I created this felt pin and added some extra red wool I got to make a bow to add some colors to the pin. The kit had some parts including: eyes, the whiskers where long plastic strings which required cutting, and a diy back pin.

I used felting needles and a foam block to do the felting. I used a penknife so I could get the eyes in, a regular sewing needle to make space for the whiskers, and superglue to make sure the non-felt objects (eyes, whiskers, pin) stay put. I did an overlay for the back pin for reinforcement.

I enjoyed doing my best to get the patterns of my cat's face onto the felt. I loved how the black imperfection on my cat's nose turned out on the pin.
