Felted Bird

This sweet birdie's finished size is about 3 inches high and 2 inches wide. The nest is approximately 4 inches in diameter.

Ingredients:
- cinnamon roving
- ampelopsis roving
- banana roving
- licorice roving
- snow colored felt balls

Tools:
- foam mat to felt on
- felting needle
- a piece of foam to cut up

Step 1 Make Nest

To begin, pull about two continuous feet of wool off a cinnamon roving bundle. Shape into a 3-dimensional nest with your hands (approx. 4" in diameter). Cut a small piece of foam to fit the inside of your nest and place it inside. With your nest upside down on your foam mat, begin felting the piece by poking your felting needle into the wool and back out again (your needle will go slightly into the foam inside). Do this all over your nest for five to ten minutes until your nest has begun to firm up. Take the foam piece inside of your nest out and felt the inside with your needle for another 5 to 10 minutes. When you are happy with your nest's firmness, place it aside.
