Finally, lets make some handles for the bag we’ve been working on in the last two posts, and apply the flowers to finish the bag. You’ll need: felted bag felted roses and leaves fiber to match your bag felting needle and mat We’ll begin by adding some felt handles. If you prefer, you could sew [...]  Hopefully the felted bag we made in part one is all dry now! Lets move on to part 2, and learn how to make needle felted roses, rosebuds, and leaves. We’ve already taken a quick look at making needle-felted flowers, and we’ll be using the same techniques today to sculpt roses and buds. You’ll need: [...] There’s a change coming! Rather than three small projects a week, we’re going to present one larger three-part project each week. This will give us chance to go into techniques in more depth, and present a variety of techniques in each project. On with this week’s project – a felt flower bag, similar to the [...] A little while ago, we looked at how to needle-felt 3D and flat shapes. Today, I’d like to show you how to join 3D shapes together in needle felting, and how to make this little matryoshka doll.

When they are together, they share a happy hug. You’ll need: Felting wool fibre in red, a small amount of pink, and a very little bit of dark brown or black foam mat felting [...] On Wednesday, I demonstrated how to make a needle felted flower petal. Today, lets put them together to make a lily. You should have six petals – it doesn’t matter if they are different sizes, in fact slight differences make the finished flower look more natural. You’ll also need a little bit of fibre to [...] More felting this week, as we look at how to make a felted lily like the ones on this bag. I recently made a hair accessory for a friend with 2 of these in blue – you could also attach one to a pin/brooch back for a dramatic corsage, or attach to wire stems for [...] Ouch, I need a better camera! Apologies for the dreadful photo quality. Hopefully I can pick up a decent second-hand one in Osu soon Anyhow, on with the post. Today I’ll be showing you how to needle felt appliqued designs onto clothing or other fabrics. This works best on wool fabrics, and is more [...] The Japanese word shibori is an umbrella term for several kinds of resist dyeing such as tie-dye. Shibori felting uses these fabric manipulation techniques to produce interestingly-textured felt fabrics. Here we’ll be recycling an old wool sweater to make a dramatic purse and scarf set.
