Review on Akak Store Needle Felting Starter Kit - Foam Pad+Needles+Scissors+Wooden Handle+Awl+Finger Stall+Glue Stick - Accessory Craft Set for Felting by Carla Anderson

(see review at the end) This kit is exactly what I needed! There are several needles of different sizes, but they are not marked. They all come in shamefully together. The handle makes it easy to hold the needle in your hand without tension and it is a very simple design. Finger protection is very important for my untrained hands. I didn't need them for the most part, but I didn't risk not wearing them the first few times. Then I had to hold something in my hand to give it the right shape and without it I would have stabbed myself several times. Now I have enough practice and I'm pretty sure I don't need it when working flat on a mat, but I still need them for 3D work. Pliers cut easily through sheets of felt and neatly trim off excess. I haven't had a chance to use an awl yet, but that's what I need for adding eyes or something. I really don't know why it comes with a glue stick. It appears to be the type used in hot glue guns, but if you've got the tool don't you already have glue? I know that. If you don't have a glue gun, what are you going to do with it? I think you could find another way to melt it down for use. Like a wax warmer. The foam pad will soften and become less firm the more you use it, making it more likely that you could puncture it. This is a thing which must be quickly replaced with a better seal. But for a start it works quite well. I have read,
