About
Needle felting is the no sewing, no mess craft of sculpting with wool. It’s fun, relaxing and amazingly addictive. Just roll a bundle of wool real tight to squeeze all the air out of it, then stab the fibers with a felting needle and create your shapes.
By following the steps in this course, you’ll learn the magical art of needle felting and avoid rookie mistakes with the right tools and materials. This course includes 12 projects to help you create your own cute animals and characters and build up your skills. Once you’ve learned the techniques, you can create your own original designs.
Join the woolly world of needle felting and start sculpting.
