Needle Felting: Teddy Bear Purse Charm

Enjoy learning basic needle felting techniques as we create a charming teddy bear purse charm. Participants will learn how to form basic shapes that can be used for many other projects, and how to attach a keychain to finish off their charms.
Participants will take home their completed project, any leftover wool, a wooden handle with needle, extra multi sized needles, felting mat, organizer case, and reusable tote bag.
Step-by-step guidance, laughter, relaxation, and creativity are all part of the experience. Completed bears are approximately 3 inches tall when sitting.

Community Instructor: Iva Jean Kristek
For ten years, Iva Jean has been making original needle felted creations. Every class project is created solely by Iva Jean. Even when she was working full time in a non related field, she found needle felting to be a very relaxing pastime. Iva Jean has used her experiences living in 3 different states to expand her needle felting knowledge, which led to her being a member of an artisan group where she made and sold her creations. Iva Jean now enjoys sharing with others this fun and relaxing artform.
