remove from the mat.

To make one flower you will need one of each yellow flower petal center (totaling 4), 1yellow circle backing, 1 brown circle of the seed center, and 3 – 4 brown seed strips.

Step 2 – Begin to Make the Sunflower

We need to give the sunflower some shape. to do this we’re going to help the petals look ore three dimensional.

Take the side of the petal that is not attached to the center and fold it over so it is on top of where the petal is attached. Glue it into place.

Continue to do this all the way around the flower.

Repeat with all the layers of the flower.

Step 3- Build the layers of the Felt Sunflower

Starting with the bottom layer ( the one with the largest center circle) Place each layer on top of each other ending with the smallest center circle.
