Today’s felting tutorial includes both wet and needle felting.  Below you can see the finished felting project, which is my daughter’s name with an individual wet felted ball for each letter of her name. I choose Raven’s name to illustrate this project because she is very interested in learning the spelling of her name and [...]

I am preparing for a felting project I have planned later in the week and I needed five same sized wet felted balls.  Usually I weigh out my wool using my digital scale in order to achieve this; however, my digital scale broke and I didn’t have the time to run out and purchase a [...]

Today I’m sharing my adorable needle felted strawberries and you can make your own by following this tutorial.  Here they are amidst my “real strawberry plants”.  Now let’s get on to the tutorial! You will needle wool roving or batting in the following colors: red, green, brown, yellow, white, black and pink.  Obviously if you [...]

It’s all about the details when it comes to needle felting, well at least for me it is.  This past week I created an adorable felt cat.  While sharing my creature of the week, I’m going to focus on the drastic changes a few details can make. Let’s start with a clean, white wool, basic [...]

A few week back, I mentioned my ever-growing interest in making needle felted play food.  Today, I’m sharing my play food collection so far.  Here they are all happy and cuddled together in a crystal bowl.  My felted play foods deserve the best, after all! Felting these fruits and vegetables has been so much fun [...]

My family brought home a Shiba Inu puppy a few weeks ago and she is so adorable(and a little feisty).  Shiba pups are very energetic and love to chew things, like an antique cedar chest and sewing machine.   Yes, my face turned bright red when I saw her chewing items that my family had passed [...]

This felting tutorial is all about taking a flat felted rectangle of felt and cutting useful shapes out of it. I will be using the carrot top of my adorably animated carrot to demonstrate the usefulness of this technique. I needed a handful of felted leaves to sit atop my carrot and while I had [...]

Needle felting faces is my favorite part of the felting process; it really brings the felted project to life.  This tutorial focuses primarily on needle felting basic yet animated faces.  The adorable pear below will be used to demonstrate this process! Before I add a face of any kind, I basically have completed the entire [...]

It’s spring time and as a result gardening has completely taken over around here!  While researching wool a few months back, I came across the idea of using sheep wool in the garden.  I decided being I have a few pounds of wool in my closet that I would give it a shot. From what [...]

I have been so busy with my children all week, but I managed to needle felt an adorable baby chipmunk.  This felted chipmunk is sleeping with its little pink feet in the air.  Here it is sleeping amongst the beautiful and edible “weeds” in my yard! A few weeks ago, I needle felted a different [...]

Today is the official beginning of Spring!  The spring equinox happened while I was sleeping.  It is bright, sunny, and very warm outside;  I just love spring! I’ve been taking advantage of the mostly mild weather here and have been gardening with my children all week.  After disturbing the soil and returning indoors, I peek [...]

I’m so happy to share my needle felted toys of the week–  five little baby birds in a nest/egg!  These colorful felt creations were designed and built for my adorable children.  The color of each bird represents his/her favorite color.  My youngest is copycatting her sibling by choosing yellow; therefore, two yellow birds! These were [...]

All kids just adore play food; I have 5 kids and really I should know!  There is some fantastic handmade play food out there that the plastic store bought versions just can’t compare to. A few weeks back, I got the play food bug, when I needle felted my first fruit, an apple.  Ever since, [...]

Even though I have a pretty good method of needle felting similar shaped limbs, every now and then I attach the arms/legs on my felted project in such a way that they appear unsymmetrical.  This problem happened in the chipmunk that I was working on this past week. The chipmunk’s arms were a perfect looking [...]

I have been needle felting a few more spring goodies this week.  This time I will not be adding them to the shop; I will be donating them to the Child Guidance Resource Centers in Pennsylvania for their spring event.  But don’t worry I will still share my creations will everyone in picture form! Liia [...]

  Time for another felting tutorial.  Sometimes I’m afraid I will run out of ideas, but they keep popping up in my head.  Today I will take you step by step through how to make wet felted hollow eggs and/or nests! First things first: we need to gather our supplies. a pair of old pantyhose [...]

Today I’m posting my 50th blog post, all about needle felting.  To commemorate the occasion I am sharing a bright red and super happy felted apple. I have never felted fruit before, but this felt apple is so adorable.  I think I might start a whole line of play food after this!  I was so [...]

I’ve been needle felting like mad the last few days.  I’ve been cooped up inside all winter and needle felting has really helped me pass the time during the cold days and nights, but enough is enough!  I broke down this week and started dreaming sweet “spring dreams”.  Here are my “spring dreams” brought to [...]

Early on in my blog, I shared a little white needle felted bear that I made for my daughter’s birthday.    It was a replica of a stuffed bear that she had and was meant to be a stuffed toy for her new babydoll! It has now been about 6 months and my little girl [...]

Today, I have been needle felting a lion toy.  As you can see, this poor lion is lacking a face and EARS! The lion will be used to demonstrate how to make needle felted ears.  There are many ways to needle felt ears and many types of ears to create; this is just one way [...]

A little while back, I mentioned I was in the process of making a cute little needle felted puppy holding a heart.  Well he is finally complete and ready to see the world!  He took me five whole hours to make and the white on black turned out to be quite the struggle.  But thank [...]
