it is said that “Imitation is the greatest form of flattery” and today I am Imitating Wendy Chung’s Tutorial: Paper Flower Table Setting of Dozi Design idea for the roses on the branches. When I saw the paper roses and I decided to make my own template and do felted roses. I found this Wendy Chung’s idea so pristine and beautiful that I had to give it a try. I created a little template for you to use and you can print it out right from this column it is 4 inches by 4 inches and simply pin the pattern to the felt and cut the spiral. I found that I could get 3 roses out of one spiral and 1 tree out of one spiral. Using the same template I also created the little green tree and I think you will have fun making these beautiful branches for your holiday decor. I suggest you look at Wendy’s tutorial first.
Wendy also has a ETSY shop called “Dozi” where she carried stunning items.
Hello – so glad you enjoyed the tutorial and using it with felt! It looks great – I love the little tree as well!
that little tree is really adorable and I am bookmarking this rose tutorial!
Thank you both 🙂 My daughter wants an arrangement but she also wants a vase and it was not cheap, so I been scanning the net for similar vases on sale 🙁
I have used this idea with many different colored fabrics. I use liquid stiffner to “stay the fabric; this keeps it from unraveling.
I find MANY beautiful fabrics that are so expensive, so I buy a few inches of them or if I am LUCKY I am GIVEN 4-6 inches as samplers swatches and this is the greatest idea to use some of the fabric for. It works for very large flowers, too. Kate
Thanks Kate,
What a wonderful addition to this post. You are a clever lady.

I saw this first on Dozi, but I love the idea of using felt instead of paper!
Im a newbie senior and just love the felt roses, red pussy willows on twigs. If a lot to learn & catch up on. Fine work. Susan J
