Needle Felting :: Cupcake Brooch Tutorial

Whilst at my aunties I learnt about needle felting and now it's my turn to teach it to you. I love brooches and cupcakes and so I made a cupcake brooch. It's really easy to do and once you've started you won't be able to stop. The materials you'll need are:
  • Felting Needles
  • An unused sponge
  • Felted wool
  • Strong glue
  • Brooch Back
1.Loosely fold together white 'felting wool' in a ball. Then lay it on the sponge and stab over the entire surface of the wool with a needle whilst trying to keep it a circular shape.2. Stab for at least 5 minutes for the wool to bind together. Add more wool if the surface is not even. 3.Choose the colour of 'felting wool' for the cupcake case and icing. 4.Then stab the Cupcake case wool to the white base. Add extra wool to create the shape whilst stabbing until flat and bindedTIP: You can tuck in the edges of the felt with the needle to create a sharper edge. 5.For the icing stab on a first layer of wool then add extra wool to create the shape, when flat and UN-fluffy it is done. 6. For the cherry roll a small ball of red 'felting wool' and stab it to the top of the cake. 7.Turn the white base over and stab the surface and sides to evenly felt any bumps. Stab the edges till evenly circular. 8. With strong glue adhere the brooch back to the back of the felted cupcake and leave to dry. Then you have create a cute felted brooch!----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I gave the brooch to my aunty as a present but I'm looking forward to making more. Maybe an owl, or camera, or a moustache brooch?! I hope you enjoyed the tutorial and I hope you have a lovely day. PEACE xo
