ATTEMPT AT NEEDLE FELTING. A LITTLE ROBIN.


I have never done needle felting before but I thought I would have a go.

This is my attempt.






                                You have a brush and a holder with needles in.






                          First I cut out of normal felt the shape of the robin.
                          And placed on  the brush. Then I put the colours I wanted to add
                          on top. Then pushing down with the needle through the felt to the brush
                          it attaches the colours to the base felt. EASY!








                        I made two matching sides. And then added a bead for the eyes.



                            Then I sewed both sides togeather.
                            And added stuffing.  



 
I made the wings and beak and sewed them in place.
                                       Next I made the legs out of a orange pipe cleaner.           



                                                My first needle felt Robin.



                                                       Has any of you done needle felting?.
                                                       Would love to hear.

    I have needle felted and it is not as easy as it looks. I think you did an amazing job with your sweet Robin.

      Good luck with the owl. looking forward to seeing it. Never visited Hobbycraft not one near me.I purchased all the bits of Ebay. It is expensive but the wool goes a long way.

    I had no idea that's all there was to felting! Your robin turned out GREAT. I'd never know it was your first felting project. Love him. You should hang him in a window with some fishing line.

    There is probably more to it Pammy Sue but that is as far as I know so far. Yes would look great hanging in the window.
