How to Make Rolled Fabric Flowers – Free SVG & Pattern

Rolled fabric flowers are such a simple and beautiful way to add a personal touch to your spring crafts for home decor! Today, I’m sharing two of my own free SVG files that I’m using for my spring decor, plus links to some other great free cut flower SVGs, I found online. There are many ways to use rolled fabric flowers, they have a higher-end look and can be used on clothing, crochet, sewn crafts, and DIY hair accessories.

Don’t have a Cricut? No worries! I’ve also included a free printable pattern to cut them by hand. Either way, the flower rolling process is the same, but you will need a small pair of good-quality scissors. You can easily cut out three or four flowers by hand for a craft project.

Rolled fabric flowers come together super quickly since they’re made from just one piece of fabric, no need to fuss with layering individual petals.

You can easily change the size of your flowers by adjusting the SVG in Cricut Design Space or enlarging it when you print it out on your printer. Super simple!

These rolled fabric flowers are plain and designed to be quick, easy embellishments for all kinds of spring crafts. I used mine to decorate some pom-pom bunnies in a garland and added a few to a DIY Easter bunny cushion they’re such an adorable finishing touch!

What Type of Fabric Should I Use for Rolled Flowers?

You can use any fabric you like for rolled flowers. I went with thin polyester in soft pastels for a light and delicate look, but I made sure to add iron-on interfacing to give them more structure. Fabric flowers are also a great scrap-busting project since they use only a tiny amount of fabric. Plus, you can mix and match different prints and colors to fit whatever craft you’re working on!

Materials for Making Fabric Flowers

The list of supplies is broken down into supplies for Cricut cutters, hand cutters, and then materials for either method. Scrap fabric works well, as does Dollar Tree fabric, and iron-on interfacing.

Prepare the Fabric for Cutting

Whether using a cutting machine or cutting by hand, the fabric must first be stiffened with iron-on interfacing. The interfacing can be light and inexpensive, I used Dollar Tree iron on interfacing for mine. You can also find lots of nice spring fabrics in a small roll at Dollar Tree, it’s perfect for making rolled fabric flowers.

Protect your ironing board with parchment lay interfacing rough side up, cover with fabric, then a second piece of parchment. Press for 15 seconds in each area.

I will not cover how to cut in the Cricut machine, other than to say I used bonded fabric setting and extra pressure.

The easiest way to show you how to roll a flower is with a video tutorial.

The video has two sections, how to cut out your fabric, and how to roll it to make a beautiful blossom. Its fun and easy to turn it from the cut fabric.

And make all sorts of beautiful flowers for Spring accessorizing.

I typically add related posts at the end of a blog post. I have both the Easter bunny pom pom banner, and the easter bunny cushion with the fabric flowers made. As soon as I finish writing the posts I will add them.

Its minus -30 here today and snowing. I am certainly enjoying the cheerful pastel colors and beautiful blooms while I huddle inside crafting. Enjoy your day. Leanna
