1. Needle-Felted Stars: Learn how to shape wool roving into soft, thick stars with rounded points.
2. Felted Holly Leaves with Red Berries: Master layering and attaching felt to craft holly leaves, adding a festive yet versatile touch to your garland.

Step-by-Step Crafting Process

Part 1: Felting the Stars
Start by dividing your mustard-coloured wool roving and shaping it into compact discs. Using the needle felting technique, you’ll transform the discs into star shapes by sculpting five evenly spaced points. These stars will serve as one of the focal elements of your garland.

Part 2: Crafting Toadstools
The toadstools involve shaping white wool for the stems and red wool for the caps, adding needle-felted white spots for detail. This step brings a playful woodland theme to your garland.

Part 3: Creating Holly Leaves
Cut holly shapes from the green felt using the provided templates. Attach felted berries to the leaves for a pop of colour. The combination of layers and textures makes these leaves a standout feature.

Part 4: Assembling Your Garland
Finally, arrange your handmade elements, felt balls, and beads in your desired order. Thread them onto the baker’s twine using the tapestry needle. Adjust the placement to ensure balance and symmetry, creating a cohesive and visually appealing garland.
