The tulip is a flower that most people associate with spring, the first warm days and the traditional holiday of all women - March 8th. Living flowers, unfortunately, tend to fade quickly. After a while there are no memories left of the gift. But a homemade tulip will be preserved for a long time and will decorate the room all year round. Sewing such a craft will not be difficult even for a novice craftsman. The process will certainly interest the child. He will be able to independently cut out the parts, glue them together, choose a color and form an elegant bouquet.

Many mothers were faced with the need to sew a tulip costume with their own hands for a matinee or a child’s performance in kindergarten or in elementary school. Usually such performances are organized in the spring to congratulate mothers and all women on their day. Making a decorative tulip is much easier than making a costume. It will take just a little time and perseverance to get an original flower.

What you need to sew tulips yourself - prepare the materials

The most convenient and easy-to-work material is felt. The fabric does not need edge processing, does not require special care, and is elastic and soft. To sew a tulip you should prepare:

• A sheet of paper, a simple pencil and a black or blue pen;
• Scissors, needle, pink, white and green threads;
• Bamboo sticks;
• A sheet of thick green felt;
• Soft white and pink felt.

The work is done manually. In some places, the stitching can be replaced with glue. It is also important to prepare a pattern. It consists of three parts - a stem, a petal and a leaf. We draw these fragments on paper and cut them out to transfer them to fabric. To make one flower, you need two parts of a leaf, one part of a stem, and two fragments of a bud.

1. We transfer the leaf to the green material twice.
2. Once on the green felt, trace and cut out a strip for the stem.
3. Cut out the bud twice on the pink fabric.
4. The bud is made of soft material to make it easier to turn out.
5. We work with the stem. We wrap the bamboo stick with a strip of green felt and sew along the length. The stem is also sewn at the bottom, otherwise the stick will fall out of the fabric.
6. We work with the bud. We sew two pink fragments along the edges, leaving a gap at the bottom. Turn the bud right side out and straighten it. We add volume using filler - padding polyester or holofiber. You should stuff the product as tightly as possible to the very top. A crochet hook, stick or simple pencil will be an excellent assistant.
7. We put a bud on the finished stem stick. The stem should go completely through the flower, resting on the very top.
8. Use pink thread to make a seam along the bottom of the bud, tie the thread to a knot at the end so that the seam does not unravel.
9. We tighten the thread as tightly as possible around the stem and tie a knot again.
10. To finally sew the bud to the base, we use a blind stitch.
11. The fabric that will remain at the base of the flower should be hidden inside when sewing.
12. All that remains is to decorate the product with leaves. Wrap a sheet of thick felt around the stem stick. The upper part remains free; only the base of the leaf is adjacent to the stem. Sew the leaf with small stitches.
13. Decorate the product with a second leaf. Place it slightly lower than the first sheet. We sew in the same way.

The felt tulip is ready!
