How to Make a Beautiful Felted Flower

You'll Need:

Gather the following materials for your felting project:

• Spun wool for felting, combed ribbon of merino in pink and green colors
• Felting needles
• PU foam
• Hot water
• Soap
• Brush
• Comb

Instructions

Follow these steps to create your exquisite felted flower:

1. Comb a little cloud of pink wool, put it on a brush, and beat with the needles to form 7 identical petals.
2. Lay the petals in a row, overlapping each other, then tilt the bottom slightly.

This area is circled in the picture.

3. Twist into a roll and secure the base of the rose with a needle, tangling the wool.
4. Create a receptacle (the lower part of the bud) by combing the green wool and placing it on the brush.
5. Make 5 sepals similarly and attach them with a needle to the base of the rose.
6. Craft a leaf and rest it on the flower.
7. Wet the flower with hot (not boiling) water and gently soap it.
8. Trim the edges of the leaf to give it a polished look with scissors.
9. Continue the felting process, paying close attention to each part of the rose to emphasize the desired shape.
10. Rinse the rose in warm water, then in cold water. Wring it out and let it dry.
