Supplies

White felt

Yellow felt

Ribbon (we used a baby blue velvet)

Twine or thin cord for the garland base

Scissors or a cutting machine

Hot glue gun or fabric glue

Daisy template (or freehand flower shape)

Step 1: Cut the Daisy Shapes

Start by cutting your felt flowers.

You’ll need:

White felt daisy bases

Yellow felt centers

For each flower:

Cut a simple five-petal daisy shape from white felt.

Cut a small oval or circle from yellow felt for the center.

Tip: Slightly irregular petals actually make the garland feel more handmade and charming!

Step 2: Attach the Daisy Centers

Place the yellow felt pieces in the center of each white daisy.

Attach them using:

A small dot of hot glue, or a few hand stitches if you prefer a sewn look.

Press gently and allow the glue to set.

Step 3: Tie Mini Ribbon Bows

Cut ribbon pieces about 5–6 inches long.

Tie simple bows and trim the tails to your desired length. These bows will sit between the daisies and give the garland that soft, decorative look.

Make as many bows as you have flowers (or slightly more if you want extra accents).

Step 4: Arrange Your Garland

Lay your twine or cord out flat and begin planning your layout.

Alternate:
daisy → bow → daisy → bow

Spacing suggestion:
Leave about 3–4 inches between each piece for a balanced garland.

This step helps you visualize the finished look before attaching everything.

Step 5: Attach the Pieces

Using a small dot of hot glue, attach the felt daisies and ribbon bows directly to the twine.

Allow the glue to cool before moving the garland.

Step 6: Hang and Style

Your garland is ready to display! Hang it:

Across a mantel

On a nursery wall

Along a party table

Over a spring display shelf

As part of an Easter backdrop

The soft felt flowers and delicate bows create a light, whimsical look that instantly adds spring charm.

✨ Creative Variations

Try switching things up:

Pastel ribbon colors for a spring rainbow garland

Pink or lavender centers for colorful daisies

Add extra bows for a bow-heavy cottagecore look

Use gingham ribbon for a farmhouse spring style
