Make a flower friend for an indoor pot plant.

Warning: this is a very addictive activity!

These flowers make great plant pot pals.

Why not make a bouquet of woven wool flowers as a birthday or Mother’s Day present?

What you’ll need:

Cardboard
Wool, yarn, string, embroidery thread, thin ribbon or raffia
Lollipop sticks
Garden sticks
Coloured paper or card
Bowl, mug or plate to draw around
Pencil
Scissors (optional craft knife to cut circles from cardboard: adult use only)
Sticky tape

What to do:

Draw around a template and cut out circles from the cardboard.

Cut small incisions around the circle’s edge at regular intervals.

Choose your yarn.

Start off by taping a bit of wool at the back of the circle and start winding wool around the circle’s edge, making sure the wool goes through a cut each time.
If changing wool colour secure ends at the back with tape.

Once finished, add a lollipop or garden stick to the back along with a paper leaf and ta da! Woven wool flower is finished!
