Create a lasting bouquet, no watering required! In this beginner-friendly needle felting workshop, you’ll learn how to sculpt soft, 3D tulips using 100% sheep’s wool. We’ll cover the basics of felting techniques as you shape petals, build stems, and assemble a charming bouquet to take home.

This class is perfect for those new to needle felting or looking to expand into three-dimensional forms. Due to the use of sharp felting needles and detailed work, it’s best suited for teens and adults rather than young children. All materials are provided.
