Felt Lollipop DIY

Sugar and Christmas are hand in hand in my mind and so often my holiday crafting turns to sugary sweets. I love the look of these heart shaped lollipops. The added sequins create a little sparkle if you choose to hang them on a tree or add them to a gift. You don’t have to save these cuties for Christmas they also look super cute as is and are perfect for some valentines day love or just a sweet reminder that you’re loved.

3″ x5″ scrap felt color or print of your choice, I used Lipstick and Sprout

DIY Felt Food – Chocolate Heart Cake

Embracing this months cottage cozy theme I knew if I was going to make a felt cake it would need to be chocolate and it would need to be a heart shape. A little felt cake that would be simple to make but would look right at home in a play picnic basket or tea party.

I experimented with adding some DIY felt roses as an added accent to this felt food cake pattern but it just lacked the simple rustic feel I was hoping for. I love the look of the felt daises against this fun felt dessert. If you are wondering how to make a felt heart cake, it really is surprisingly easy. Below you will find a tutorial for a simple heart shaped cake tutorial dripping with a dark chocolate felt “ganache” and accented with DIY felt daisies.

You will need:

9″ x 6″ felt cake color I used Brownie

9″ x 12″ felt icing color I used Chocolate

Stuffing, scraps or foam to fill heart cake

Cut:

2 Cake sides from light brown felt

2 icing sides from icing color, top and bottom from icing felt

(you can create a bottom from light brown if accuracy is important to you)

Sew daisies to felt cake top, you can also glue these down with got glue if desired.

Sew icing drips to both sides of cake with matching thread and a running stitch.

Place cake sides outsides facing and sew sides together. This meeting point will the the dip at the top of the heart.

Sew the top to the side with and overcast stitch and matching thread.

Sew bottom the felt heart cake the same way as the top. Add filling, stuffing or foam before closing to help it hold structure. If you find it too lumpy try reinforcing the sides with a bit of thin cardboard (like a cereal box) before stuffing.

Felt in rainbow colors I used Lavender, Pink Tutu, Flamingo, Egg Yolk, Chartreuse, Ice, Aqua, Mint and Sunshine.

Green felt for rose base and leave I used Fresh Cut Grass

A 9″ x 0.5″ scrap of felt the color doesn’t matter as it will be entirely covered

Hot glue gun and glue

Pattern to make felt rainbow roses (PDF pattern for felt roses)

Cut

1 strip from any color felt

Petals as marked on pattern from various felt colors

1 base and 1 of each leaf from green felt

You have lots of options for rainbow rose petal layout you can place the matching petal colors together, lay them adjacently so they slightly meet along the rose or my favorite look which was to lay the felt rose petals randomly. The more petals you choose to use the fuller your rose will be so feel free to keep adding until you are happy with the look of your felt roses.

Wrap Strip around wire gluing as you go. Set aside

Take the half circle piece and glue to create a cone.

Glue cone to the wrapped wire. Set aside.

Lay the inner petals down and run glue along one of the rounded sides.  Add all the inner petals.

Roll inner felt petals together and hot glue along the open sides.

Glue to cone on the wire. And lay a 1″ length of hot glue along the side.

Add the 4 middle petals to the base overlapping slightly.

Fill the gap at the base with a bit of hot glue and press inward and pinch together.

Place a line of hot glue along two of the middle petals.

Begin placing the outer petals centered so they don’t overlap and the petals flare out more. Repeat until you are happy with the look of your rainbow felt roses.

Lay hot glue around the inner gaps a the base of the rose and pinch together just as you did in a prior step. Press until glue sets.

Cut a line to the center of the rose base so you can slip it over the wire and place hot glue over the whole shape, carefully slip onto the base of the felt rainbow rose with glue side down. Press pieces together.

To make felt rose leaves.

Lay glue down the center of the leaf and press one side of the 6″ wire to the leaf, pinch at the base.

Repeat with second leaf and side. Twist the felt leaves around the rose and add a bead of hot glue to hold firmly.  Adjust leaves as desired.

Happy Crafting
