Working with wool fibers and felting needles we will create a small needle felted model of the solar system!
Class experience
Working with colored wool roving, students will join me in learning to needle felt the most basic 3D shape - a ball - and then we'll transform our wool into the sun and 8 planets of our solar system!

Students will learn the planets that form our solar system, and the basic needle felting skills to create a ball.
Needle Felting Needle & Felting Suface/Pad/Mat Wool Roving (at least a good handful in amount) in the following colors: Sun - Yellows/Oranges/Reds Mercury - Grays Venus - Tans & Yellows Earth - Blue & Green Mars - Reds Jupiter - White & Tan Saturn - Tan/Yellow & Gray Uranus - Teal/Light Blue Neptune - Blue Colors may be chosen and substituted at the students preference, with the understanding that their final product may not look the same as mine! Optional for after class mobile making: Fishing Line/Clean Monofilament and sewing needle, stick, hoop, or other item to suspend planets from. If you have any questions about materials, please message me!
This class involves the use of sharp needle felting needles. Parents should judge the ability of their child to exercise caution and impulse control in the use of sharp objects around their fingers.
