Cute and colorful felted rocks
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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
