Wet Felting Tutorial: How to Wet Felt Flowers with Fancy Trims

This wet felting tutorial is an easy way to wet felt fancy flowers using Merino Top, and some embellishment fibers like Tussah Silk, Bamboo, Sari Silk waste Viscose, or any fibers to add sheen and texture. We also add some cute beaded stamens. You can turn these into pins, magnets or embellishments for other projects & accessories. They would make great teachers gifts, and Mom or Daughter gifts for birthdays and Mother's Day.
This is a very beginner friendly felting project, and would also be great for felting with kids.

OMG! This is exactly what I needed to try my first wet felting. Absolutely gorgeous and I will have some of the specialty fibers in my first order, coming soon! Can't wait to try this!

Very nice, thank you. I have read the directions for this technique and was a bit confused about the rolling technique. This is perfect, and now I understand. This will be fun.

I've used a face puff (dismantled) in place of the mesh and it works the same. I did buy the LF mesh though...

Beautiful and inspiring! If I was to attach this to hang on a wine bottle, do you think the flower would go flat?

I might have missed it if it was mentioned in the video, but would it be possible to needle felt the stems to the dried flower rather than sewing the beads? Thanks for the tutorial!

What if you want a stem to attach to a nuno felted scarf?

@lizcapen9237 3 жыл бұрын

Ok this is a bit late to ask but I totally can’t figure out how to sew the beads. It’s easy I’m sure but I’ve tried and tried. Can’t figure it out.

I must be crazy but at 10:00pm (right after watching this) I made my first flower! Now this is addicting it’s instant gratification. Can you explain to me the difference between nuno wet felting and regular wet felting. Or do you have a video explaining the difference?

Hi Karen, so glad you are having fun :) NUNO FELT is a form of wet felting, the difference is, we use one or more layers of fabric - an open weave fabric like a silk chiffon or habotai or others to bind the fibers to it. Originally, the process was developed to create a lighter weight felt (lighter than traditional felt) for use as wearables in hotter climates. Using the fabric permitted the felt to have more drape. Over the years, we call lots of things "nuno"...even if they have fabric "inclusions" as part of the decor. When you see the word, just know there is a fabric felted to the wool somewhere in it, even if it is not visible. Often it is silk, but it could be a cotton scrim or cheesecloth, etc.

LivingFelt thank you I for that explanation. I have one more question. Which wool would I use? I’m really only familiar with the cross batt that I use to felt my gnomes.

HI Karen, the MC-1 is great for needle felting and some wet felting projects, but for these delicate flowers, we use Merino Top and design the surface layer with tussah silk, bamboo, sari silk waste, etc as shown. Here is a link to the Merino: feltingsupplies.livingfelt.com/Merino-Top_c_7.html

Nuno is lamination of fabric with fiber. Silk fabric and extra fine merino top, usually, or cotton with extra fine merino, for instance.
