Felt Valentine Necklace by Hugs are Fun

One of my 2014 goals was to try new crafts. Needle felting was high on that list of ones to try. I got a needle felting kit for Christmas two years ago and I was just so nervous to try it out. I am not the most graceful person and I get hurt a lot. I’ve been to the ER because of an Xacto knife before, so the idea of me stabbing things with needles seemed like a bad idea.

Evie was very excited to get this necklace, every time I work on anything she asks if it’s for her. It was a quick and cute little project and perfect for Valentine’s Day!

      It’s really fun. I like wet felting, I’ve made some felt covered bars of soap in the past and I made a garland with little felt balls I made. The needle felting is definitely something I intend to explore more, it’s really neat!
