Cute and colorful felted rocks
 <  Image 1 of 5  > 

I've seen these in many craft shows and galleries and wanted to try them myself. They are super easy and fun to make. I love taking the small ones everywhere I go!

  1. Step 1

    Step 1

    Find a nice and smooth rock of any size.

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    Using many thin layers, wrap wool tightly around rock.


  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    Using very hot water, get the rock with wool completely wet.

  4. Step 4

    Step 4

    Add some dish soap and roll rock between both hands as if you were shaping clay. Make sure to agitate the wool (this creates the felt) by scrubbing harshly. I usually wait till the wool is firm and felted, and this usually takes 5-10 minutes of scrubbing.


  5. Step 5

    Step 5

    This step can be skipped. If you want some extra coloring, get a very very thin piece of another color and tightly wrap against rock. Repeat steps 3+4 allowing the wool to be unevenly spread, making patterns of its own.

  6. Step 6

    Step 6

    Rinse with very cold water (the change in heat allows the fibers to contract and helps with the felting process.) Then, let dry.
