Shiba Inu and Piggy Needle Felting Kit by Wizardi F07N8-Z-12

This Christmas set felts up into a tan Shiba Inu wearing a santa hat, seated in a red-and-white striped ornament base on a swing; a brown fawn character in a matching santa hat and ornament base; a pale pink piggy in a red, fur-trimmed santa robe holding a green wreath; and a red-hooded character with brown antler ears and a red nose in a matching reindeer costume. Note: the source listing describes this as a two-character set focused on a Shiba Inu and a pig, but the box art and finished-figure photo actually show four designs - the description above reflects the full set shown in the image.

Why this kit: four festive character designs are felted from one box rather than the two the title suggests, giving extra variety for the price; each figure is a stand-alone project that can be finished on its own timeline; the swing and ornament-base styling makes the finished pieces easy to hang as tree decorations.

Kit includes: pre-colored wool roving for all four designs, felting needles, a foam mat, and illustrated instructions. Dimensions: 3.54 x 1.96 in.

Small tufts of wool roving are layered and repeatedly poked with a barbed felting needle, tangling the fibers together so they gradually compact and shape into a firm 3D form. Each figure is worked in sections - head, costume, body, and base - following the illustrated instructions in the kit.

A rewarding project for animal lovers building a Christmas display, this set makes a charming handmade gift or a collection of hanging ornaments for the tree.
