Flowers are a wonderful gift.  But the problem with flowers, is that their beauty only lasts for a short times because they start to wither and die.  Of course if you are going to make your own felt flowers, you know that they can last forever!  This DIY FELT SUCCULENT CRAFT will add life to your home and is a great craft for kids to make too. You could also make this as a homemade gift for a friend.

2. Place the propeller shapes on top of each other but do not stack them. You want them to fan out and not be directly overlapping each other.

3. Bend the felt upwards pinching the underneath as you do. Take the string or twine and tie a knot around the bunch to keep it secure.
