This cute pillow has a Christmas design needle felted onto the front of it. A jolly snowman with red scarf decorated with a gold star, red mittens to match, and a top hat sits under a gold star beside a decorated pine tree. The pillow itself was made with upholstery fabric, with a coordinating fabric used for the back, and measures approximately 10" x 10". It is stuffed with alpaca fiber.
This felted pillow would make a unique Christmas decoration that can be kept out during the winter after the holidays have passed, or a special gift for family or friend.
Needle felting is the process of repeatedly pushing a barbed needle into a tuft of fiber, agitating, compressing, and locking the fiber together into a more dense mass of fiber. The entire process involves many hours and lots of poking with a felting needle to shape and create the finished design. Each felted piece is a labor of love.
