Materials
To get started with needle felting, you will need the following materials:
- Felting needles: Felting needles are specialized needles with tiny barbs on the sides. These barbs catch the fibers of the wool and tangle them together, creating a felted fabric.
- Wool: Wool is the most common material used for needle felting. It is a natural fiber that is soft, durable, and easy to felt. You can use any type of wool, but roving wool is a good choice for beginners.
- Foam pad: A foam pad provides a firm surface to work on. It helps to protect your needles and prevents the wool from tearing.
- Scissors: Scissors are used to cut the wool and shape your projects.
Techniques
There are a few basic techniques that you need to know to get started with needle felting. These techniques include:
- Stabbing: Stabbing is the most basic needle felting technique. Simply insert the needle into the wool and push it down. This will tangle the fibers and create a felted fabric.
- Poking: Poking is a more delicate technique than stabbing. It is used to create details and add texture to your projects.
- Rolling: Rolling is used to shape your projects. Simply roll the wool around the needle and push it down. This will help to create smooth, even surfaces.
Projects
Once you have mastered the basic techniques, you can start to create your own needle felting projects. There are endless possibilities when it comes to needle felting, so you can let your imagination run wild.
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
