I'm usually not crazy about sunflowers, but this idea just hit me last week. I really wanted to use coffee beans in the center and a sunflower seemed like a good fit.
This pillow was part of my inspiration for the petals. It was so easy to do and using felt makes for a really durable final product.
Here are all the supplies you'll need
Biggest petals: 2" x 6"
and there are 16 of them *done in yellow felt*
Medium petals: 2" x 4"
16 of these *done in yellow felt*
Smallest petals: 2" x 2.5"
12 of these *done in orange felt*
Cut out the petals and lay them out on your paper plate. This step helps you determine if you have enough petals and you like the way the flower looks
This is the outermost row of petals.
Put a dab of hot glue near the base of a petal
Fold the two sides in near the base to make each petal more dimensional
*be careful not to burn yourself (like I did)*
Place them under something heavy to dry
I used a glass but a book would do. Repeat this step until all your petals are curled up and glued
Now you get to form the flower. Start with the biggest petals and hot glue each one to the plate. The edge of the base of the petals in the outside row were about 3" in from the edge of the plate
Continue all the way around with that row. Start the 2nd row (medium sized yellow petals) about 1" inside of where the first row petal edges are. I think I got a little overzealous at this point... there aren't any pics from this step.
Start the 3rd row of smallest orange petals about 1" closer to the center than the 2nd row. Go all the way around with the orange petals. Then you'll have this
So far so good! Now make a brown circle out of felt. I loosely traced around a glass... this can be a very wacked out circle and still look good in my opinion
Cut out the brown circle and hot glue it to the center of your plate, covering the folded edges of your smallest flower petals
Now you start gluing your coffee beans to the brown felt
Do a small area at a time
Until the brown circle is completely covered
That's it! I glued a string to the back of the plate so that I could hang it on the door. Cheap. Easy. Fun! This really brightens up the front door; it's just a cheery image to come home to.
Thanks for visiting! It means so much to me that you took the time to stop by. All the support from this community is making blogging so much fun!

Here are all the supplies you'll need
- Felt in yellow, orange and brown
- Sharpie marker
- scissors
- coffee beans... I found a bag of "decorative" ones at Michaels on clearance for $.29!
- a paper plate or other cardboard-like circle around 10" in diameter
- glue gun

DeleteGreat idea and outcome! Maybe "door decor" instead of "wreath" ;-) Just an idea :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea! I still have a flag bucket filled with flowers on my front door and it is time for me to change it out to something summery. How many sheets of each color of felt did you buy?
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Love that you made it out of simple household items and some creativity! It looks beautiful and your tutorial is great! Thanks for sharing with the Pink Hippo party.. can't wait to see what you share next week!
ReplyDeleteIngenious! We have an acquaintance whose front door is adorned with a giant sunflower and I always admire it. Thankfully she doesn't live in my neighborhood because now I can have one too!
ReplyDeleteWow--- you did a great job on this! It turned out so very pretty.....thanks for sharing little tutorial on it!
ReplyDeleteIt's so bright and fresh and fun! LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteHave you had any trouble with bugs in the beans? Just curious if maybe I should add some shellac to the center to ward off critters. ☺
She used instation ones.
DeleteWow, so creative, I love it!
ReplyDeleteNow that makes a statement. This is a GREAT idea. I can so see this on my front door. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteOh this is gorgeous - so happy!! Found you via Tea Rose Home and will definitely pin this to my Pinterest page! Well done!
ReplyDeleteLove this! Found your from the linky party on Night Owl Crafting.
ReplyDeleteThe attention to detail on this is staggering...and I am a sucker for sunflowers and gerbera daisies...

ReplyDeleteThis is so cool! I am a new follower. Stopping by to invite you to link up to Thrifty Thursdays. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteJohnnie
Coffee beans?? You are a genius!! I love it!! It turned out super cute & is a perfect door decor!
ReplyDeleteI think this project could easily be converted into a lotus flower with pink felt and a yellow center. Hmmmm... I am so tempted to try it. I'm wondering, will the color of the felt fade in the sun? Dropping in from The Tattered Tag. Lola from www.buddhatropolis.com
ReplyDeleteSunflowers are beautiful, the brighten up every place where they are. I love them and how they can follow the sun, great choice. Also easy, effective craft. Love it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling idea! It looks great against your red door and so cheerful. Thanks for sharing it at Inspiration Friday!

ReplyDeleteHi! I love this! I just found your Sunflower Wreath on Pinterest & now your blog. I just finished making a Sunflower Wreath myself that I made from recycled water bottles, pistachio shells, yarn and a few paper plates. I know it sounds horrendous but it turned out really cute! I just had to show you a picture so I posted one to your Facebook page. And if you want you can see my process here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.3871155090801.2150445.1036342162&type=3&l=9f807dce75
ReplyDeleteI love this! How many sheets of yellow and orange did you buy?
ReplyDeleteHooked on Free Crochet just featured your wreath - so adorable!!!! I'm thinking I'll make one now and call it 'Mum Wreath' for fall! Thank you so much for sharing your awesome idea!
ReplyDeleteexcelente idea , gracias por compartir algo tan bello, bendiciones
ReplyDeleteYou could always use plastic spoons - broken off and just use the "spoon" part. Spray paint in two shades of yellow. Use a dessert size and then a teaspoon size - that would be water proof.
ReplyDeleteI love what you put in the middle. Using real food makes it so much more artistic.
ReplyDeletelisa
Just love it - beautiful !!
ReplyDelete/Berith
I'm going to make this sunflower this weekend. This is beautiful. I'm making another one out of gift wrap tissue for a bulletin board. Thanks for the great idea.
ReplyDeletehow much of the felt should be bought?
ReplyDeleteI love this. I hope to make a wreath for every season or even every month of the year and this one is perfect. Thank you for sharing this tutorial.
ReplyDeleteI love this, very cute. Thanks for sharing. Now I have an idea for a fall wreath. Awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this, very cute. Thanks for sharing. Now I have an idea for a fall wreath. Awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great tutorial! Only thing I would do differently is to use black oil sunflower seeds in the middle rather than coffee beans. I mean, isn't that more appropriate?
ReplyDeleteQue hermosa manualidad para hacer con los peques/so cute craft to make with kids. 👍😉

ReplyDeleteI was searching for a loan to sort out my bills & debts, then I saw comments about Blank ATM Credit Cards that can be hacked to withdraw money from any ATM machines around you . I doubted this but decided to give it a try by contacting { officialblankatmservice@gmail.com} they responded with their guidelines on how the card works. I was assured that the card can withdraw $5,000 instant per day & was credited with $50,000,000.00 so i requested for one & paid the delivery fee to obtain the card, after 24 hours later, i was shock to see the UPS agent in my resident with a parcel {card} i signed and went back inside to pick up my car key and drove to a nearest ATM machine to confirmed if the card really work to my greatest surprise it did.. This is no doubt because I have the card & have made use of the card. These hackers are UK based hackers set out to help people with financial freedom!!
