Materials you will need:
1 Felting needle
1 thick sponge
1 handful of red "roving"
Black embroidery thread
1. Roll your red roving into a fist sized ball.
2. Place the ball on the sponge and begin poking the felting needle into the ball. The fibres will begin to felt together and it will hold tight after only a few minutes.
3. When you are happy with the size of your ladybug and satisfied that it will maintain it's shape, take the black embroidery thread and coil it into a tiny spiral, to make spots. Place this onto the red roving and begin poking into the black with your felting needle.
