To felt larger decorations, you can use a polystyrene base that you can either buy ready-made or cut out from polystyrene. Before starting, please read the article on needle felting appliqué moulds.
)
1 Materials: Polystyrene wreath (can be found at the florist); wool; felting needle; marker; ribbon
)
2 Draw the pattern you wish to have onto the wreath (in our case, a star). Tear off wool fibres.
)
3 By punching with the needle, start filling in the pattern with yellow wool. Start at the edges of the star and work towards the centre.
)
4 Gradually fill in all the stars. If you want to hang the wreath in the middle of an area, make stars on the opposite side as well.
)
5 Fill the area around the stars with dark blue wool and felt using a felting needle.
)
6 Do not completely cover the wreath with wool; let the white base show through in areas to create the illusion of clouds.
)
7 The finished wreath must have all of the fibres firmly interlocked with one another so that they cannot be separated from the felt.
)
8 Make a decorative bow.
)
9 Tie the ribbon.
)
10 Attach the ribbon to the wreath and add a loop for hanging the wreath.
