Easy Needle Felting Projects for Spring: Cute Felted Animals!
Spring is here—the birds are singing, the flowers are blooming, and it's the perfect time for a new needle felting project! If you're new to felting or just want a quick, satisfying craft, needle felted balls are a great place to start. They’re simple, fun, and an easy way to create adorable decorations or handmade gifts.
How to Needle Felt a Basic Ball
All you need is some carded felting wool (we used Carded NZ and Maori ranges), a felting needle, and a foam pad. Start by rolling a small amount of wool into a loose ball—think of it as shaping a tiny cloud in your hands. Then, use your felting needle to gently work the wool into place, shaping and smoothing as you go. Keep turning and refining until you have a nice, round, firm shape.
Transform Your Felted Balls into Adorable Animals
Once you've created a lovely felted ball, why stop there? With a little extra detail, you can turn them into the cutest characters! We had a blast making:
🐱 A pink needle-felted cat with tiny ears and a curious expression.
🐰 A blue felted rabbit with long, floppy ears and a fluffy tail.
🐭 A yellow needle-felted mouse with perky ears and a playful look.
To bring them to life, simply attach ears, tails, and facial details using small tufts of wool and your felting needle. A little patience and a few extra touches will make each one unique and full of personality!
