Felt Needle Planning

Objectives:

• To learn how to use needles and felt to create an object
• To experiment with arts and crafts materials

Materials:

• Needles (and spare ones)
• Different colors of felt
• Sponge
• Scissors

Procedure:

1. Pick the felt of your choice
2. Poke it with a needle
3. Keep poking it
4. Continue to poke it until you form your desired shape
1. For round parts, roll it into a ball-like shape and poke it
2. For longer parts, roll it into a long shape and poke it
5. When you have all your parts, attach it together by poking it some more, in the area where the two pieces meet
1. If you have difficulty, get a little bit of felt and put it between the two parts you want to attach together. That little bit of felt acts like "glue"
6. To make your piece of felt harder, keep poking it until it feels somewhat hard

Initial Ideas:

I had a few things in mind that I wanted to create.

• Dog
• Alpaca
• Penguin

In the end, I settled to make a penguin.
