Needle Felting a Purse Kit!

With our newly revised step-by-step instructions, you will
be guaranteed success on your very own mastepiece!

We shows you step0by-step how to needle felt the purse
around a foam form, and give basic instructions for
wet felting your purse to a beautiful and durable finish!

The "Deluxe" Needle Felted Purse Kit comes with a
wooden 4-needle felting tool, or you can try our metal 4-needle tool
which allows for quick-change of the felting needles.

To finish your purse to a durable and smooth surface,
you will want to wet felt it. Consider our imported olive oil soap
and our wet felting mesh as basic tools for your studio.

LIVELY Jazz Cat by Cindy Lee of Folsom, CA

"Here’s a picture of one of my Jazz Cats that I’m needle felting for a show at our local gallery during the Sacramento Jazz Festival. I plan to felt a whole bandstand full! The Spanish Fiesta colors you offer are perfect for this theme. Thanks for your wonderful website. It’s an inspiration."

In 2010 Living Felt held an International Felting Contest with two themes: Felted Dolls
and Alice In Wonderland.

The contest was designed to inspire quality in craftsmanship, to encourage artists to reach for their very best effort, to create a lasting source of inspiration to artists, and to support promotion of felting as an artistic medium.
