To answer your question Susi, needle felting is a dry method of felting using a special barbed needle for the job. It works because the yarn fibres become tangled into the other fibres near by. I bought my needles from a craft shop and they are made by Clover. You Tube have lots of videos to show how it's done. Looking forward to seeing your hat when it is finished.<br />
Kind Regards<br />

<p>Use fossshape to make the leaves and paint them with acrylic paint! Great thing about Foss shape is that with hairdryer or steam it will make any shape you want!</p>

<p>Hello Evelyne, </p>
<p>Thank you so much for your reply and the ideas! I really appreciate it. I´m using Fur felt and have stitched veining on it before. It looked very sweet but is not what I´m looking for for this particular hat ;) However, I´m interested in what you mean by</p>
<p><span>"needle felt a line of a lighter shade of green yarn to represent the leaf vanes"</span></p>
<p><span> (I´m German and have a little problem understand this part ;))</span></p>

Hello Susi,what kind of felt are you using,wool or fur felt? If it is wool may be you could needle felt a line of a lighter shade of green yarn to represent the leaf vanes or for fur felt have you considered machine stitching the vanes in buttonhole thread( this does work best if you put it in the bobbin and work from the back). This would work on the wool felt too. Just a few ideas that might help. Kind regards Evelyne.
