Sometimes all a wreath or holiday tree needs is a little bird embellishment.  A beautiful cardinal or dove can transform an average holiday decoration into something classic and traditional.  If you love “putting a bird on it” and decorating your house and home with bird crafts, you’re going to love Felted Feathered Friends, a new book devoted to creating lovely felted birds of all shapes and sizes.

Felted Feathered Friends is a beautiful book filled with patterns to create 20 adorable birds.  With superb photography, detailed instructions, and helpful tips and suggestions, Felted Feathered Friends makes a great gift for someone who is new to felting or is looking for inspiration.

The great thing about felt projects is that they require 3 materials (felt, needle, and foam pad).  They’re light weight and make beautiful ornaments, hair accessories, and more.  The Cardinal pattern found in Felted Feathered Friends would look stunning in a holiday tree or attached to a Christmas gift.  Even those who have never felted before can learn the basics of creating their very own feathered friend.

If you’ve been meaning to get into felting or have wanted to try a felting project that is quick and easy to learn, be sure to check out Felted Feathered Friends.  These 20 birds are fun and easy to make, and you won’t believe how much fun you will have creating them!
