Needle felted Christmas Baubles

In the run up to Christmas last year, just before I started my Maternity leave,  my boss asked me to make her a set of christmas baubles.

Lucky for her I had recently purchased some gorgeous white and burgundy wool batts from a stall at the Yarndale festival in September,  and had been looking for an excuse to use it! (Yarndale is an annual event held at Skipton Auction Mart, North Yorkshire - just a ten minute drive away from my home).

For these baubles, I used 8cm polystyrene balls and I wet felted the wool around the balls.  When they were dry I needle felted the details on.

I made a set of 12 matching/ contrasting balls and I was rather sad to part with them.  I think I'll make myself a set this year!
