Directions

1. Cut Felt

Print and/or trace the Cut Template onto Freezer Paper (dull side), then iron the shiny side to felt. Cut all pieces. Alternatively, you can use a Cricut or electronic cutting machine with the free SVG file.

2. Glue Magnets

Use either hot glue or E6000 to adhere magnets to felt.

3. Glue Felt

Use either hot glue or Turbo Tacky Glue to glue two felt pieces together (with the magnet sandwiched inside).

Ta-Da!

Continue to make more flowers in your favorite felt color combinations, then display special photos, notes, and lists on a metal project board or refridgerator.
