What’s different about this felting tutorial?
We don’t talk about the history of felt, the science and all the types of wool available etc, we just go straight to the fun stuff and show you our creative process, the materials we use, and lots of ideas to inspire you.

Do I need a sewing machine?
A sewing machine is not essential to creating felted wall art – you can achieve beautiful results using only hand embroidery - or no embroidery at all if you prefer to just let the felt speak for itself.
