Handmade wool flowers are a beautiful and creative way to craft unique, textured floral designs using wool fibers. These flowers can be made using different techniques like needle felting, wet felting, or even knitting and crocheting. Here are a few ideas on how to create handmade wool flowers:

1. Needle Felting Flowers

Needle felting is a popular technique where wool fibers are repeatedly poked with a barbed needle to bond and shape the fibers into a specific form.

Materials Needed:

• Wool roving (various colors)
• Felting needles
• Foam pad or felting mat
• Scissors (optional for trimming)

Steps:

• Shape the Petals: Start by taking small tufts of wool roving and rolling them into small, petal-like shapes.
• Needle Felting: Using a felting needle, carefully poke the wool fibers into the foam pad to start binding them together and shaping the petal. Work on shaping each petal separately, and then attach them to form a flower shape.
