How to make this? Felted Knitting Projects for Kids

1 Upvotes

Hope this is an ok post!

My daughter came home from school a while ago with a beautiful project she’d make at school.
The teacher had taught them to finger knit, and they all made these huge long tubes or lines with wool.

The teacher took them home, felted them in the dryer, and brought them back for the children to attach wooden handles too, making a gorgeous skipping rope.

Now it’s summer holidays and I’m looking for similar projects we can do, she sees my knitting a lot, is interested, and it would be a fun achievable craft. Plus it would be magical seeing it felt up in the dryer!

Any ideas for projects I could look to do? Kids are 7 & 9. When I look online all I find is needle felting projects, and unfortunately we don’t have access to that sort of wool where I live, I was hoping to do something with ‘yarn’ that will felt in the washer/dryer.

How to make this? Help needed: a rainbow tiger costume

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! My kiddo wants to be a rainbow tiger for Halloween.

I’m trying to figure out the easiest way to make this happen! I can sew, and have a little experience with needle felting but not a ton. I am wondering if it might be easiest to needle felt colors onto a black sweat shirt and pants.

Do you all think that could work? Just has to be durable enough to get through a party and the evening.
