Needle Felted Animals





Materials: Needles, Wool, Foam (as a work surface)


Time: Varies depending on size of project (2+ hours)


Difficulty: Medium






Instructions


Step One: Gather/Buy Materials

For needle felting, you'll need special wool and needles. You can buy these from craft stores and they are pretty inexpensive. The wool is really soft too! You should have a project in mind before buying so you get the right colors. 
Step Two: Poke Away!

Pull a clump of wool fibres from the ball and begin poking the clump with you needle. Be very careful to always pay attention to what you're doing, as the needles are very sharp. If you lay the project in your lap, use a piece of foam so you don't poke yourself!


Step Three: Add Details.

To add details, such as hands, feet, or ears, simply pull a new clump of wool and poke with the needle to attach it. It's that easy! 

Here's a cute little needle felted bunny. :)
