Succulents

Each of these succulents is made using the same technique, just the felt color and leaf shape is different! To create large succulents, use all of the leaves. To make smaller succulents, stop adding leaves when you reach the desired size.

SUPPLIES

Blue-green felt

Succulent template

Scissors

Hot glue gun and glue sticks

STEP 1: Cut the pieces. Follow the succulent template to cut out five leaves in each size (extra-small, small, medium, and large) from the blue-green felt.

STEP 2: Create an arch. Using a tiny amount of glue, glue the extra-small leaves together in a slight arc, positioning each leaf to slightly overlap the previous one.

STEP 3: Roll the felt. Add glue to the bottom (narrow) edge and roll up the felt arch, working in sections. This will be the center of your succulent.

STEP 4: Create the remaining layers. Repeat Step 2, creating arches with each leaf size. Note: The flatter the arches are, the more upright the leaves will be in the finished succulent. The more curved the arches are, the flatter the leaves will be in the finished plant.

STEP 5: Attach the remaining layers. Working in sections, glue each arch around the center of the succulent, working from smallest to largest.

STEP 6: Make the other succulents. Use this same technique with different leaf templates and felt colors to make an entire succulent garden!
