Welcome to the World of Needle Felting!

From soft, fluffy wool come these adorable animals. Let’s take a peek at how they’re made.

1 The tools: a needle and mat.

2 Colorful wool roving. There are so many colors, it’s exciting just looking at them.

3 Break off pieces of the wool roving bit by bit. This is easily done by hand.

4 Place the wool roving on the mat and form a shape by punching it gently and carefully with the needle.

5 Make sure you don’t get too worked up and stab your finger!

6 Keep adding pieces of roving to increase the size. This forms one section.

7 Repeat by punching roving to create the smaller parts. This is an ear.

8 Attach ears by punching into the base with the needle.

9 After all that work with the needle, take a little break. Browse inspiring photography and craft books, especially ones that highlight animals’ features and expressions.

10 Wrap colorful roving around the main section as decoration.

11 Punch in the delicate pattern…

12 … and it’s finished.
