Rita Van Tassel Felt Kits

Craft and design have always played key roles in Rita Van Tassel's life, from the time she received a Crayola Caddy for Christmas through her formal education at Nova Scotia College of Art & Design and subsequent years as an Art teacher. Understanding how others learn and wanting to encourage creativity and skill-building has been a common theme.

Confident Beginner

Recommended for ages 12 and up

Each kit envelope contains step-by-step photo illustrated instructions, paper pattern pieces, colour info care card, sheets of wool blend felt, pair of 7mm safety eyes, embroidery floss, needle and pins. 

Stuffing is not included as the finished piece is easy to stuff using scraps of felt or fabric cut into small bits, cotton balls as well as traditional stuffing. 

These pieces are perfect either as whimsical decorative pieces or to be used in gentle play. They are not recommended for small children.

Intermediate

Recommended for ages 12 and up. The techniques are simple but there is more stitching than in the other kits, and a few of the steps involve smaller pieces that require a bit of extra patience to assemble.
