Make your own needle felted nest pin or magnet.  These are one of the best sellers in my shop and make great small gifts.


Supplies you will need:

* Small amount of brown wool (or other desired color)
* One felting needle (I prefer medium star)
* Three pearls or egg-shaped beads 5-7mm (you could use other beads, of course)
* Beading needle – very thin
* Thread to match your wool
* Tie Tack, bar pin or small magnet
* Foam to felt on
