Needle Felted Mini Bear -- KIT & Instruction Booklet

This is another DIY Workshop created by felter and wool sculptor, Marie Spaulding. Created with the complete beginner in mind, but useful for anyone who wants to learn to work with carded wool and felting needles.
Marie designed these instructions to help people who are not near workshops or who want to try needle felting without investing a lot of money. Whether you are into felting, spinning, or other crafts, you'll love how easy & fun needle felting is.

Learn to make a string jointed, mini OOAK Bear from wool roving and felting needles.
You'll learn how to make a basic muzzle or a more prominent one with an open mouth (as pictured),
