I think you could make all sorts of beautiful flowers based on this tutorial. Just different petal shapes. Paper might be a neat way to go as well.

Winter Blooms - Felt Dahlia
I finished one of my Creative Space projects last night.
I am rather pleased with it, even though Mr. Riley thinks its rather gaudy. I have big plans to use it for a belt for a holiday outfit - but we'll see. I made it out of sparkle felt. You can find the tutorial here - from Megan Reardon of Not Martha. She used Fabritac for gluing the petals. I went ahead and used my glue gun. I think it worked just fine.

This is so fab! It would really look nice on a belt! ^^)
I think it's gorgeous!!!
But I have been accused of the occassional gaudiness (and proud of it!)...so I might not be the best judge. LOL
I made one too! I clipped mine on a pillow, but I've worn it too. I think it's super cute. http://lisasroombyroom.blogspot.com/2010/11/pillow-talk-ii.html
I want to make these as gift for teachers but can't figure out how to cut the petals.. SOS!!
You're looks fantastic, by the way!

I've made numerous felt dahlias for teacher gifts (lots of daycare teachers too), and I've loved every single one I've made. I used hot glue as well - I'm not patient enough to wait for fabric glue! Sparkle felt is a great idea for a holiday-themed pin - well done!
