Needle Felting

Hi loves!
Today I wanna share with you a crafting(?) technique that I learned a year ago at a workshop by my friend Lu. I got to attend this year as well and I thought it'd be nice to talk a little bit about it and show you the things I've done.

But first of all, what is needle felting?
It is a technique that uses wool fibers to make beautiful creations by coming in contact with each other with the help of a needle. Hundreads of fibers are locked together causing the wool to felt.

What do you need?

Wool (there are different kids tho)

Felting needles (you can also find different kinds)

A cushion to work on

Even tho my explanation is not the best one, it gives you an idea, right? You can find more (and better) info online tho.

Now that we know a tiny little bit of this technique, let me show you the things I've made~

Last year when I first went to the workshop we learned the basics and made some christmas ornaments. I already had some felting things that I got from Lu and I always thought it was such a complicated technique. Not saying that is super easy but is not too hard once you get a hold of it. It is very time consuming tho and of course, as you practice, you can make prettier things.
Even tho I only know the basics, I'm proud of what I've done.

The very first thing I made was this Christmas ball, I chose these colors so it could match my pink tree.

Then I tried a teddy bear. Well, just the face. And to be honest, I think it's adorable! I wanted something not too Christmasy so I could have it on display all year long.

I didn't want those to be my only felting babies so, after the workshop I decided to make these bunnies. Can you tell who they are?

And well, on this last workshop I learned another way to work the felting and made a 3D frame thingy.

There are so many cute things you can do using needle felting. I'm gonna link my friend Lu's SNS for you guys to check her work, she's very talented! You can also find information about future workshops if you're interested.

My wool bunny!

Hello sweets!
Today I have something really cute to share with you, this is the latest addition to my bunny collection:

LUME Felper are needle felting miniatures, 100% handmade and they are made with lots of love!
I can't believe the details these cuties have, especially because of the size!
As far as I know they come in 3 different sizes and you can buy costumized ones. Cool thing is, none of them looks the same!
Lu Meneses is the person behind these cuties and I gotta say she's one of the sweetest women I've known. Very talented and very creative.

I'm really happy with the one I got, and I'm planning to buy more soon. A mini size TinkerBell and Michee, maybe?

Anyways, here's the facebook page for you to find more cuties and contact if you feel interested! LUME Felper
