CraftArtedu - New Needle Felting Classes and 50% Off Beginner Classes!

Whoo Gives a Hoot Needle-Felted Owls
 
Who gives a hoot about this class? You will! Especially if you love these solitary nocturnal creatures! Did you know that there are 200 hundred different species of owls?
 
In this class, Harlan shows you how to needle felt seven owls including the Barn Owl and Great Horned Owl; three of the colorful designs are from Harlan's imagination! Each owl is about 2½ inches tall, with its own distinct look and appealing personality. Once you practice Harlan's techniques, they can be made in a couple of hours!
 
This comprehensive class is broken out into four parts (over 70 minutes!), and you will learn many techniques including:
  • two different construction methods for the Barn Owl
  • how to use a blend of colors to add interest and detail
  • how to make faux yarn
  • how to set the eyes and attach the beak
  • feet, leg and claw construction
  • how to make wings that are posable
  • how to adapt your owl to brooches
These charming pieces can stand on their own as figures, but you will also learn how to transform them into hanging ornaments. What a perfect gift for an owl or bird lover!
 
Level: Advanced Beginner | $35
 
Warning: Making owls can be addictive!

Pringles® and Tomato Bangle Bracelet 
 
Learn how to construct three different needle-felted bangle bracelets in this fun new class from Harlan! This project is great for using up leftover fibers from other projects. While making your bangles, you'll learn several techniques including how to:
  • create a mold using common household items
  • make a bangle with both a square and rounded edge
  • use color randomly and with more control over color placement
  • embellish the surface (Harlan includes lots of ideas to get you started!)
In contrast to wet-felted bangle techniques, this method will give you more control over the size, shape and especially the finish, allowing you to embellish
and personalize your bangles in a variety of ways. Bangles are wonderful accessories and make great gifts, too!
 
 
Level: Beginner and Intermediate | $10

The design variations for these bangles are endless!
