You will need:


  • Scraps of felt

  • Scissors

  • Needle and matching threads

  • Sewing machine (optional)


Written instructions and photos are below, or scroll to the end for the video tutorial.


STEP 1

Download the pattern pieces template using the link below, then, from felt, cut:

  • 1 x egg back

  • 1 x egg pocket

  • 5 x petals, and

  • 2 x leaves

STEP 2

Thread your needle with a double thread and use a continuous running stitch to connect the petal pieces to form a circle, as shown in the photos below.

Gently pull the thread to gather the petals into a neat flower shape. Add a few small stitches at the center to secure the shape.

STEP 5

Fold the straight edge of the pocket over by approximately 1cm (3/8 inch). Pin in place, then stitch it down either by hand or with a sewing machine.


Don't tie off the thread yet—you can use it to attach the flower to the pocket in a later step.

STEP 6

With the right side facing up, place the egg pocket on top of the egg and pin it in place. Stitch around the entire edge using a blanket stitch or similar, either by hand or with a sewing machine.


TIP: Start and finish your stitching where the flower will be placed to neatly conceal any overlapping stitches.
