welcome!
My 2025 Makealong has now come to a close, but it's not too late to catch up! Members of my Happy Flower Makers club can enjoy access to all the projects from this and past series. Find out more about becoming a member here.
what is the makealong?
Makealong 2025 is a five-part journey into the art of felt flower making. You can follow along at your own pace, revisiting the tutorials whenever you like. At the end of the series, you'll combine all the individual flowers into a stunning floral display. The Makealong is designed to be a relaxing and enjoyable experience, perfect for beginners and experienced crafters alike.
The 2025 series has now finished, but you can still catch up on the projects by becoming a member of my Happy Flower Makers club, where you'll find all the tutorials from this and past series. Members also get access to exclusive PDF tutorials for each make, plus SVG files that can be used with a Cricut Maker.
when is the next makealong?
The Makealong in its current format will be taking a break for the rest of 2025, but I still have more plans up my sleeve for this year! Stay tuned for details of another very special project coming later this year. To ensure you get all the info as soon as it is released, join my mailing list below.
makealong 2025: recap
the colour palettes
Explore the moodboards and choose your favourite palette.
BEACH
Sun-kissed coral sands meet rose-gold sunsets. This is a rich and vibrant colour-popping palette, bursting with the energy of a tropical paradise.
MOUNTAIN
Dusky purple peaks meet the warm earth's orange glow. This is a cool and serene palette, evoking the quiet magic of time spent creating.
MEADOW
Dusky pink mingles with sunshine yellow to create a summer-inspired palette evoking the delicate shades of a whispering wild meadow.
