Whether you're a seasoned crocheter or just starting out, crafting these flowers is a joyful and rewarding experience that you'll love to share with friends and family.

Step 1 - Cut a 30" length of Vanna's Palette (any color) and a 30" length of Fisherman's Wool. (For larger flowers cut longer lengths, for smaller flowers cut shorter lengths, just make sure they are the same length).

Step 2 - Twist the yarns together - they'll want to come untwisted, just keep twisting them together as you continue the next steps!

Step 3 - Start swirling the yarns at one end of the lengths, until you have a small circle. This can be a little fiddly, just try to get them in a circle with the ends on the bottom.

Step 4 - Place the swirled portion on the felting mat, and use your felting tool to start felting the yarns together - you can use the claw to hold it in place and save your fingers! Just keep poking the yarns together until they adhere to each other.

Step 5 - Keep swirling and stabbing, creating a flat disk. Be sure to twist the yarns together as you go! You need the acrylic yarn to be wrapped in the wool yarn so that it will be trapped inside the project.

Step 6 - When you come to the end (or your flower is big enough), trim off the excess yarn and tuck the ends underneath. Felt these down securely, and set the flower disk aside.
