needle felted bird nest and acorns

January 10, 2010 in craft

my friend Suki taught me how to needle felt the other day.  it’s crazy!  random pieces of fluffy wool, dish soap, and hot water — then you STAB-STAB-STAB the little piece of fluff until all its fibers intertwine.

so i tried out my new skillz making a bird nest pincushion and some lil acorns (special props to Kate Sprout for the photo-blemish-reduction help):
