Step-by-Step: Let’s Make DIY Felt Daisy Coasters!
Ready to bring some cozy charm to your coffee table?
Follow along… I’ll walk you through every step!
1. Make Your Felt Balls (Skip if You Bought Premade)
If you’re feeling extra crafty and have felting wool, go ahead and needle felt your own balls.
You’ll want them to be firm and around the size of a large marble.
Make a good handful of white ones for the petals and a few yellow ones for the daisy center.
Tip: This step is super fun and oddly satisfying… perfect for a cozy crafting evening.
2. Trace the Daisy Design Onto Cork
Grab your cork mat and daisy template. Place the template on the cork, hold it steady, and use your Sharpie to trace the flower shape.
3. Cut Out Your Daisy Shape
Using a sharp pair of scissors, carefully cut along the lines you just traced.
Go slow and steady around those curves to keep your daisy shape nice and even.
4. Start Gluing from the Center Out
Heat up your glue gun… it’s time for the fun part!
Begin by gluing a yellow felt ball right in the center of your cork flower.
Keep adding yellow balls to form the daisy’s middle.
Once the center is done, move on to the white balls for the petals. Work your way outward, petal by petal, until you’ve covered the shape.
It’s totally fine if they aren’t perfectly symmetrical…
it just adds handmade charm!
