Easter Felting Anyone?

Although we don’t have a specific kit, they’re super easy. And I’ve got a tip to make it a little more cost effective. Start with some inexpensive undyed wool to make your basic egg shape and use colored fleece only for the outer layer. For the eggs pictured above I used  [Sorry, item discontinued or temporarily out of stock]  for the core and [Sorry, item discontinued or temporarily out of stock]  for the final outer color. With 6 oz of 21 colors, the Rainbow batting pack gives you lots of color possibilities for your eggs. As for the natural wool used for the core, plan on 3 oz to make approximately one dozen eggs. I used a Felting Needles, 38 gauge, 3-barb, Triangular (4-pack) for needling. Decorating/needling is great fun – solid, marbled, add a motif or a child’s initial, oh the possibilities.
