Dimensions Cat Felt Animals Needle Felting Kit, 3.5'' x 4''

I wanted to give needle felting a try after watching a simple walkthrough on youtube, so I was glad to see this kind of kit on amazon for such a cheap price! Over all, the project took me between 1.5 and 2 hours, probably. It helped that I watched a few instruction videos beforehand (I learn best that way)The instructions were very clear and straight forward! The only part that totally confused me was the instructions on threading the eyes. I read it over and over again until I just said "forget it" and used some plastic eyes I had on hand for another project. The embroidery on the back was a bit confusing, too, but I didn't look too deeply into it since I was going to use it as a pin cushion anyway. I skipped that step. (Threading is the kind of thing I normally need a video tutorial for, though, so I can't say it'll be as confusing for everyone)I ended up accidentally not using all of the wool, and my hedgehog was a lot longer than it was tall, but as my mom said, I just "made it my own", and I'm still very happy with it! I use it as a pin cushion (I saw another reviewer did, too!)Although this isn't worth taking away a star, I do wish the package listed somewhere exactly how much wool was included, so I had reference when buying more wool online.

This little kit was an excellent introduction to needle felting. I had never picked up a felting needle before, but became interested after seeing the many adorable items on the internet (baby llama anyone??) I'm somewhat crafty but had no idea where to begin. This kit truly contains everything needed, including instructions. I did look at a couple of youtube videos on needle felting, only because it does take a long time for the wool to become felt, so I wanted to make sure I was doing it right. It took about 3 to 4 hours total for the project. The resulting penguin figurine is so cute! Unfortunately, my dog liked it too and immediately chewed off the penguin's wings and tail. Luckily they are easy to reattach. My dog and cat were both very interested in the wool while I was working with it, so I recommend keeping it out of reach. I also recommend the rubber thimbles you can buy separately, because I stabbed my fingers several times and they're not joking when they say the needle is sharp.

This was a gift for my mom since I thought she would appreciate something crafty to do in her free time. She really liked it and enjoyed trying out felting for the first time. The end product was really cute (she sent me a photo and it looks just like the one on the package!) and I'm planning on getting her a more advanced felting kit for her birthday.The one little issue she had was that the needle broke when she was about halfway done with it, but she said it was probably because she was using it wrong and not because of any actual issues with the needle itself. She bought a new needle and finished it the next week.Otherwise, I think this is a really great product! It's a fun and simple project for just about anyone and the end product is quite cute. After seeing my mom make it, I'm thinking of giving it a try myself!

Great crafting project. This was my first experience felting and it was a bit hit or miss. I wish the instructions were a bit more detailed. I would suggest watching the YouTube videos of this kit and reading Gingerbreadforest's 12/04/2012 and Kindle Customer's 12/20/2013 Amazon reviews of this kit. More helpful hints: the kit's wool is very forgiving. I was able to remove or add wool at will, plus hide mistakes. I would suggest playing with the wool as you go to see what you can do with it. For the dog's spots, you can make the brown wool edges a bit fuzzy, blending it into the white wool (more realistic for me) or more defined for a clearer shape. I used toothpicks to hold the wool down for needling the spots, eyes, nose, and tail enabling me to use both hands to needle and hold the dog. This makes it much easier for small work. Also, Michael's sells this same kit for $30.00, Amazon's is almost half the cost.

Oh my gosh, most adorable project ever!! I did take some liberties with the instructions, adding some shading with the mid-range tan colour on the body and adding dark brown shading to the ears. My daughter put in black beaded pins as eyes which are very cute as I made it up as a pincushion. This project is out of the box easy, took just a couple of hours, at least half of that waiting in carpool or fast food drive through. I actually ordered two by mistake and am thinking about buying more to make up pin-cushions for sewing friends. I'm not usually a kit person, if there is such a thing, but I up until ordering this, I had never even heard of needle felting. Truly. Now I think I've dipped my toe in the water and, thanks to the clear instructions, am incredibly pleased with the results, I think I have the skills to invent my own creatures and am toying with the idea of building on an armature next. Not bad for a first-timer, eh?

I'm horrible at arty crafty stuff. But I wanted to get a new hobby besides video games and TV. Something creative that I could do without feeling frustrated or disappointed in the result. Needle felting is it! I can only cross stitch for a craft, but now I'm in love with this too. For me it's easier and more fun than cross stitch. So the kit has literally everything you'll need. It gives you enough wool to take some liberties with the pattern too. Like if you want a fatter bird or more color, I had wool left over in all colors. So I made the bird and it's far from perfect. I couldn't figure out the needle/thread details very well so I just made the eyes out of the felt and skipped the wing detail. It was really fun to make and I'm going to continue the hobby!

Llegó perfecto justo como dice en la descripción

My daughter, 13 years old, loved creating this felt llama. It was her first felt project and she did it brilliantly, it's not too difficult. It arrived within a few days and we can highly recommend it.

Great for any beginner

Spedizione e imballaggio perfetti.La busta contiene tutto il necessario per creare il riccio (ago per infeltrire e ago per cucire). L'ho iniziato appena arrivato e l'ho finito in poco tempo con un buon risultato :), alcuni passaggi possono non essere chiari ma su youtube si trova un video.Molto bello ♡

I already needle felt but this was a fun new way to do it! Would be a greater starter kit too for first timers!
