Needle Felting for Beginners

This evening I tutored a needle felting workshop with a group of ladies at my local sewing group.
After showing everyone examples of my needle felt work, the ladies were soon inspired to create their own lovely pieces.

All being new to the craft of needle felting, the ladies first gained confidence with techniques used to make simple 2d shapes. We used layers of soft Merino wool and attached them onto flat felt using the special barbed needles.

We then moved onto creating 3d forms using handy templates that can be found in most kitchens - yes pastry cutters. Hearts and teddy bears were the favourite choices! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed learning a new craft and are eager to have another session soon.

Felt-tastic Fun with Fuzzy Florals

After seeing Kirstie Allsop make a needle felt robin during her Christmas craft programmes, I felt (!) that I needed to give the popular craft of needle felting a go and purchased a basic felting kit with 20 colours, which was plenty to get me started.

Starting with basic flower petal and leaf shapes cut from felt sheets, I used the wool to build up layers. After rolling a fluffy centre out of the white wool, I then attached the leaves behind the petals to give the flower it's three dimensions. 

These Fuzzy Florals look especially fabulous mounted into a box frame and are ideal as a gift. 

The frame provides space for the flower to almost 'jump out' at the viewer.
