How to Make Flower Pencil Toppers

Step 1 – Download and Print Template

Begin by downloading and printing the template patterns on your home printer.

Flower-Pencil-Topper-Template Download

Three sets of patterns are included in the downloadable template in a variety of sizes. Choose which size you would like, or all three, and cut them out with scissors. (Do not use your fabric fabric scissors for cutting paper.)

Step 2 – Cut Felt

Next, trace the paper patterns onto felt with a pencil or fabric pen. Consider which colors you would like your flower, leaves, and pencil topper to be when selecting felt.

Step 3 – Assemble Flower

Now stack the small flower piece on top of the larger flower piece. Then place the circle in the center. It’s not quite time to sew yet.

While holding the three stacked felt pieces between your thumb and index finger, carefully flip them over. Place the three leaf pieces in a row on the top.

Step 3 – Stitch Felt Pieces in Place

Then stitch all the felt pieces in place, including the small circle in the center. You will be able to see the thread, so choose a coordinating (or contrasting) color.

This set of thread in all the colors of the rainbow is awesome for hand sewing projects.

Next sew a double cross stitch through all 6 felt pieces including the the circle, flowers shapes and leaves.

Step 4 – Prepare Felt Base

Set the flower aside. Then prepare a needle with coordinating thread for the pen topper base. In this example, the base is green and we are using green thread.

Step 5 – Stitch Felt Base

Now fold the pencil topper base in half lengthwise. Begin stitching from the the bottom corner where two of the open sides come together.

A running stitch or flat blanket stitch work well and look lovely. Continue stitching around the opening until it is closed.

Step 6 – Assemble Pencil Topper

Then it is time to assemble the pencil topper.

Use a hot glue gun to attach the felt flower to the pencil topper base. Children may need assistance or supervision with this step.

Have fun experimenting with colors and the shape of your flowers to create a whole bouquet.

How to Use Your Flower Pencil Topper

Place the pencil topper over the eraser of your pencil for added cheer while taking notes. They also look great displayed in a cup or vase. If you store your pencil in a pencil case, then move the topper to the pencil’s point for safe storage.
