Once you’ve created a whole world of whimsical woodland creatures, they’ll need a house to live in! In Felt It: Make a Mushroom House, sisters Melissa and Jennifer VanSant of Going Gnome will guide you through every step in creating an adorable, tiny mushroom house for your forest friends. You’ll learn about the specific needle felting materials you’ll need, how to make structural felt pieces that stand up on their own, techniques for shaping and embellishing the mushroom cap, and how to attach and secure pieces together. Learn how to add smaller details such as moss and rocks that make all the difference. Needle felting is a fun, affordable, and easy craft. You’ll love crafting with the VanSant sisters!

Once you’ve finished your mushroom house, check out the VanSants’ other video workshops for garden gnomes, a sleeping fox, and more.
