Fabric colors may vary. The Scissors adapted for Proddy may be borrowed and returned or purchased for an additional cost of $7.50. All other materials including fiber, wool flower fabrics, needles, felting pad, and wood hoop are included. You will need scissors and a hot glue gun to complete the project.

The finished felting (7") will be framed inside a provided hoop.
This class is beginner friendly, but fun for anyone! The class will be recorded, so you can watch the recorded video at a later date if you can't make it that night!
