DIY Felt Flower Pins ~ Perfect for a Junior Girl Scout Craft (Flower Badge)

These super cute DIY Felt Flowers Pins are easy, affordable and a perfect craft for anyone over 8 years old, in fact it was a hit with my Junior Girl Scout Troop however, they needed help with the glue gun. 
Supplies Needed:
  • 2 - 6 inch pieces of felt in your favorite color-one needs to be 1 1/2 inch thick in width & other 2 1/2 each thick
  • 1 piece of felt shaped into a 2 inch circle
  • straight pins
  • scissors
  • needle and thread in matching color
  • hot glue gun and glue
  • button in desire color and shape
  • Pin backing

Fold the 2 pieces of felt in half and use the straight pins along the edge to secure.  Next, thread the needle and sew a stitch along the edge. 
Now gently tug the stitch to form a circle or u - shape. 
Next, sew a tight stitch at the  raw edge and secure.  Unfold both flowers and lay flat. 
Take your circle felt shape and place a dab of hot glue on the back.  Now take circle and place on back of flower; place 2nd flower on top.  Glue the back of the button and place on to of the flower. 
Finally, glue the pin backing on the back; wait until all is dry and set.  Enjoy!
