Tools and Materials
Petal Template or Sunflower Template
Grosgrain ribbon
One or two 18-by-18-inch squares wool felt
Sewing machine and sewing supplies
Self-adhesive
Velcro fasteners
- Cut ribbon to fit loosely around your pet’s neck, with ends overlapping 1 inch.
- Print petal template or sunflower template. Trace the shape on the felt, and cut out petals. Fold them in half lengthwise, and stitch close to the fold, from the flat end to 2/3 of the way up; this will give the petals dimension. Stitch the petals to the ribbon, overlapping them by almost half. Add Velcro fasteners at the ends of the ribbon.

@ sam1951: I had the same problem with the petal template but tried the link in the body of the directions and that one worked. I was able to access the sunflower from the "Tools and Materials" section.
Can anyone access the sunflower template? I only get an error message "404 Not Found ----------nginx" when I click on the link. I have been trying for over two weeks now and am frustrated as I want to make this for Halloween. The other template works when I click on it but I don't want that one.
