I created this needle felted stop motion animation project with my friend Erin Pasternak awhile back. She felted the ocean creatures and together we took turns moving the creatures and taking photographs frame by frame. When we were done, we used an ai program to generate an undersea background! 

Needle Felted Chick: A Beginner Felting Project

This needle felted easter chick is a simple project that involves felting a simple sphere or ball shape.

If you're interested, we have another simple easter project: our felted easter egg tutorial!

In order to prevent the needle from breaking,a felting matt or pad is used in case the needle is pokes through your felted wool project, and out the other side. If you poked through your felted project on a table, the sharp tip of the needle would break off. 

Foam blocks are the typical solution used as a felting surface, but they definitely have some major negatives. For one, foam is not sustainable in the least! It doesn't breakdown in landfills, and when you poke it repeatedly, bits of foam breakdown and start to get stuck in your needle projects. Yuck! These foam blocks are affordable, but break down requiring replacement every year or so.

In order to be a more sustainable company, we decided to switch to a more sustainable and long term solution for our felting pads. a zippered re useable bag.
