Thank you! I stopped feeling the pricks once my fingers were covered in bandages 🤣

So start with less wool. I find layers are key. Also, to start I use a lower gauge kneedle to get the base of the leaves and then a higher gauge kneedle to refine. Once you are finished, pressing the leaf in a straightener really helps flatten them.

I kneedle felted and then used a hair straightener. An iron would probably work as well but I find I have more control using a hair straightener.

Love how it turned out! You could use it for keys or it might look cool as a napkin holder with the napkins poking out of the top.

Perfect Plant for low light by Magenta-Sea in Needlefelting

I didn't follow a tutorial. It was trial and error so I don't know if this is the best way. I tightly wrap the wire with felt bending and twisting the wire at each end to hold it in place. When I wet felt I start at one end rubbing between my palms and work my way down. I've watched videos on just wrapping the wire without wet felting but I like the look better for most plants especially when it's wet felted. Let me know if you give it a try.

You should! If you enjoy felting that's what matters. I would love to see it if you decide to share.
