DIY Felted Clothing Embellishment

We LOVE this DIY needle felting project!image

Every now and then, I have to face the harsh reality that I am a craft supply hoarder. If it wasn’t for my bestie Viv talking me out of things that I thought about “trying” over the years (most recently quilting), I would be the proud owner of more storage space than what Tori Spelling needs to store her 90210 memorabilia. No thanks.

Despite Viv’s help in getting me to dial it back over the years, I’ve still ended up with a crap ton of stuff that I “buy and try” and then quickly forget about for something new. Normally I would consider it a bad thing that “Hoarders, Buried Alive” could film an entire season based on my craft woes, but not today! Because today, my friends, I found my needle felting supplies!

And now I’m here to convince you that you NEED needle felting supplies, too.  My tutorial uses a lightweight sweater appropriate for summer, and Viv embellished a stretch jersey hoodie.  However, you can do this on any knit/jersey textile, so it’s a great project any time of year. Read on to see the details.
