****Note: Due to supply chain issues, we have substituted the color Mediterranean for the dark blue in this kit because Aquarium is not available right now.****
If you're wanting to try out a new craft and especially if you're wanting to learn sculptural needle felting, this is a fun and easy project to start with. The finished 12 ft. garland looks great on a Christmas tree, in a child's bedroom or playroom (kids are drawn to the colorful wool!), or anywhere else you want to add a bit of fun and whimsy. Once you've practiced making hearts, then you'll be ready to branch out into other sculptural projects like animals or whatever else you can dream up.
Perfect for gifting to your fiber-loving friend or family member, or treat yourself! Needle felting is a fun and stress-relieving (even meditative) art form. It’s a lovely group activity to do with a few of your favorite people but it’s also an ideal solo craft for times when you’re hunkered down at home.
Time to make: about 3 hrs. depending on individual felting speed.
Kit is beautifully packaged and includes:
Beginner's Guide to Needle Felting (a bit of general information)
Instruction Sheet with pictures of every step
Link to video instructions (highly recommended!)
1 mm hemp twine
Two color-coded felting needles in a handy paper tube
Felting wool in twelve colors
Size 18 tapestry needle
Not included:
A mat to use as a work surface. Choose from foam, burlap, or wool. Once you have a mat, it can be used for many projects (note that foam is the most economical but wears out the fastest).
*****This kit is intended for adults and kids over 10 yrs. who possess good manual dexterity, hand-eye coordination, and ability to work with focus and care. (Caution - felting needles are sharp!)*****
