Needle felting?

pagan queen · 12-02-2014, 06:43 PM

Does anyone do it? I have just started and it's really fun and interesting. This is what i've done so far.

Wow - that's fantastic! You're great at getting the detail on the face.
I have a couple of needle felted faeries hanging up. I've never tried it myself but I've seen a friend do it once.

Thanks Emma. It's good fun and not too difficult. Blooming hurts when you jab your finger though.

I'm not a bit artistic. Lol x

Loves this, it looks very clever to me, but I'm one good with a needle and thread.

You don't use a thread Suze. It's sheeps wool and a special needle that you poke in and out of it until it mats together. Have a look, it's so easy and you get amazing results.

OMG that it brilliant , I could do that. It would be a good way of getting rid of any frustrations ( stress relieving)

I'm tempted to give it a go, where do you get the wool from ?

I bought mine as a kit from here. http://www.feltheadtotoe.co.uk/shop/.../needle-holder
I would advise you to get a needle holder and some extra needles as they break. And watch your fingers, don't do it while watching TV. My fingers are like a sieve with all the holes. You do get used to it and learn to keep your fingers clear of the needle.
