Felted Ornaments and Gift Toppers

Create a festive ornament using needle felting techniques alongside teaching artist Kayla Ann! This fun project utilizes cookie cutters you may already have at home to create a felted ornament and/or gift topper with clean lines, even shape, and adorable details. This class is ideal for beginners looking to learn more about needle felting and Nordic culture. These delightful ornaments and gift toppers are the perfect way to step up your gift-giving or decorate your home. Students will leave with both a finished project and the knowledge to continue needle felting outside of class.
