I've been getting my craft on lately. Seriously getting my craft on. And as you may know, I like to dabble in things. I try something here, I try something else there, but I'm never fully committed to a hobby. That isn't to say I quit everything I do, I just sometimes drop it, try something new and then pick up again later.
Needlefelting is my newest venture into the crafting world. And who can resist when the end result is an adorable little fluffy animal?
Little Black Sheep
My first attempt at needlefelting
It's so easy it is addictive. You basically roll pieces of wool roving into various sized balls and stab the balls with a needle until the wool begins to felt and hold its shape. You then connect the balls/shapes/etc. together by the same technique.
It is also dangerous. Felting needles are ridiculously sharp. Make sure you know where your fingers are at all times or you just might end up stabbing yourself! Trust me, that part is not fun.
I bought a needlefelting kit for $12 from Fancy Tiger on South Broadway. If you don't live in Denver, you can buy them from their Etsy shop. It's fantastic!
What should I make next?
