It's about time! Today we will be finishing our needle-felted fox that we have been working on in our last couple of posts. In the beginning of our initial needle felting series, we found that our projects worked up quite quickly. As the complexity increased, however, so did the time required. It's not a bad thing - we've enjoyed the process, and we've learned a lot along the way. While making our fox, we learned how to apply short and long fur, even a bushy tail. We got more practice making multi-colored ears and...

This is the second part of our needle-felted fox project. The first part of our sculpture was creating the armature. Although building an armature was a new experience for us, we found it important to remember that perfection is not the goal. That first layer of copper wire was soon going to be covered in undyed wool roving. So although this second part was a little time consuming, it was simple to complete. Just like the first layer, there is no need for perfection -that comes later! In this part we will simply be...

Today we are starting a new project in our handicraft series - a needle-felted fox! We have several reasons for choosing a fox. First of all, they're just so cute. They also provide the opportunity for us to try a slightly more complicated armature than our last project, the needle-felted sheep, and we're going to learn how to apply fur. We're going to break this project up into 3 videos. It's a little more in depth than our previous projects, and can certainly not be done in one sitting. I also find that when things are...

Today we are going to be completing our needle-felted sheep that we started in our last post. Having completed the armature, we are going to move on to the application of the wool, filling out the sheep's head and body. This handicraft continues to bring us joy, and I'm afraid it's going to be very hard to move on to our next handicraft, as we've enjoyed this one so much. With our enjoyment comes the desire to continue to learn and develop skill. And I hope you experience this desire as well. Handicrafts are not...

Did you try our needle felted dryers balls with a ball of wool last week? These were a game changer for us, using them in the dryer with big, heavy loads of laundry. Today we are going to show you how to make smaller needle felted dryer balls, from wool roving. We like the smaller balls for smaller loads of laundry or for delicates. These are even easier and quicker to make than our dryer balls with a ball of wool. Be sure to watch our video below for the process. What are Dryer Balls? First, what exactly are dryer balls? We...

I am loving our new handicraft of needle felting! Have you tried it? It's so rewarding and exciting to see projects come together! Today we are going to show you how to make needle felted dryer balls from a ball of wool. There are so many versions of these DIY dryer balls throughout the internet. Over the next couple of weeks, I'm going to show you a couple of the simple ones, and you can choose which one you'd like to do. Why simple? Because no matter how much time, effort, and money you put into these balls, they...
