This week I got out my fall decor bind ready to decorate my new house. I love this time of the year. But when I opened the bind all I found were a few pumpkins. BUMMER. So that gave me an excuse to make some fall themed crafts. Thanks to Pinterest and some great deals at Hobby Lobby I took my boring home and made it into some autumn love.

FELT ROSES:

Cut your felt into a large circle. The larger the circle the larger the flower.

Cut the felt in a circular/spiral pattern weaving as you go.

Leave a circle at the end. Here is what it looks like.

Take the end and begin rolling it, pinching with your fingers as you go. The looser the roll the more full your rose will be.



Hot glue the flower to the circle at the end.

Ta Da

Then I hot glued the roses to the bottom of my lamp shade and added the ribbon around the top. I didn't glue the ribbon so that I can change it based on the season.
