Title: Needle felting
Post by: Lesley Silvester on November 13, 2014, 11:31:27 pm
I'm getting more and more into needle felting. I've been making baubles for my daughter to sell on her craft stalls. I started with just using fleece but now buy polystyrene balls and felt onto that. I'm decorating with diamante pins and I think they look pretty good. I'll have to post them under Crafts for Sale.

That's lovely, Mariask.


Sally, I don't have much here as my daughter has taken it all to put on her craft stall in Liverpool. If you're interested,go onto her Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Crafty-Mrs-Christmas/1475778536013832?fref=ts (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Crafty-Mrs-Christmas/1475778536013832?fref=ts) (well worth a look anyway). My felted things are in the album called 'For sale - handmade cards and'.

She does indeed. She did very well at the last craft fair although none of my things sold. She wants me to put the tooth fairies on etsy as she thinks they will sell well, but I'm not sure. What do you think?

For the small cost per item, plus the time to photograph and post the listing it is another way if getting your talent seen by a wider audience. Go for it is my view!
