We went on our first camping trip since summer last week, to my favorite spot at the beach. We had perfect weather, mid 70's everyday. I brought along my needle felting supplies and got to work making felted balls. I made these for my nieces' sweet sixteen. I love needle felting and can go pretty fast now. I purchased all the supplies for my next craft nite months ago, and everyone wants to learn how to make these. So, come January, we will be making these earrings.
Here's a photo tutorial of how I made my little baby chick. I hand crafted this a few weeks back on spring break. On our last day, I broke my needle and haven't been able to needle felt since. So yesterday, I needed to escape my house, I went to not one or two yarn stores, but four to locate some felting needles. I drove all over the place. The first store had them, but the ladies were not helpful and the kind they had were so expensive, that I left emptyhanded. One store told me needle felting is not very popular.... Really? Come on people, open your perspective a bit. In hind sight, I could be felting right now if I bought one from the the first store. Oh well. Today, I will look online for some new needles. Wish me luck.
