Needle Felted creations by Kay Petal
Felt Alive needle felted dolls are each hand-sculpted from fluffy wool batting using our Felt Alive Felting Needles.
With no sewing, no stuffing, no wire armatures and no paint; just needle felted wool. Even their eyes, teeth, clothing, hair and (most of) their accessories are needle felted.
Felt Alive needle felted dolls stand, flex and bend nearly like they are alive!
I Felt the Stars
Celebrity Caricature Needle Felted Dolls
One of the things that has made needle felting so enjoyable for me is discovering I have a hidden talent for caricature art! It’s been a blast bringing famous characters to life in needle felted wool. Take a leisurely stroll through my dolls in this gallery and visit our Blog to peek into the star-studded Felt Alive cast and their zany adventures.
Original Felt Alive Creations
When not making my little doppelganger needle felted dolls, often times when I sit down at my felting pad I have no idea what I’m creating. Other times I think I know what I want to create. More often, the wool decides. Allowing the wool to become who or what it wants to be will bring so many fun surprises. See more on our Blog
Custom Caricature Needle Felted Dolls
Making needle felted dolls look like a real person is certainly a challenge. A well known character is easier for me. Working with my clients to bring their friends, family and even themselves to life in wool is an extra-fun challenge. See more on our Blog

I have never seen such clever work in needle felting!!! They are all nothing less than amazing !!!
Beautiful, whimsical and spot on in their physical looks.
I am in love with this craft. You are the first one I found when trying to find a craft to relax me (per doctors order). I just started and I’m so excited to learn from your videos. I just made my first one of the finger puppets. I can use them (when I make more) in my Sunday school class for the preschoolers while teaching in a fun way. You truly are an inspiration and I am ready to dig in this deeper. It’s so addictive! Thank you for sharing your talent! Michelle Wyatt
Thank You Michelle!
