Felting Fabulous Flowers contains all the simple tips, tricks and techniques you need to create your own impressive colourful felted flower garden. From simple daisies and cherry blossoms, through to more intricate passion flowers and exotic hibiscus, I will guide you through how to make the felt, construct the flowers, and add the finishing final touches with stamens, pollen and leaves.
Use your freshly-made felt flowers to embellish, adorn and decorate everything in sight! There are so many opportunities to use everlasting woolly flowers adorn a bag, make them into brooches and corsages, headpieces, tiaras, or just pop them in a vase. The possibilities are endless.
Born out of a love for all things floral, my enthusiasm for making felt flowers has grown from strength to strength.
It is possible to make the most amazing felted blooms with some simple woolly ingredients, a bit of elbow grease and a few hours of your time.
This book is dedicated to my lovely late father Jack Harris, who was a constant source of inspiration when it came to Flora and Fauna in the garden.
30g (1oz) white (or large square of ready-made white felt)
Small amounts of bright yellow and gold
Wet felting essentials
Needle felting essentials
Makes a few daisies
Referring to the method on , start by making a square of white felt that measures at approx. 25cm (10in) square. You can use a sheet of ready-made felt instead, but the handmade felt will give you a better look and finish, and is more accepting of the new needle felted wool tops.
Referring to the template on , cut two sets of daisy petals which will be layered one on top of the other.
Referring to the method on , create subtle veins down the length of some of the top layer petals by needle felting tiny amounts of white wool tops from the base to the tip. This will make the petals look more interesting and realistic.
Place one set of petals on top of the other, making sure they look realistic, with the petals alternating nicely.
Needle felt gold wool tops into a small circle in the centre. Bundle up a larger quantity of gold and bright yellow wool tops together about the size of a frozen pea and start to needle felt this on top to form a raised yellow dome in the centre of the flower. Keep needling until this is firm and solid.
30g (1oz) pale yellow (or piece of pale yellow shop-bought felt)
Small amounts of gold, olive and bright olive green for petal markings
Wet felting essentials
Needle felting essentials
36 and 38-gauge felting needles
Makes a few primroses
Referring to the method for wet felting a piece of flat felt on , make a piece of pale yellow felt to end up measuring about 20cm (8in) square. (Alternatively you could use shop-bought felt, but the end result wont look quite as handmade. Also, the handmade felt accepts the needle felting better and is slightly more sculptural to work with.)
Using the template on as a guide, cut out the primrose shape from the pale yellow felt. The end of each primrose petal should look slightly heart shaped.
Referring to the technique for needle felting on and to add the markings, use a 38-gauge felting needle and small amounts of wool tops. Start by creating the markings on each petal. Use gold wool tops to add markings radiating out from the centre down each petal. This should roughly look like a fine star shape in the centre of the flower.
Now add olive green wool tops into the centre, and then brighter and lighter olive wool tops to the very middle.
At this point switch to a sturdier 36-gauge needle, if you have one, to indent the centre of the flower downwards.

20g (oz) bright yellow
10g (oz) chocolate brown
Small amounts of bright yellow and gold
Wet felting essentials
Needle felting essentials
38-gauge felting needle
Fabric stiffener
Makes a couple of rudbeckia flowers
Referring to the wet felting method on , start by making a square of felt that measures approx. 25cm (10in) square. Use gold for one side of the felt and bright yellow for the other side. You can also use a sheet of ready-made felt instead, but the handmade felt will give you a more realistic look and finish and is more accepting of the new needle felted wool tops which get needled on top.
Referring to the template on to add subtle veins down the length of the petals by needle felting tiny amounts of bright yellow in fine lines from the base to the tip of the petal. This will make the petals look more interesting and realistic.
Take a piece of brown wool tops about 5cm (2in) long and start to either wet felt or needle felt into a small ball which should end up about 1cm (in) in diameter (see ).
