In this enchanting needle felting tutorial, we'll embark on a journey to craft a charming and whimsical coffee mug with an adorable belly motif. Needle felting is a versatile art form that involves sculpting wool fibers with a barbed needle, allowing for intricate and imaginative creations. Get ready to infuse your morning routine with a touch of cozy cuteness!

Materials Needed:

Wool roving in your preferred mug colors (mug body, handle, and saucer).

Felting needles in various gauges.

Foam pad or felting surface.

Small scissors.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

• Start by forming a rounded oval shape with your chosen mug-colored wool roving. This will serve as the body of your coffee mug.

• Using a contrasting color, sculpt a cute belly shape in the center of the mug. This will add a delightful touch of character.

• Shape a small, curved piece of wool into a handle. Attach it securely to the side of the mug, ensuring it's at a comfortable height for your fingers.

• Form a round shape for the saucer using a different color of wool roving. Attach it under the mug.
• Use finer gauge needles to add texture, refine shapes, and ensure all elements are securely felted in place.

• Gently poke the surface with a finer gauge needle to give the mug a smooth and polished appearance.

• Trim any excess wool and neaten up the overall look of your coffee mug.

• Get creative by adding patterns, decorations, or even a miniature design to the mug's surface.

By the end of this tutorial, you'll have crafted a one-of-a-kind coffee mug that radiates whimsical charm.
