Participants will take home their completed project, any leftover wool, a wooden handle with extra needles, felting mat, instructions, organizer case, and a reusable tote bag.
Step-by-step guidance, laughter, relaxation, and creativity are all part of the experience. Completed trees are approximately 8 inches wide by 12 inches high, and each bear is approximately 3 inches.

For ten years, Iva Jean has been making original needle felted creations. Every class project is created solely by Iva Jean. Even when she was working full time in a non related field, she found needle felting to be a very relaxing pastime. Iva Jean has used her experiences living in 3 different states to expand her needle felting knowledge, which led to her being a member of an artisan group where she made and sold her creations. Iva Jean now enjoys sharing with others this fun and relaxing artform.
