For the last year I have been volunteering with a local Young Textiles Group, who meet on the second Saturday of every month. The fun and lively meetings offer children and teenagers the opportunity to learn a new craft and create fun and interesting objects to take home.
This October I had the opportunity to host my first craft session. In true Halloween style, I guided the eager young attendees (and the adult helpers!) how to make needle felted pumpkins.
Preparing for a busy afternoon…
I’m pleased to report that the afternoon was a great success, and a good time was had by all. I was highly impressed by the creativity of all the participants, and by the end of the day we had a fantastic display of beautifully made pumpkins!
The group produced a wonderful display of needle felted pumpkins to celebrate this special time of year!
Everyone left with their pumpkins and a smile, and I was delighted to be asked to host another needle felting session next year. So I’m already looking forward to sharing more skills and fun with the young crafters, and seeing what clever creations they will produce.
