Russet, the needle felted bear
A beary special craft for both children and adults to make this summer holiday.
YOU WILL NEED • 1 x 25gm ball of brown needle felting wool (or any colour you prefer)
• Small amount of white and black wool
• Needle felting needle (adults’ or children’s available)
• Foam pad • Ribbon * All supplies available from Craft Corner
METHOD PLEASE NOTE: Each time you needle felt a piece for your bear, you will first need to separate the wool fibres by gently pulling apart and assembling into a pile on your foam mat; this makes the wool easier to felt and gives a better finish. The felting needle is barbed and very sharp, please make sure you keep your fingers well out of the way and always turn your work and not your needle. HEAD
Taking a handful of wool, prepare as above then roll into a ball between your hands. Place on your mat and, using your needle upright, start stabbing your wool making sure the needle goes through the wool and into the foam.
Continue stabbing and turning your
work until it resembles a ball and feels firm when squeezed. You will need to lift your work off occasionally to stop it felting into your mat. BODY
Start with a ball twice the size of the head and prepare and felt as above. To attach the head to the body, place the two together and felt with your needle, stabbing around the base of the head and through into the body. Take a small amount of wool and place around the neck and felt in place to strengthen the join. MUZZLE
Use about a 10p amount of wool and shape into an oval. Felt a tiny ball of black for the nose
and create the mouth with a few strands of wool. EYES
Make two small white balls on your mat then position on the bear and felt in place. Use a tiny amount of black for the pupils. ARMS
Separate your wool into two pieces of equal size. Roll into a sausage shape and felt on your mat. Hold against the bear and felt in place. LEGS
As arms but slightly longer. To make the feet, bend up at the bottom and felt in the crease. Attach to your bear.
Decorate with a bow and your bear is now complete.
Happy Crafting!

Community based, the pool is privately owned by Babs Wilding, a swim instructor for 20 years who has taught all ages and abilities. Along with providing a place for families to enjoy time together, Babs also offers premium lessons in a safe and structured environment.

By becoming confident in the water and learning the correct way to float unaided, School of Swimming help their students from the very first toe- dip right up to advanced techniques for competitive swimming. Using repetitive methods plus positive praise and rewards, Babs is confident she can teach anyone to swim by just 12 sessions, working towards five metres on front and back.
