Let me share how I made these cute little flowers. Anyone that has tried needle felting will tell you what a hugely satisfying craft it is. There's something strangely therapeutic about stabbing a big ball of fluff and watching it turn into a solid piece of sculpture. It's the perfect craft for letting off steam. My first attempt at needle felting resulted in these funny looking chaps. They were excellent fun to make and really, you can't go wrong when you're putting silly faces on pumpkins... One of the easiest techniques for creating needle felted shapes is using the cookie-cutter method. Basically, you just stuff a cutter shape with loose roving, tops, or carded wool and then keep prodding and poking it with a felting needle until all the fibres felt and mesh together into a solid shape. I'd still class myself as a novice needle felter, but you get pretty passable results even as a beginner. These flowers are the perfect starter project if you want to try out needle felting for the first time, as they combine both cookie-cutter needle felting and some simple sculptural needling techniques. Needle felting is pretty inexpensive to get started, and the supplies are becoming easier to find. Materials needed Wool tops, roving, sliver or shredded pure wool yarn. I buy mine from World of Wool in the UK. Felting needles. A lot of needle felters use thicker felting needles to begin with and then gradually reduce the width of the needles so that the holes become less prominent as the piece is finished. I tend to use just a size 38 triangular needle, but I use 4 or 5 at a time to start with. I then reduce it down so that I'm doing the final sculpting with just 1 needle. Thick foam or felting brush to felt on. I use an old memory foam pillow, (hence the unattractive towelling cover). Carders or wool combs are optional, but they do help with blending colours and seperating the fibres before you begin felting. Cutter shape. I use this sugar flower cutter as it's sturdy and there's a ridge of plastic to hold onto How to needle felt cookie cutter flowers Firstly you need to prepare your fibres for felting. I have a stash of dyed merino tops as I do quite a lot of spinning, however the fibres are a little too neatly lined up for felting, so I need to tease them and mix them up a bit. I hand card the fibres, but just separating the fibres with your hands will help in the felting process. I blended 2 colours together to get a more natural look. I've used a sugar flower cutter as opposed to a cookie-cutter as it's just a bit more comfortable to hold and the extra circle around the base of the cutter keeps your fingers a little further away from the felting needles - watch out, those needles are sharp! Stuff your combed fibres into the cutter, making sure that they all pass across the centre, so that all the petals are firmly attached. With practice it's possible to get a finished flower that has lighter outer petals and a darker centre (or vice versa). Now take your felting needles and just keep prodding inside the cutter until all the fibres have reduced down and are just filling the bottom of the cutter. Here's a short animated gif showing my needle felting technique. The felting needle has little tiny barbs on the edges causing the fibres to become tangled and compacted with each insertion. The more you poke and prod, the denser your wool will become and the more it will shrink or felt. I found that turning my flower and repeating the felting process when it appeared to be quite compacted at the base of the cutter helped to create a nice dense flower. Here it shows the flower becoming more and more felted with each turning. By the end of the 4th stabbing it was time to move onto the next stage. This process combines 3 steps in 1 - adding additional colour to the petals, creating a flower centre and further felting of the petals. I use just a single needle for the remainder of the flower. Pull out a thin wisp of fibres in a contrasting colour and lay it over one of the petals. I tend to place it so that one end is positioned just past the length of the petal I want to work on. Now insert the needle repeatedly at the base of the petal and gradually work your way up the petal until there is no more contrasting fibre left to secure into the petal. Secure the tail end of the contrasting fibre by needling it into the flower centre. Try to work it into a dense circle. To speed up the process of bringing the long, loose tail together I use a combination of gently swirling it around the needle end and prodding the loose fibres into a circle shape. The flower centre will become bigger, denser and higher as each petal is worked. Work your way around each petal, adding a thin layer of colour and needling the remainder into the centre. Keep working on the centre until it becomes quite dense with very few fibres sticking out. Once the centre has come together, the flower just needs a little neatening around the edges to get rid of its slight fuzziness. I tend to do this by lifting the loose fibres with the end of my needle and almost 'folding' the stray fibres in. Needle felting is not an exact science and everyone's style is different. Some people leave their pieces quite loose, while others keep working until it is very dense and solid. I tend to keep poking and prodding until it feels like a fairly durable piece, with very few fibres sticking out, but it's still fairly soft and squashy. I added this one to a headband for my daughter and I'm thinking of stringing a rainbow of pastel flowers into a garland to decorate her bedroom.

