  Step 1

  read my felting guide first
  (once they approve the publishing)
  <br>
  so step one:
  get cho shizz togetha!

• 

  Step 2

  okay well you should kinda know what your doing if you've read my felting how-to
  <br>
  now just figure out what shape/object you want your brooch to be =]
  <br>
  usually i just look through mags, comic books, or just make things that i saw at a store
  or just start making a random colorful abstract shape
  it doesnt have to be perfect or make any sense

• 

  Step 3

  once youve found your inspiration
  make it!
  <br>
  the smaller and stiffer the better
  lol
  <br>
  and you can always sew beads into it, add glitter, threads, whatever
  be imaginative!

• 

  Step 4

  finally just add the brooch backing by sewing it on the back of your little creation
  <br>
  or just use a safety pin to stick it to things
  :D

  <br>
  <- made these for my sister

until it breaks i guess haha

Do you use styrofoam? I use a soft squishy foam like you would use for stuffing coaches or something. How long do your needles last? Does the styrofoam shed as you work with it? Sorry..not a lot of felters around for me to ask questions!

Yay! Needle felting is awesome. Seems like everyone is "just learning"
