PROJECT ONE | POLAR BEAR Learn to make a simple needle felted polar bear, how to shape the core and add the limbs. Then build up the form of the animal by adding layers of wool fibre. PROJECT TWO | BUNNY Perfect the art of using armature wire to make moveable arms and legs for your bunny. We show you how to wrap the wire and then add shape and dimension with small patches of wool. You will also discover how to build up life-like facial features in a series of felted layers and details.

Treat your mum, sister, brother or best friend to hours and hours of blissful making.
What's included in the price?
Inside the large box, you will find a beautiful selection of 18 different natural wool fibres. There are five pairs of eye pins in two different sizes, armature wires, four different needle felting needles and our specially designed felting mat; it is deeper than the average mat to ensure you can flat felt without breaking the needle; it's white so that you can see any residue fibres and remove them before starting your next project; and it’s small and neat enough to take anywhere. There are full, step-by-step photographic instructions to walk you through every stage of each project and a helpful needle felting basics guide for total beginners.
What you will need
You will need: A sharp pair of scissors, a nice cup of tea, a comfy chair and maybe even a biscuit. This is not a toy. Anyone under the age of 14 should be supervised by an adult.
