Needle Felted Hedgehog Pin Cushion Tutorial- Home Sweet Home

This is the second part of the previous organising of the pin cushion project. Lovely reader Erin sent me a really cute pattern for a stitched felt hedgehog which I am going to make as well but I am SUPER obsessed with needle felting at the moment, it’s such an easy craft and really quick too once you get the hang of it! I bought a needle from Morris and Sons and some roving from Lincraft to start myself off ad see if I actually enjoyed it before I went crazy. For the base of the hedgehog I used some white pillow stuffing so I didn’t waste my yarn XD Stab it into a little ball the size of the body you want and flatten the bottom. I might do a more detailed tutorial/video on this later if anyone wants to see ^_^ Cut a small piece of wool to use as a nose. Spin it into a point at one end. Felt it into shape and then felt it into one end of the ball. Add random colours all over the body. I made mine quite fluffy and used synthetic fluff because it looked more cotton candy-ish. Add some little back eyes. And little round feet for it to stand on. Then once it’s the density you want (fairly thick) you just need to pop in all of your pins! My old pin cushion looks a little sad next to the super cute hedgehog! The other project I made with my kit that night was a little fox! I love foxes, they look so cuddly… they’re not in real life but they look like they should be! I also tried to make a Bergamot before I had any black roving so she didn’t turn out so well XD Now that I have more colours I want to remake her! Have any of you guys tried needle felting? I think I’m completely addicted now!
