Craft 101: Wool Felting
I remember watching Jenn Docherty on Martha last year (check out her cute creations in the picture below) and I immediately wanted to start felting. I know it seems a bit off-season but it's a great time to start working on ornaments for the holidays (you know how it creeps up!) or just simply make cute little critters just to have around or to give away as gifts!
I made this video for a friend as part of her Christmas present, but I thought it would be useful for anyone else interested in learning the basics of wool felting.

The little bird in the middle rules. I've had "learn how to felt" on my list forever!
Squee! Those little animals! Adorable! I've only felted knit bags. I always feel like I'm not quite crafty enough for tiny beautiful adorable things.
So cute!
Oh my! I adore these little guys! You are a good friend to make such a nice tutorial for a gift! Lovely! What a great post!

I remember that episode too...it makes me want to have children right away so I can buy them handmade felted toys! Exclusively!
Rosalie, Miss Grace, Sew Bettie, Melissa and Rebekka...
Jennifer's bears and birds are the best. I love all the little details.
Miss Grace, if you can felt knit bags I'm sure you'll be able to create a couple of cute critters!!!
Sew Bettie, hello!
Melissa, Zandra is so funny when it comes to learning new crafts. She's extremely visual and gets too overwhelmed with books/instructions so I knew it would be a perfect companion :)
Rebekka, I hear you! Cute little felted animals would look great in a nursery (and bell jars!)
Oh, I do love Jenn's work! And you have a nice list of needle felting books and I love the list of felt artists. I'll have to spend some time looking through the list!
