Guide Review - Fast, Fun, and Easy Needle Felting

Felting is an ancient way of creating nonwoven fabric, and needle felting is a technique where special needles are used to help create and embellish fabric. This book gives you a brief overview of the craft along with detailed lists of the tools (You can see some of the tools here) and materials you need. It also gives clear and easy-to-follow directions so you can easily learn the techniques shared.

Not only does this book teach you different ways to try needle felting but it also shares specific projects for each of the techniques it shares. You will have fun creating a needle felted mini-seascape, a lovely mosaic journal cover, a fabulous felted bead bracelet, and much more. It also offers several variations for most techniques so you can experiment with the craft even further.

I found this to be a very informative book that was easy to understand, and I had lots of fun creating a small pin I can wear. Get this book and you can use felt, wool, yarn, and other fibers to create felted fabric projects or embellish clothing, even make accessories, buttons, and beads!
