Wet Felt Night Owl
Wet Felt Night Owl Lampincludes patterns for making your own resist and supplies list
Supplies:
- 1.5-2 oz of Merino Short Fiber Batts in White or Light Color (or Merino Top)
- MC-1 Felting Batts in a variety of colors for owl face/decoration
- Wet felting Resist Material (your preference of thin, thick or small bubble wrap - we used our thick resist)

- Olive Oil Soap
- Water and Towels
- Felting Needles
- Earth Harmony Needle Felting Foam size 5x5 or smaller (must fit inside owl) lamp base. You can use an old salt lamp base, an Ikea night light works great because the decorative top comes off, or a lamp base kit

**If you do not wish for this to be a night light, it would also make a wonderful stuffed toy.
Dog Days of Summer
The dog days of summer are upon us and you don’t have to be an astrology buff to know that these are some of the hottest days of the year. These are the days that we give extra water to the birds and plants, perhaps take ourselves to the beach (or at least wish we were, there!When it is really hot outside, it is also a perfect time to be inside felting and crafting. We have lots of fun summer projects to felt up like needle felting a beach gnome, needle felting sand pipers, needle felting beach huts or jelly fish.
If you are feeling adventurous, check out our online classes for needle felting a narwhal or waves crashing on the beach.
