Try This – Needle Felting Kit
For July, my “Try This ” posts will feature kits. I don’t buy a lot of kits, but every once in a while I see something I can’t resist. I’m starting with a little needle felting kit from Feltworks. The lure of this kit was the 97¢ price tag.
The great thing about kits…they usually include everything you need, which makes them a great way to try something new without spending a ton of money on supplies that you may or may not use.
This kit includes a white piece of felt printed with a flower, white and black roving, a foam block and two felting needles.
Begin by placing the white felt on top of the foam block. Then, place a piece of the wool roving in an area and push the felting needle straight down through the roving and into the foam block.
Â
Continue poking the needle in and out of the roving until it is attached.
I filled in all the black spaces first. I didn’t finish this project. I’ll keep working on it and show you the final product next Monday.
Because I own a large needle felting mat, I used that. It is much nicer to use than the little foam block.
Last week, I finished up a month of making flowers. One of the flowers I demonstrated was the folded petal flower. Lynne, of Dip-Dip and The Bridge, made one of these flowers as a pin for one of her outfits. Didn’t it turn out beautiful? Thank you, Lynne, for sending me this picture to share!

I love your felting kit, I would like to try needle felting. One of my magazines has instructions for some adorable felted dogs.
Thankyou for showing my flower, I enjoyed making it with the help of your super tutorial.
