Felting is easy. And fun.

You can get the supplies at any crafts store, or online. You can make your own if you're ambitious: by boiling old wool sweaters for instance.

You need a needle; felting needles have handy bends at the top. You need wool fibers. You need a brush or foam to put underneath as you work, and you need something felt to decorate. Colorful felt sheets are easy but you can felt on objects. I've felted a hat and a pillow.

 

 

 



You just put your felt sheet on your brush, lay some wool fiber over it, and tap tap tap to force pieces of the fiber down into the felt.

It does leave a messy back. When I made ornaments I made two, then used embroidery thread to lace them together.
