Needle Felting: Making Mini Accessories with Heather
Description
Please note you'll be able to make several accessories in the class if you want or one more detailed creation.
What’s it all about?
Needle felting is the process of turning loose wool into a solid felt using a barbed needle - it’s a very easy craft that doesn’t require extensive equipment.
Using the dry needle felting technique you'll be taught how to create basic 2D and 3D shapes, to develop into colourful felted designs for earrings or accessories - who doesn't need a fluffy mushroom keychain?!
As well as all instructions and materials, you will also be provided with tools and materials to continue needle felting at home.
This class is suitable for absolute beginners, and all equipment is supplied. Start thinking what you might like to create. Really, anything is possible.
What will we cover?
This hands-on workshop will teach:
- The basics of needle felting
- Tools and their purposes
- Creating small 2D or 3D accessories
- Shapes and ideas (food, pets, plants, characters...)
- How to attach these to jewellery finding
