Book Review – Needle Felting Miniatures for Beginners

August 31, 2026 by Shellie Wilson

There’s something magical about making tiny things — and this book, Needle Felting Miniatures for Beginners by Clara V. Mossberry, captures that joy perfectly. Whether you’re brand new to felting or just looking for something lighthearted to make between bigger projects, this book is an absolute delight.

Clara walks you through 15 adorable miniature animals — from a baby bunny and chubby chick to a sweet little hedgehog that might just steal your heart. The instructions are clear, the photography is bright and helpful, and the projects are quick enough that you can finish one in an evening (which is dangerous, because you’ll want to make them all).

I love how approachable the tone is — it never assumes you already know everything, but it doesn’t talk down to you either. The little sculpting tips scattered throughout the book are especially useful, even if you’ve been felting for a while.

This is one of those books I wish existed when I first started. It’s fun, fast, and full of charm — the perfect way to fall in love with needle felting all over again.
