Description:

For this swap, you will create a needle felted heart.

A FELTED heart is created by using wool roving and a special needle. This is a simple tutorial

You can use multiple layers to add color or cover the exterior with a different color roving.

Here are the item specifics:

You will create 1 needle felted heart, at least an inch across.

The color is sender's choice, but the shape must be a heart.

Please include a little note to your partner with your name and the swap name. If this is your first time needle felting, you MIGHT want to comment about your experience and if you would like to try it again.

Here are the swap specifics:

You will need to send and rate your partner promptly. If you encounter any issues, you need to contact your swap partner and myself BEFORE the send by date.

Since this is a sender's choice swap, you can start right away and practice if you are a perfectionist. We all want to send and receive a piece that shows care and craftsmanship, but remember:

This is a BEGINNING needle felting challenge. If you receive a needle felted heart, with note identifying the sender and the swap, postmarked by the send by date - you will rate a five.

You need to have a well filled out profile and a valid address on file with NH.

Vetting my swap: Since this is a newbie swap, I will accept unrated swappers. However, I reserve the right to ban any swappers that I wish. If I ban you, I am open to creating a private swap.

It is my desire to create a fun, SAFE, type 3 craft swap giving you experience with a new media you might want to try in an easy, non judgmental swap.

I will angel, after you have communicated with your partner and rated a 1.

Please create, send on time, mark your swap sent, and rate promptly, ALL are your swap RESPONSIBILITIES.

Can we add embellishments to the heart like beads or charms or maybe a leather strap? I am new to this but I always like to kick things up a notch.

Sure! The swap is designed to be SIMPLE, but you can add additional things. Remember, the heart must be FELTED (not made of felt), so inclusions would be easy as you go rather than trying to sew into the hardened felt later. I made that mistake the other day when I tried to make one a charm AFTER I'd finished felting - my I pin wouldn't pierce it.
