3D Felted Hearts

Sorry for the picture-less post last week, I did finally get the issue sorted, and if you wish to re-read, with the images you can look here

I did a bit more needle-felting this week. I had my first try of doing something 3D.
I had a heart shaped cookie cutter, so I used this as my mould.


I used a piece of ready made felt as a base to work on.


I chose my colours from my range of wool roving.


I pulled off small tufts of wool, and layered them in the mould.


I then used the specialist needle to keep stabbing at the wool,


until the fibres start to bind together.


Then the mould can be slipper off .


And the piece can be decorated.

    Those little hearts are a great way to show people how easy it is to start needle felting.

    Glad you got the photos on last week's post - the Cornish scene is lovely. I like the little hearts too, felting is on my to do list this year (it was on last year's list too so may never happen!)

    Soo cute. Sounds like a satisfying craft if you have some aggression to get rid of!

    Your hearts are so cute. I really like the blue and green colours. I haven't tried felting and was interested to see how it turned out, thanks. Have a lovely week.
