- Cut a strip of green felt 2cm x 12cm and roll lengthways to make a stem. Hold the roll in place by stitching with a running stitch along the length.
- Cut a piece of yellow felt 2.5cm x 10cm. Colour one edge of it with an orange fabric pen and snip 1.5cm into it all along one side to make a fringe. Roll this piece around the top of the stem and sew in place to make stamens. (pic a)
- Cut a piece of white felt 4cm x 16cm and cut eight petal shapes along one side. Colour in stripes and dots with fabric pens to look like the patterns on the inside of lily petals. (pic b)
- Sew a small running stitch along the straight edge and gather up the bottom of the petals. Sew this piece tightly around the outside of the stamens. (pic c)
- Cut a flower shape from a 12cm diameter circle of felt and cut a small hole in the centre. Push the bottom of the stem into the hole and wrap the flower around the gathering before holding in place with a tight running stitch. (pic d)
- Knot a length of ribbon in half around the fixed bar of a safety pin. Tie the ends of the ribbon around the stem, close to the flower, and finish with a bow.
