Felt the Antler Hair Clip and Brooch set, a Christmas needle felting kit by Wizardi. Antler clips, a reindeer, Santa, a snowman and a little forest of trees: a whole set of Christmas accessories to felt yourself.
Crafters say a Christmas made by hand is remembered longest, and a little felted figure on the tree or mantel tends to become part of the family's decorations for years.
Why this kit: small flat pieces are the quickest way into needle felting, and each one takes an evening or less; once they are done you have festive hair clips and brooches to wear all December or to give away.
Kit includes: wool roving in every color of the set, felting needles with wooden needle holders, a felt work mat, finger guards, hair clips, brooch pin backs, black bead eyes, picture instruction cards and a QR code for step-by-step video lessons. Not included: small scissors for trimming stray fibers, which are handy but optional.
How to felt them: pull off small tufts of wool, roll them loosely and jab them with the felting needle, turning as you go so each shape firms up evenly. Build the body first, then the colored details and the face; the wooden holders and finger guards make long sessions comfortable. Watch the video lessons via the QR code whenever a step is unclear.
Finished size: about 1.2 to 2 in (3 to 5 cm) each. Pin them to a coat, scarf or bag, clip them in your hair, or give them as small homemade Christmas gifts. Recommended for ages 14 and up; the felting needles are very sharp, so keep them away from young children.
