finished project

step 1: Needle felt a heart (this one is as big as my hand).
step 2: take a piece of fabric and stamp the Banksy Unhappy boy 19493 on it with Stazon.
step 3: search in your stack for some lace, tule. ribbon. string and silk flowers. Decide which layout works best and then needle felt it onto the heart.
step 4: take a piece of ribbon and stamp The great unknown 19350 onto it with Stazon. Pin it to the heart with a little black safety pin.
step 5: needle felt some balls.
step 6: assemble the whole thing by drilling holes into a wooden cube. Take some wire and cut them into different size pieces. Take a long needle and make holes into the centre of the heart and balls. Finish it off with some string.
I know not everyone is into needle felting, but hopely this piece inspires you to make something awesome. Think about how it would look like if you used a fabric heart and wooden balls, or make this as a fully paper version. I think that would look awesome as well.

Beautiful work. Great design. Love the detailing. It makes me feel happy. Thankyou for sharing Anneke.
ReplyDeleteI am the worst needle felter. I thought it looked easy, but turns out there's a learning curve and the needles are stinking sharp! so I love when I see someone else pull it off...this is really a fun piece.
