Needle Felted Animals

Not that I needed another crafty hobby, but this summer I started experimenting with needle felting. These are a set of needle felted animals I made over the Christmas holiday break, and I want to share the finished results with you!

My husband bought me this set on Amazon, and I tried to make them cuter than the originals. (I think eye placement makes a big difference.) My kids named each of these little animals as I created them.

In case you don’t know, needle felting is a process of sculpting with wool fibers by stabbing the wool roving over and over with a barbed felting needle to compact and shape the wool. You can purchase a kit that includes everything you need to get started like this set of animals or this set of succulents. You can also get high-quality needle felting tools from Lia Griffith’s shop, Felt Paper Scissors.

It is not a fast process, unfortunately, so it’s not going to become my prime hobby. If I’m going to spend hours and hours on a project by choice, it will usually be crepe paper flowers. But I did enjoy making these needle felted animals and look forward to coming up with my own creations and not solely rely on a kit.

I have been working on another kit with needle felted succulents, but I’ll save that for another post.
