How cute are these gnomes?! This is a great kit for beginners but still enjoyable for an experienced felter who is looking for a quick and easy project. The finished gnomes get compliments wherever they go. These gnomes make great gifts; or give the kit to a favorite DIYer.
Follow the written and video instructions or deviate and make the gnomes your own by changing their beards, hats, or by adding a ball to the end of the hat.
Felting time: 1 hour per gnome depending on individual felting speed.
Finished size: Approximately 6-7.5" x 2" each
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!) Four color-coded felting needles in a handy paper tube Two types of felting wool
You will also need: Scissors and glue to secure the picture in the hoop once it is finished. A mat to use as a work surface. Choose from foam or wool. Foam is the most economical but wears out the fastest. Wool is eco-friendly, very long lasting and works particularly well for this project but is a higher up front investment.
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!)
