Needle Felted Baby Eggbert
Needle Felting is a magical little process ! These little critters are as cute as can be, and you don't have to feed them ! We'll take you through the process step by step guiding with individual attention and assistance. You can even choose the color of Eggbert's flower bag. It's easier than you may think to felt one of these delightful characters, and with a little practice, you'll be doing it with speed and accuracy and develop your own unique style. They make great gifts for so many occasions or you can create a fun menagerie of your own !
