red rose

Making handmade wool rose flowers is a beautiful and creative craft! Here's a simple guide:

Materials Needed:

• Wool Yarn: Choose your preferred color(s) for the roses and green for leaves.
• Needle: Either a tapestry needle (for sewing) or a felting needle (if you want to felt wool).
• Scissors: To cut yarn.
• Glue Gun (Optional): For securing parts quickly.
• Wire Stems: For creating the stem (optional, for lifelike roses).
• Green Floral Tape: To wrap stems and attach leaves.

Method 1: Crocheted Wool Roses

• Crochet a Base Chain:

  • Chain about 50-60 stitches, depending on how big you want your rose.

• Form Petals:

  • Work multiple rows of stitches back along the chain to create petals.
  • For the first row, use single crochets.
  • For the second row, alternate between half-double crochet (HDC) and double crochet (DC) to give petals dimension.
