Yesterday, I showed you how to make a burlap favor bag. Today, we’re going to make a felt peony to decorate the favor bag.
I found the template for the flower over at Yoonie at Home. Yoonie used the flower to make hair clips. You can use them to decorate just about anything!
Felt Flower Tutorial
Materials:
Felt
Straight pins
scissors
needle and thread
button
Download the template and print.
Cut out each shape and place on your felt. (I didn’t use the green leaf shape.)
Pin your shapes to the felt.
Cut out your shapes.
Stack your shapes in the same sequence as the diagram on the template.
Place button in centre and sew onto burlap bag.
Fill your bags with whatever you want! I love the idea of flower bulbs! Perfect for an eco-friendly wedding!

Love these DIY peony pockets - they turned out great and would be fabulous for a Eco-friendly wedding or bridal shower.
These are AWESOME! Most do it yourself favor bags are not in tune with what we wanted, but these are great. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the comments ladies!
thank you! These are great!! I have some leftover burlap and now I know what I can make with it.
Warm wishes, Tonya
These are so super cute!! I am in the process of making 100 or so of these for my wedding in August. However, after making a couple of them I decided to make them bigger so I can tell people that they can be used as cell phone holders. Small phones would fit in the current template size, but not smart phones. I did not want the bags to go to waste after spending so much time on them! I also found it too hard to sew the inside of the bag at the top, so I sewed the top first then the sides and they can only cinch closed on one side, but it still works.
I never thought of using them as cellphone holders. Great idea Andrea! Send pics when they are done!
Love the bags! I was wondering what kind of felt did you use? Is it a wool felt? It looks really great with the burlap.
Thanks Susan! It's not wool felt. I bought at Fabric Land.
C est très joli...A bientot.
