Needle Felting Fail

I was given a needle felting kit for my birthday. It’s not a craft I’ve ever tried before, but according to the kit it was “easy peasy” and suitable for complete beginners from the age of 10 years upwards.

If only it was that simple……

The reality was rather different! The result looks like a diseased bird crossed with Marge Simpson…… If I saw something like that on my bird feeder, I’d run a mile!

    Yes, a definite fail there, definitely under performing on that task. You could try smashing its head with a heavy weight and then use a electric razor to shave it and see if that looks any better 🙂
