Tutorial Needle felting and old zippers

my felting kit
 your kit has 3 needles, a long zipper already trimmed, foam felting pad, 2pages of patterns, 2 piece of felt one grey to make it easy to see your lines and the black one when you finish your project for a backing and a magnet. 
You will need scissors, heavy thread, fabric glue and fiber for felting.

cut out the pattern you want

you can draw on details if you want to help you with zipper location

sew the zipper around the edge and the details (you can also glue them in place however it is harder to felt ) this will take awhile so have patience.




when sewing is complete choose wool colors. A little bit goes a long way.

start felting. Your kit comes with 3 needles fine, med, and course. Take small bits of fiber at a time 

I was going for the sheep texture so i have tufts of wool. If you are doing any of the other patterns you will want to use smaller bits and layer for a smoother finish.


glued a rhinestone for the eye

this one has hand embroidery added after felting
