Needle Felted Flower Garden Picture E-Pattern for 8 3/4" by 6 1/4" Needle Felted Picture Sponge Painted Shadowbox Tray - Needle Felting Series -Pattern Category - Skill Level - Beginner
For my last needle felted flower creation I decided I wanted to create a flower garden scene using a combination of the dark blue and dark green 100% wool felt 12" by 12" needle felted sheets I had bought felted to a backing of Nu-foam.
My flower garden picture was going to have a blue sky with white clouds, green grass, and brown soil. To create the soil I decided to use some of the wonderful medium brown alpaca roving from my sister's alpaca, Ivy. For the white clouds in the sky I decided to use some of the wonderful white alpaca roving from my sister's alpaca, Sunflower. All of this I was going to enclose in a 8 3/4" by 6 1/4" by 2" deep unfinished shadowbox tray sponge painted with lively spring colors.
I decided to create the needle felted flowers using stainless steel flower cookie cutter molds that I had. The flower cookie cutter molds came in a 3/4", 1", and 2" and larger sizes. I also decided to use a 1" leaf from a set of stainless steel leaf molds that I also had.
I also wanted my flowers to be combination of multi-layers of petals and a single layer of petals. I wanted the flowers and leaves to be different colors and for some of the flowers to have stems. I decided to use medium blue, dark blue, lilac, purple, pink, black, apricot roving, white alpaca roving from Sunflower, and medium brown alpaca roving from Ivy. Lime green roving and sage green roving would be the colors for the flowers leaves.
I was pleased with the way my needle felted flower picture turned out and decided to create and e-pattern out of it so you could create a needle felted flower picture of your own.
My pattern includes tips for needle felting, step-by-step instructions for completing my flower picture , a colored flower picture instruction steps sheet so you can see what piece belongs to what step, and a colored flower picture layout sheet that is approximately the size of your needle felted flower picture.
I hope you like my needle felted flower picture and hope you decide to create one of your own.
