Wool Felting- Penguin and Hamster and Seals

Sage Also Made Tables and Food with the Extra Wool Felt

 We tried our hand at wool felting. Hamanaka company from Japan makes these cute kits. I ordered a to make the penguin and hamster from Amazon. The kit didn't come with wool felting needles so we ordered a kit separately. It took so long to get the needles via mail that we got impatient and went to a local wool store. It was fun looking at the books and supplies there. The needles were really inexpensive so we bought a bunch.
 It didn't take long to make our little critters. We watched a video to make sure we were doing it right since all the instructions are in Japanese. Basically all you do is shape the wool felt as you stab it lots of times with the needle. They eyes are glued in last. We used a hot glue gun. It was easy and fun. We are waiting now for the next kit to come. We are making baby seals next. Amazon sells a great assortment of wool felt colors and plastic eyes of various sizes. Before you know it we will be making our own original creations.
