What Is Needle Felting?

Hi guys! This is my first instructable, & I am so excited! I've always loved crafting, and when I was in camp last year, I learned how to make little things out of wool, really quick and really cute! So now I'm gonna show you how to do it!

Things you'll need:

- a felting needle

- a small foam pad (any kind, but better as a felting foam pad)

- assorted needle felting wool packets
(In this case, we're making nothing in

Basically, needle felting is the simple motion of stabbing wool with a needle repeatedly. What this does is the needle has special bristles that tangle the fibers of the wool. In other words, the needle gets the wool tangled together so it gets hard. You can also attach the wool the same way. Be careful not to poke your fingers!up, down, up, down, don't stop till it's hard!

Adding things together is simply a matter of placing one thing on top of the other and poking them. And detail is done the same way, but do not use a lot of wool on detail, because it gets buried inside the rest.

Now I hope you know how to needle felt, if not leave a comment & I'll get back to that! :)
