Mayboos Needle Felting Starter Set, Needle Felting Painting Kit

Very nice beginner set.

Everything you need is provided. I received more yarn then I needed. It was my first time, but this was very easy to do. Clear directions. 2 needles broke, but 4 are provided. Quick and easy project and nice quality. I recommend!

As someone who has never felted before, this kit was easy to use and fun to do! With the video and instructions included it was easy to get the hang of. All of the materials are included and one of the needles broke but 4 were provided so it was no issue. Be careful with the needles though because they are very very sharp! I used the styrofoam provided underneath the felt to poke the needle into. There are no instructions on how to secure the back of the felt once it’s in the ring so I just sewed it and tightened it off. Overall this was a fun project, I recommend!

Very nice kit with everything you need to complete the project. I bought two so that I could share the experience with a friend. Great starter kit for someone who has never felted, or who is experienced. Very happy with it, especially for the price.

These felts are great for beginners and experienced needle felters. Very reasonable price and everything is included in the kit.

I am amazed at the quality of the final products shown here by beginners. This is most definitely not the kit I would have wanted to start my needle felting journey with. I honestly don't think the finished product as shown can be made without machine felting, but then I am a relative beginner myself. All components of this kit are cheap and less than ideal. The wool backing is very thick, making the felting take extra force. The wool is short stranded roving, clean, colorful, but batting would have been much easier to use. The amount of color mixing suggested is difficult to do by hand, the appropriate tools would help but I do not yet own these. (Supposedly a couple of carding combs, same as some types of pet hair removers.). The foam back for felting into is ridiculously small and cheap, get yourself at least an 8 inch square foam felting mat before you start. The needles do seem cheap, but only one bent for me. Felting needles are always very thin and sharp. You need to make sure you bring the needle in and out in the same direction or they will break, no matter what the quality. I highly recommend finger guards and a multi needle tool to make this project safer and faster. The hoop is plastic. Glueing the felt on the back to the hoop is usually the easiest finish, but with this thick felt, it was more difficult. Using the scanned link provided, I got right to the short video which gives some idea of the process. Very incomplete. There are also small pictorial instructions with the kit. I ended up making some thin felt sheets from the roving and cutting out the flower petals which are 3D, imperfect but I did not have the patience to individually felt each of those petals. I suggest looking at the painting with wool kits available on Etsy if you can afford to spend considerably more.

I loved this project, so much fun watching it develops. I read a review by another who stated she can’t believe her final project (excellent ) because it was so hard: I agree with this! It is for “beginners “ but quite irksome for a beginner at times. This was my first project and I can’t believe how well itturned out! If you’re a beginner, you might want to consider doing another before you do this.

Very fun to do! Everything it says! Faux wool
