Using soft wool fibres and a specialist felting needle, you’ll learn how to transform loose wool into colourful designs and create your own unique Christmas baubles to treasure or gift during this welcoming felting class. You’ll make two handmade decorations to take home: one larger 10 cm bauble and one smaller 9 cm bauble.
Led by Steph, founder of Stephettie Creates, this beginner-friendly workshop is all about getting creative, experimenting with colour and texture, and enjoying the satisfaction of making something by hand. No previous experience is needed, so you can feel comfortable discovering how to felt at your own pace.
You’ll start by learning a few simple needle-felting techniques, including how to layer, shape, and blend wool to bring your designs to life. Steph will guide you through creating a charming festive robin, showing you how to build up the shape, add colour and details, and give your creation its own personality.
Once you’ve mastered the basics, you’re free to get creative with this enjoyable activity. You might make:
  • A traditional robin
  • A cheerful Christmas pudding
  • A gingerbread character
  • Something completely different from your own imagination
Your designs can complement each other beautifully or be entirely different – it’s up to you. All materials, tools, and step-by-step guidance are provided, so you can simply get comfortable and enjoy learning how to make something unique.
Needle felting is a wonderfully absorbing craft. As you work with the wool, you’ll find yourself slowing down, experimenting with textures, and watching your ideas take shape. It’s a chance to step away from the everyday, enjoy some creative time, and share a relaxed experience with friends or fellow makers.
You’ll leave feeling proud of what you’ve created, with your own handmade festive decorations ready to hang on your tree, display at home, or give as thoughtful, handmade Christmas gifts.

Stephettie was born from a lifelong love of creativity and connection. I’m Steph - founder, mosaic maker, and your friendly creative guide.
I’ve always believed in the magic of making things with your hands. Like many, I grew up watching Art Attack and covering every surface in glue and glitter. Years later, after more than a decade working in corporate team building, I realised how powerful creativity could be in helping people reconnect, slow down, and rediscover joy, and so Stephettie came to life.
Today, I run hands-on mosaic workshops that are mindful, meaningful, and sustainable. We use salvaged ceramics - old, broken crockery that might otherwise end up in landfill - to create something beautiful and new. Every piece is completely unique, and sometimes even includes a sentimental fragment of someone’s own story.
I love seeing how each person’s creativity unfolds - the “happy accidents, ” the perfect fits, and the proud smiles at the end when everything comes together. My workshops are relaxed, social spaces where people from all walks of life can create, chat, and unwind - whether it’s friends celebrating, hens crafting, or teams bonding.
A portion of every booking goes to Mind, the mental health charity, because I believe creativity and wellbeing go hand in hand.
Come join a Stephettie workshop - connect, create, and make something truly special.
