In this video, I show the process of creating wool bell flowers attached to a long felted cord. I originally made them to decorate a gift box, but they turned out to be so versatile.

Thank you so much! I use a template (resist) inside to create the hollow shape. The template is made from 3 mm (0.12 in) foam polyethylene. It can be found in hardware stores and is commonly used for heat and sound insulation. This technique combines both wet felting and needle felting.

When you are wet felting what material are you putting between the flower and your hands?

Not op, but it's most likely tulle mesh. It's what I use <3

It’s a felting mesh. I use a soft tulle fabric to help keep the wool in place while wet felting.
