Wool Fairy Tutorial (Waldorf Inspired)

DURATION: Approximately: 2 hrs
SKILL LEVEL: Beginner// No previous experience required
SIZE: 9” / 23cm tall without hanger 


I have uploaded the PDF file. I finished the file earlier today so I thought you might want to get a head start on getting your supplies for a weekend project.


I am not an expert with wool or needle felting. This is truly a basic lesson with many steps explained. Read through the directions and hopefully I can make time to create the video for this tutorial as well next week. I like to have the option to print something out when following a tutorial. So I am creating the two types of tutorials.

I would greatly appreciated if you give feedback on my tutorials to make sure the quality of the document is good and easy to follow.  Also, I would really like to see the creations you make. Please post a link so I can see what you can make. Happy Felting!!

I am posting these videos also on my YouTube channel I created.

Posting date begins: May 6th - May 14th. The videos are between 8 mins to 12 min each.

Passionate Purple Fairy

I created this fairy with a touch of copper and beads to try something a bit different. This fairy measures 20cm long from head to copper beads on the bottom. Well formed she will grace any area of the room with her presence. This Waldorf inspired fairy will be included in my inventory of things to sell at the Kerstmarkt.

I have other colours of merino wool but have not created any new ones lately. Keep an eye out in the coming weeks as I will be posting  "Pretty in Pink" and "Winter Bliss".

Psst. They are not so hard to make once you get the technique down. The more I make the easier it gets and the less time it takes me to make them. Pipe cleaners, wool batting, merino wool and some wool hair is all that is needed.

If you are in the area I live in there is not a craft/hobby store around. The two stores I have gone to and are currently open. They have merino wool and pipe cleaners. DeBanier and Kreabo are both filled with lots of hobby tools and accessories. I really like the Kreabo because it is much bigger in supplies...a warehouse full of crafts and things.I could spend all day in there looking at everything and wanting to buy it all..haha. oh well, one craft at a time. I am closer to DeBanier but will frequent both as they have great supplies. It took me a long time to find these two places. There seems to be a demand for crafting but not too many store stay open in my area.
