Felting for Beginners: Simple and Fun Projects to Get You Started

Felting is a craft where you transform wool fibers into a solid fabric by matting, tangling, and pressing them together. It's a simple, hands-on process that can be done using either a needle or hot water and soap. For beginners, it's great for making small, fun projects like felted balls, small animals, or simple shapes. You can start by using a felting needle and foam pad to poke wool into a 3D shape or use the wet felting method to create flat items like coasters or simple bags. It's an easy and satisfying craft that allows for plenty of creativity, and all you need is some wool roving, a felting needle, or soap and warm water for wet felting.
