I find needle felting an enjoyable craft and these brooches are a fun way to make a completed project in only an hour. Needle felting requires very few tools and materials. For tools, all you need are a few special needles in various sizes, and for materials, carded wool in an array of colors and a foam pad will get you started. The needles are barbed and poking them into the wool over and over again causes the wool to felt. As you poke the needle up and down the wool becomes more and more felted. Different needle sizes are used during the process as you will need thinner needles as the wool becomes thicker and more dense. The rest is limited only by your imagination!
