What a delightful gift for anytime of the year.  Use the colors you like and go to town. A needle felted Japanese Kanji Pin will make a big statement, whether you wear it on a sweater or attach it to a hat or purse. Kanji is the name for the symbolic characters in the Japanese writing system. Our model is wearing the character for fire. You can find more Kanji characters, and even custom translations, on the Internet. The pin takes very little time or materials and is an excellent project for learning the amazingly simple technique of needle felting. from Leisure Arts.
