Felt Fairy House
New Udemy course – Making a needle felted hedgehog!
I’ve just launched another online needle felting course on Udemy! We’re going to learn how to make cute hedgehogs like this one.
This course is a bit more advanced. It gets deeper into sculpting and creating facial features, as well as creating the “fur” effect and attaching the skin fabric.
As usual, there will be a course giveaway for my followers. Subscribe to my mailing list to get discounts (and even free copies!) of my courses.
Happy felting!
Halton Waldorf School Mayfair

Monthly Needle Felting Workshops
I’ve started running monthly needle felting workshops in Toronto. We needle felt together and make wonderful toys and sculptures from wool. No prior experience needed, you can come and just enjoy the craft, which is very warm and colorful.
Next workshop will take place on October 25th at 7 pm.
Address is 300 Antibes Dr.
Please RSVP at lena@childhoodin.me before coming.
My Needle Felting Course is New and Noteworthy!
Guess who’s course is marked as New and Noteworthy in Udemy’s Arts & Crafts section? 🙂
I wonder how long it will stay there. Big thanks to everyone who has enrolled and given me high marks! I plan on continuing to work on it to make it the best online needle felting class for beginners possible!
Looks like they’re running a $19 promotion in Canada now (not sure about other places, but me & my friends have seen these prices today). Go for it!
Needle Felting Essentials online course launched!
I’m super excited to just have published my first needle felting online course on Udemy ! Now I want to get a ton of feedback so that I can improve it. My goal is to make it the best possible course for beginner needle felters.
I’ve tried to gather all the knowledge I wish I had when I was just starting out, so that I can help people save time and materials.
I’m offering the course for free to first 100 students!
The only thing I ask – if you could please give me honest feedback when you’re done.
Update: the initial giveaway is now over, but I will be doing some draws to give away free copies to my YouTube and mailing list subscribers (see the video here for details).
