Take care when handling needles, when not in use store them in a small tin or keep them safely embedded in your felting foam pad. To avoid needle breakage don&#8217;t bend the needle while felting. Try not to stab yourself.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>1. Start by covering your Styrofoam` egg with several thin layers of wool roving. If you are using a pre-felted egg blank and are happy with the base colour go straight to step 5.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-59798\" src=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/felt-eggs_6.jpg\" alt=\"Easter Craft - Needle felted Easter Eggs - mypoppet.com.au\" width=\"690\" height=\"552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/felt-eggs_6.jpg 690w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/felt-eggs_6-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/felt-eggs_6-600x480.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/felt-eggs_6-330x264.jpg 330w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/felt-eggs_6-575x460.jpg 575w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><br \/>\n2. Lay small pieces of wool roving over the surface of the egg and poke with felting needle as you go.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Tip:<\/strong> It&#8217;s best to criss-cross several thin layers to make an even coverage. The wool will felt to itself not the foam core so don&#8217;t stab too deeply or you risk breaking your needles.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-59797\" src=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/felt-eggs_5.jpg\" alt=\"Easter Craft - Needle felted Easter Eggs - mypoppet.com.au\" width=\"690\" height=\"552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/felt-eggs_5.jpg 690w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/felt-eggs_5-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/felt-eggs_5-600x480.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/felt-eggs_5-330x264.jpg 330w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/felt-eggs_5-575x460.jpg 575w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>3. Continue needling over the whole surface of the egg shape to secure the roving and smooth it down. The more you poke with your needle, the smoother with surface will become. Keep adding small fluffed up pieces of roving to cover any bare patches.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-59796\" src=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/felt-eggs_4.jpg\" alt=\"Easter Craft - Needle felted Easter Eggs - mypoppet.com.au\" width=\"690\" height=\"552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/felt-eggs_4.jpg 690w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/felt-eggs_4-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/felt-eggs_4-600x480.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/felt-eggs_4-330x264.jpg 330w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/felt-eggs_4-575x460.jpg 575w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>4.
