Step 8
Use tufts of roving, embroidery, bits of fabric and felt to details and texture.

Top Tips:
- Don’t be afraid to experiment with your flowers or leaves. Any combination would look amazing.
- If you find you have been felting a while and nothing is happening keep an eye on how far you are pushing the needle.
- Try and keep your needle straight as you felt. If it starts to bend you are going in at an angle. This leads to broken needles which can be difficult to remove
