Needle-Felted Easter Eggs

    Okay, listen up everyone!

 If you haven't bought yourself a needle-felting kit since my Felted Acorn tutorial, do so now!  You MUST make the following craft...it is too fun to pass up!  

I'll be using these felted festive eggs as place card holders in a couple weeks for our Easter dinner.  I have a few more to make...I can't wait to finish them.

 

Felt the wool into an egg shape and decorate...it's that easy! 

 (The green egg on the left needs to be felted a bit more so it's the same size as the pink one--by doing so, the wool fibers will become tighter/firmer--this is what you want)

To purchase needle-felting supplies and wool roving, visit your local yarn shop.  If you do not have one nearby you can shop online for needles, foam and wool.  

I would love to see a picture of your felted Easter eggs!  Have fun!

Hi, Oh these are just no comparision to other "fake eggs" !!!! I live in New England and rarely are we able to have outdoor egg hunts due to the weather. These will be perfect to hide inside. I'd like to start a tradition of adding a new one each year. I just ordered some pastel roving off of etsy and can't wait to start. Do you have any advice on how to get the egg shape? (I have made acorns before). About how much roving do you start with?

Thanks for being so creative!

Hi Jennifer! I love your idea of adding a new one to your collection every year! If I remember correctly, I achieved the egg shape by needle felting the top portion more than the bottom. It might help to have an actual egg with you to refer to. As for the amount of roving I used, it's hard to say...I think at first I didn't have enough but just wrapped more around what I had started until I liked the size. I hope that helps! I would love to see a picture of what you make. :)
