by kevin chai on December 14, 2023

In this delightful needle felting tutorial, we'll guide you step by step in creating an adorable little bear holding a bouquet of tiny felted flowers. Needle felting is a wonderfully therapeutic craft that involves sculpting soft wool fibers with a barbed needle to create intricate shapes and designs.

Materials Needed:

Wool roving in various colors (brown, green, and assorted flower colors)

Felting needles in different gauges

Foam pad or felting surface

Wire for armature (optional)

Felting glue (optional)

Small scissors

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Creating the Bear's Body:

Start by shaping a ball of brown wool roving into an oval for the bear's body. Attach a small amount of wool for the head and shape it accordingly.
Attach small pieces of brown wool to form the bear's arms and legs.

Adding the Bear's Features:

Using a finer gauge needle, carefully create the facial features like eyes, nose, and mouth. Remember, less is more. You can always add more wool if needed.

Forming the Bear's Ears and Tail:

Take two small pieces of brown roving and shape them into ears. Attach them to the head.
For the tail, roll a small amount of wool into a cylinder shape and attach it to the back.

Preparing the Bouquet:

Choose assorted flower colors and shape them into tiny petals and leaves. Attach them to a wire stem if desired.

Assembling the Bear and Bouquet:

Attach the bear's arms securely to its body using a felting needle. Position them to hold the bouquet.
Attach the bouquet to the bear's arms, securing it with a bit of felting glue if necessary.

Adding Final Details:

Use finer gauged needles to refine details and ensure everything is securely felted in place.

Finishing Touches:

Trim any excess wool and neaten up the bear's fur.

By the end of this tutorial, you'll have created a charming little bear that holds a beautiful bouquet, perfect for gifting or adorning your space with handmade cuteness. Remember, needle felting is a versatile craft, so feel free to get creative and add your own personal touches! Happy felting!
