For holiday decorating and gift-making, fast and easy always win. Adorable doesn’t hurt, either.
Needle felting hits all three targets.
“It’s got one of the least bumpy learning curves of anything I’ve ever seen,” said Wynne Reynolds, a mixed-media artist who teaches needle felting at Fancy Tiger Crafts in Denver, Colorado.
“It can pretty quickly resemble something,” said Laurie Sharp, of Suquamish, Washington, who has written three needle-felting project books. “A blob with wings becomes an owl. A pink blob and four smaller blobs become a pig.”
The craft is forgiving. Make a mistake? Pull the colours apart and start over.
