New to needle felting? Our needle-felted rainbow mobile is a great project for beginners since there is a very small amount of needle felting involved. It also has a long shelf life since you can use it as a wall hanging too.

Just check out our tools and materials list below. Then follow along with our video tutorial.

Brighter days are ahead

If you missed our latest needle-felted project, we now have felting wool in our shop. And this needle-felted rainbow mobile gives us the perfect excuse to experiment with some of our new colors. You can find the colors we used linked below, or choose your own colors to craft with.

Since we are wrapping the roving wool around vine wire, there is no pattern to download. We will just be using different lengths of the vine wire and shaping it to form a rainbow that’s strung together with some cotton twine. You will see how simple this is to do in our video tutorial, but feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Overall, our needle-felted rainbow mobile is a very quick DIY craft and will probably take you less than an hour to make. We’d love to see your version so make sure to share photos with us!