Bring the summer indoors with this homemade floral garland, perfect for brightening up your Sunday brunch, family BBQ or just giving your living space a little life. It’s a fun project and couldn’t be easier to make! All you’ll need is Aleene’s Quick Dry Fabric Fusion, felt, a jute cord and some common crafting tools you probably already have. The best thing about these flowers? You can reuse them every spring and summer; they’re never going to wilt or go bad! What you need: - Aleene's Quick Dry Fabric Fusion - Jute cord - Felt - desired colors for flowers and leaves - Cardstock - Pencil - Scissors - Optional: Clothespins Draw a leaf and four petals descending in size onto card stock. Cut out to create patterns. Choose whichever color felt you’d like for your flowers. Use your cardstock petals as templates and cut 4 of each size in the felt. You will use all 4 of each size (layered) to create one flower. Cut as many petals as needed for the amount of flowers you plan on creating. Repeat for leaves, cutting 3 leaf shapes per flower. Make a cut (about a half inch) at the bottom center of each petal. Repeat for leaves. Place a dot of Quick Dry Fabric Fusion on one side of the cut at the bottom of the felt petal. Pull the felt on the other side of the cut over the top of the dot of glue (backside over front) and press in place. This creates dimension for each petal so they don't lay flat when layered together for the flowers. Repeat for leaves. Add a dot of glue to the bottom of a large petal and press another large petal in place over the top, rotating the petal to the left or right so it isn't directly on top of the base petal. Add a dot of glue on top of the petal you just stacked onto the base petal and press another large petal in place, rotating in the same direction. Repeat process until your flower base is formed. Continue adding glue and layering petals in a circle, moving from largest petals to smallest for the top layer. Note: You might not need to use all petals when creating your flowers. Do what works best for you! Measure out a strand of jute cord so it's long enough to hang in your desired space. Starting how ever many inches in from the end as desired, begin gluing the felt leaves to the cord with the flower on top. Tip: hold in place with clothespins for a secure hold while drying. Continue gluing as many flowers and leaves as desired, evenly spacing along the cord. Let dry completely. Now your flower garland is ready to bloom with creativity year round!

I just completed this large, round bowl and added a second layer of stiffener to the tall vessel, then had them photographed this week. The round vessel is approximately 12"(h) x 17"(diam.); the tall vessel is 24"(h) x 7"(diam.). This work is a continuation of a series entitled, "Botanical" which utilizes pre-felt cut-outs along with Merino top (100% wool). The round piece will be available for sale at the upcoming Flag Wool & Fiber Festival with some of the proceeds benefiting the event. The Festival is hosting several fiber arts workshops the weekend of June 2-3, 2018, including my 1/2-day Vessels & Votives workshop where you'll learn to make mini versions of the round vessel pictured above.

I've been busy for the last few weeks getting ready for the Designer Makers Market at Barnard Castle, County Durham. It takes place on 18th and 19th of this month, next Friday and Saturday in fact. I've been making beautiful felt flower brooches and little hand embroidered felt garden brooches. I always think I can make more things than I really have time for, lol. Along with several commissions and galleries asking for work, I'm struggling to keep up but I'm loving it. I loving seeing just what I can produce if I knuckle down, as I do have a tendency to procrastinate and float along if I don't have a goal or a target...And this year I have LOTS of targets. So if you're in the area please pop along to The Witham and say hello. I'd love to see you there and I can promise you won't be disappointed, it will be full of creative souls selling their hand crafted designs. Right, it's back to the felting table for me. I have something special on that table that needs finishing off. Till next time love Fi x
