How To Make Wet Felted Roses 4: Experimenting With A Range Of Tools & Techniques

I tried different ways of creating a magical rose so I could make some mistakes so that you dont have to! I am amazed at how forgiving this work is. Even though the rose petals did not come out of their parcel totally felted or I should say Felted sufficiently, It really did not take very long at all to hand felt the petals by hand , just gently massaging each petal.
I confess that I struggle a little with You Tube /social media perfection where everyone 'get's it right' first time, everytime. That is just not realistic.
I would be thrilled to bits if you like this video and so appreciative if you take the time to Subscribe to my channel. I am still pretty much a novice at this and need encouragement for making content. I do everything by myself and it takes me much longer that I would care to admit.
But.... If you have any questions, please add them to the comments and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
