Capture the vibrance of spring and summer flowers and make a lush, felted floral crown. Melissa of Hex House Crowns is a fiber artist and handwork teacher with a love of all things handmade. Soft and fluffy natural wool is one of her favorite materials, and she shows you how to create beautiful flowers with wet felting, then how to add details with needle felting.

Wool Felting: Make a Floral Crown Reviews

I really enjoyed learning more about wool felting and the process of how to shape the felt into a flower. I would really enjoy learning about other creative things to do with felt... perhaps designing holiday cards using felt.
Or learning how to wool felt flowers or other designs on clothing.
Thank you for this experience!
