Fabulous Felt Flowers

About Fabulous Felt Flowers

In this fun hands-on class, we will transform Merino wool roving/top into beautiful felt flowers using just our hands, imagination, and a little soap and water. This magical process is called wet felting. You may choose to use your felt flower(s) to adorn a coat or hat by placing them on a pinback/brooch, or even on a headband to wear on your next special outing. Felt flowers make great gifts, too.

Students may choose to felt along during this demonstration. I will upload an informational sheet to let you know what to have on hand to do so, or feel free to watch and then felt along at your convenience. No experience necessary.

This class is limited to 20 students.
