This cardinal pair is an enjoyable way to ease into flat needle felting. Simply fill in the printed fabric picture with wool, similar to working with an embroidery or cross-stitch pattern. This is the felting equivalent of paint-by-number. Display it in a special place, or gift it to your plant-loving friend or family member. Or give the kit to a favorite DIYer.
Felting time: 5 hours 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!) Two color-coded felting needles in a handy paper tube Three types of felting wool Linen fabric pattern (printed in color) High quality 7 in. wooden hoop Muslin fabric square for backing
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!)
