Each of the proceeding videos includes step by step instructions that walk you through forming and attaching elf figures to the background in two techniques: directly onto the background in a 2D style and free standing as an attached 3D figure. I am working on a group of elves who will be in the children’s book currently underway. Thanks to our community of needle felting artists, the lessons include just a bit of light banter that captures where we are in our lives at this point in time. This lesson was recorded on August 17, 2021.
