    Learn how to make a wild and wooly sunflower with wet felting and needle felting in this video tutorial live with Marie Spaulding. This flower is so easy to make, even a beginner at wet felting and needle felting can do it! This process using both wet felt and needle felt techniques will also work for a variety of flowers. The petals look so lively and real, and so much prettier than flowers made from craft store felt. Learn how to make your own beautiful felt fabric, and how to use it to craft your own diy sunflower or other flowers. Wear it as a brooch, add it to a head band, napkin ring, make it a magnet....or even wear it on your hat :)

    My favorite take away is that I can watch and re-watch as I make the sunflower parts. So far...I'm up to the petals drying out...and now to the disk. I love being able to watch the whole video...and then watch again as I make it. Kayla...I am really going to miss you and your jokes!! Always made me giggle. Good luck to you!!

  • @susanwilson1483
    @susanwilson1483 Před 11 měsíci

    I needed to make many sunflowers for a project and found that cutting an entire flower out of the prefelt in 3 sizes and then felting the petals, then stacking each of the 3 sizes and needle felting to the center disc saved a great amount of time. Such a beautiful sunflower and thank you for the tutorial.

    Love these flowers and the colors are fabulous. Take always are how to attach neps in a dry felt project. Also the inspiration to do other flowers with other colors available in merino. Can’t wait to give these a try. I bet if you add drop of essential oil to the finished flower, you can make it have fragrance! Great small wet felting fabric project. Good luck to Kayla, Colorado is a great place. Glad to hear you can stay involved the LF gang. I know they will miss having you there in person. Never met Kayla, but I can tell how important LF is to her.

You are so loved at #living felt and with all of us you have helped to guide and educate over the years in our felting journeys! I will miss seeing you on Wooly Wednesdays, but how wonderful that Marie has made it possible for you to continue to be a part of the #livingfelt family! Hugs and warm wishes, prayers 🙏 for a safe journey, and hugs to your sweet pup, too! We will miss you until we see you again!

  • @sarahjacques4606
