Tutorial on how to make a felted flower

Making feltded flowers is a fun thing and I have been trying out some different methods lately. For this tutorial I use wet as well as needle felting. So to make this flower you will need a small amount of roving of your choice, a felting needle and foam pad, soapy water.

To start with pull out a tuft of roving and lay it down now pull out another tuft and lay that in the opposite direction.

Take your felting needle and poke the roving into a leaf shape. Do this for all four leaves.

Make a ball of some roving and roughly poke into place with the needle.

Now with the felting needle attach all the leaves to the ball and drop the whole into soapy water.

Take it out and squeeze out most of the water. Then start rolling in your hands like you are making a ball. Now and again unpeel and stretch the leaves.

Done!
