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.
