This is my original design for a wool needle felted bird
I filmed it in my garden listening to the birds singing.
Here are some written instructions
What fun to make needle felted birds: You will need: Carded wool, needle felting needle and a small piece of sponge pad.
1.. Take a piece of wool 7 inches long, make a knot 1 inch from the end, fold small bit over head and needle felt in.
2. Concertina the wool to form a body, and needle felt in.
3. Take a piece of wool 7 inches long and fold in half, lay this on the back of the bird, this forms the tail, needle felt in
4. Take a piece of wool 5 inches long and wrap it around the birds body, going over and under, needle felt in.
5. Take a 5 inch piece of wool and wrap it horizontally around the bird and needle felt in
Spend a bit of time firming the bird by poking it with the needle
7. Get a small bit of pink wool for the beak and needle felt it first on the sponge pad, then add to bird.
8. Add some dark blue wool for the eyes and you have it, you own little bird of happiness
9. To see a lovely photo of my rainbow birds
