They say flowers can brighten up any room, but you don’t have to rely on buying fresh ones to keep up good appearances.

These felt flowers were made by Cassie of Bella Dia and show some of the amazing lenghs anyone can go to to create their own stylish handmade bouquet. Forget those fake flowers you see at the store, it’s all about creating your own accent and touch of color. To make one yourself, check out the close up detail shots she has on each flower. Then grab some felt, cut out shapes, and put them together on some green pipe cleaners or even green ribbon wrapped wire. Have fun with it!
