Book Synopsis

With 10 beautiful step-by-step projects, master the art of needle felting with this practical guide.

Needle felting is an increasingly popular craft because it can be used to create almost anything! This book has everything you need to know to make your very own three-dimensional needle felted sculptures. After learning about the different types of wools, materials and tools needed, discover how to 'jab' fibres into basic shapes and build your own armatures from wire. Whilst they make wonderful display pieces, some projects can become wearable as brooches - all of which is explored in the book.

Featuring 10 step-by-step projects to get you started, ranging from toadstools and teacups to puffins and mice, learn how to create your very own sculptures. Wool Sculpting is enriching and aspirational as well as being eminently practical. Get your needle out and start sculpting your own miniature works of art!
