1
Cut a circle of any size out of your wool fabric with the fabric scissors. The larger the circle is, the larger your wool flower will be. It is not necessary to make the circle shape precise, because the uneven edges will make the flowers look more natural.

2
Select any spot on the outside of the circle to begin cutting the flower.

Begin cutting into the circle of wool at a 45-degree angle, following the edge of the circle to create a spiral of fabric. Make the spiral layers thinner for a more tightly wound wool flower, and thicker for a looser flower.

4
Begin rolling the wool fabric along the spiral, starting on the outside of the circle. Add a dab of hot glue to the last edge of the wool fabric and press it into the outside of the spiraled flower. Let it dry for two hours.
