Colorwashed silk enhances the illusion of a natural flower.

The more layers of wool roving you incorporate, the stiffer the flower will become.

Bold and beautiful flower power!

Cover with bubble wrap, bubble side down, and roll around a foam tube (I used a mylar car sunshade because that’s what I had on hand!).

Completely cover the project with bubble wrap.

Tie the tube together tightly with sections of the panty hose or fabric strips.

Roll and squeeze the tube to felt the fibers. It's a great upper-body workout!

Roll the tube back and forth for the friction necessary to felt the wool, and work it into the silk material. After 10 to 15 minutes of constant rolling, untie and take a peek at the progress of the felting. If you still have a ways to go, use the rolling pin if your wrists and arms are tired.

Make sure you rotate the tube so you roll all the areas evenly.
