Needle Felting: A Christmas Decoration!
15 December 2021 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Join our Art for Wellbeing workshops in December to get your winter creative juices flowing.
Needle Felting!
Needle felting involves repeatedly poking a needle into a piece of wool to stiffen and shape it into the desired form. You can use it to make small animal figures, fruits and vegetable shapes, Christmas decorations and more.
Felting is also great for stress relief as the repeated motions of the needle can be very therapeutic. The best thing about needle felting is that you don’t need much to get started!
Materials needed
Mixed Colour Wool Roving (available at Hobbycraft, The Works and most local craft shops)
A Felting Needle (darning needle/pet brush as alternatives?)
A Sewing Needle to attach the hanging loop
A piece of thread/cotton to hang your creation up
A sponge to rest on
You can buy starter kits at the above mentioned shops which will include all the above for around £20. Remember that any kit is loaded with materials that will keep you going all year and more.
Felted gifts also make excellent presents therefore saving you money in the long run!
This session can be followed along if you have the materials above, but if not feel free to drop in for a demonstration to give you a taste for starting felting.
