Barn Owls are adorable creatures and fun to felt - but the feet can be tricky!
I will teach you everything you need to know to needle felt these barn owls. Including both easy and more difficult options for the feet, so there's no need to be intimidated by this project.
The course is broken up into step-by-step video tutorials and printable templates that will break down everything into easy steps that you can felt along with. You'll watch exactly how I felt barn owls from start to finish.
You can watch the videos at your own pace, pause, stop, replay any part of the videos, allowing you to master and perfect your felting technique.
Check out the supply list below if you want to collect what you need before you start. Or simply purchase a supply pack from my website that contains everything you need including my hand-dyed barn owl coloured wool.
Let's felt owls!!
Hi, I'm Nancy of nan.c designs
It’s been over 10 years since I quit work as a graphic designer and made fibre art my full time business. I teach workshops, and sell my fibre art at fairs and art shows. I sell felting kits and my hand-dyed felting wool at www.nancdesigns.ca.
I felt all the time and I am the author of the instructional and inspirational book Next Level Felting. I’m pretty busy making my art into a successful business but it keeps me out of trouble!
I feel blessed to be able to live a life full of art and creativity.
I'm so excited to be working with you on this course, and can't wait to see your barn owls being created.
Easy to follow videos
Twelve instructional videos break down the steps into sections so it's easy to felt along with me.
Multiple Options
Multiple options for the feet and armature are taught. So you can choose from easy to more difficult.
Supply Packs
Supply packs are available from the nan.c designs website. They contain all the hand-dyed wool, needles and wire you need to make it easy for you.
"I finally worked on the course and completed the owl! It is sooo cute!
The only thing I had difficulty with was bending the wire. I had to bend it with pliers and it was stubborn, wanting to return to its original bend. Otherwise it was a great course and well presented.
I really love your dialogue while you are demonstrating the felting. It is both helpful and soothing... like you are in the room with me!
I am looking forward to felting more owls.
A big thank you!"

"I thoroughly enjoyed the video tutorial.
The instructions were clear, demonstrated at a good pace, and easy to follow. I loved that I was able to 'felt along' with nan.c and particularly liked the sound of us needle felting in sync. It was kind of soothing.
I thought the multi video presentation was an excellent way to deliver the instructions. It was easy to pause the video, or return to the beginning, when I need a bit more time to complete a section.
I've taken a number of 'in person' classes and enjoy the social aspect of being in a group but, I have to say, I also enjoyed doing this video course as it felt like I was having 1:1 instruction. I would definitely take another on-line course from nan.c designs."

"It was such a pleasure to do your online course. I made one hedgehog with the help of both of my daughters, ages 8 and almost 6. We pretty much each took a turn with every step.
We will likely make more and try different fun colours. They are already talking about making miniature hedgehogs...
I found the course very well put together and easy to follow. I think our hedgehog turned out really cute and we are all pleased with the result. I think we will be purchasing more courses."
