Feltlicious: Needle-Felted Treats to Make & Give

Feltilicious has a nice variety of different needle felting projects all in the food theme. Some of my favorites include the Root Beer Float, Pumpkin Pie, Macaron and Pop Tart. Each project has beautiful photo of the finished item and step by step color photos to guide you in making your own. This keeps it easy to understand and beautiful to look at. I also liked that it goes into shading your pieces, something I haven't really seen included in other needle felting books. Depending on what you are working on, this can have a really cool effect. I like when diagrams for actual sizing are included. It's nice to check your work and make sure size wise you are on the right track, however this doesn't hinder my ability to follow the instructions and complete the projects.If you have never needle felted before, there is a section on the front of the book that goes over tools you will need and how it is done. If you are still not quite sure, try looking up needle felting tutorials on youtube. There are many good ones, I recommend Maqaroon and Flying Mio in particular. Sometimes actually watching someone do it will click everything into place. It is a fun, relaxing craft, don't give up! It's very rewarding.

Ok. I’m not into felting food. I had read other reviews that lead me to purchase this book. There is so little stuff out there in regards to needle felting info! This book has WONDERFUL descriptions and helpful info that I would have loved to know when I started out. It’s a great book! I also opened it up and fell in love with a few of the projects so I will actually felt some food! My daughter requested some for her American girl doll as well! I totally recommend this book! If for nothing else the amazing general info and the highlighting technique info!

First of all the book is beautifully illustrated, designed and printed.....pure class! Kerri Wessel's felted food pieces are whimsical and masterfully done. The pieces often brought smiles to my face....they are choc full of personality. I found this book to be perfect for all levels of needle felting. Kerri and Kari provide the beginner with the info needed to get started yet describe techniques like working highlights into your piece which will help the advanced felter achieve a more realistic and natural finished piece. An excellent resource and a delight to add to your bookshelf.

Note that these are needle felted items! The directions are clear & easy to follow. Great ideas!

Lovely food designs and a great way to learn highlighting. Kari's highlights on the food are absolutely amazing and that's the main reason I purchased this book. Step by step instructions are included for basic food shapes (cones, spheres, tubes, etc.), and then she moves on to fine tuning your food and ends with highlighting instructions. Also has great felting supply sources in the back of the book.

Just learning this wonderful textile art of felting. Was very pleased with this book. Great photos and instructions!

One of the best craft books I have ever seen. Came in a timely manner, and was as described. This is probably the most useful basic needle felting book I have come across.

I've bought several wool felting books for my sister who is amazing at felting animals, so I thought she might like to venture out and create some felt food fuzzies. I loved the whimsy and amazing detail of the pieces, and the instructions were well done. My sister loves it.

I had only just recently got into felting when I decided to buy this book and give some of the ideas a go.The instructions are very easy to follow and the results are great, it even shows you in the back of the book some ideas of how to give your felted food a use by adding magnets, ball bearings to make a paper weight or to use as hair clips/ bands for children. It clearly shows the technique to get the basic shapes as well which can be applied to other felted projects.I would highly recommend this book for any beginner to needle felting.

Just starting with needle felting, this book was great for ideas.

Really fun needle felting book, lots of photos, tips and advice. The projects are really cute and fun. Even if you are not excited about felting food this book teaches you shapes and blending.

My fault for not spotting this is a 'proper' felting technique. The projects are excellent though. One day I will learn how to make these delicious looking foods.

Looks good, plenty to choose from, as small but easy to do, they are for wet or needle felting so I hope i can adapt it to useing my felting machine. Will give it a good go. looking forward to starting.
