Print and cut out the Anemone Flower.  Use a marker to trace 6 petals onto a sheet of felt.  Use a mix of small and large petals to create one flower or use all large petals for a larger flower and all small petals for a smaller flower.  I recommend using a marker that is close to the color of your felt.  I used a black marker so you could see it better in the photo.
