We’ve previously made a lovely paper lotus flower for Diwali. The paper flower was beautiful, simple to make, and quick to finish. Today, we’re making a durable Lotus flower out of wool felt. We won’t claim this Lotus flower is quick and easy to make—because it isn’t. Is it difficult to make, then? Not exactly; it just requires a good deal of persistence—this flower has a lot of petals!
Here’s how to make a wool felt lotus flower
Print the petals on the PDF and cut them out
