Spring is in the air, and what better way to celebrate than with some Easter-themed needle felting?
How to Needle Felt Easter Eggs 🥚✨
Felted eggs make beautiful, handmade decorations for Easter baskets, table displays, or gifts. Here’s a simple guide to making your own:
You’ll Need:
✔ Wool in pastel colours (we recommend the Pastel Rainbow Wool Set)
✔ A felting needle (start with a 36-gauge needle, then refine with a 40-gauge needle)
✔ A felting mat or sponge
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1️⃣ Shape the Wool: Take a handful of wool and roll it into an oval shape with your hands. Try to compress it slightly before felting.
2️⃣ Start Felting: Use your felting needle to stab all over the wool, turning it regularly to create an even egg shape. The wool will begin to compact and firm up.
3️⃣ Refine the Shape: If your egg looks a bit lumpy, roll it gently between your hands and continue felting until smooth.
4️⃣ Decorate: Add thin strips of wool for a zigzag pattern, polka dots, or even little felted flowers. Lightly stab the wool to secure the designs.
5️⃣ Final Touch: Once you’re happy with the shape and design, give it one last round of gentle felting to smooth out any fuzz.
🌟 TOP TIP: If you want to experiment with colours and create a full set of vibrant felted eggs, check out our Pastel Rainbow Wool Set – it’s an absolute dream to work with!
