Bee in a Hoop Needle Felting Craft Kit

Paint with wool. Make a bee. Give her somewhere to buzz.

The Bee in a Hoop Needle Felting Craft Kit from The Crafty Kit Company is a beginner-friendly introduction to 2D needle felting—a wonderfully tactile technique that feels a little like painting, only your colors happen to be made of wool.

Working on wool-mix felt fabric inside a 15 cm bamboo embroidery hoop, you'll layer and shape Corriedale wool to create your bee one bit of color and texture at a time. Full-color photographic instructions guide you through the process, and the kit includes the tools and materials needed to get started.

With approximately two hours of making time, it's an approachable first felting project or a satisfying little afternoon make. When you're finished, the hoop becomes the frame, ready to hang or display.

Why We Love It

This is a very good way to spend two hours with a bee.

The hoop kits are such an approachable introduction to felting because you don't have to construct an entire three-dimensional creature. Instead, you can experiment with color, texture, layering, and shape on a flat surface while learning how wool responds to the needle.

And we particularly like the bee as a first subject. She's recognizable without needing to be precise. A little rounder? Excellent bee. Slightly fluffier? Also excellent bee.

Nature has already given you permission to work in black and yellow. The rest is yours.
