About

A strawberry cake, three candles, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY spelled out above it in five different colours. This one is built to be given away — it's the only kit in the series that says something out loud, and it doesn't melt, get eaten, or end up in a drawer.

It's also our most detailed frame. The lettering is eleven small pieces, the strawberries are individually shaped, and the sprinkles go on one at a time. That's why it takes longer than the others, and why people photograph it more.

All Materials Included

Frame board & backing
Premium imported wool (project palette)
Felting needles
Accessories

Skill Level

Intermediate

Size

Canvas: 5.9 × 5.9 in (15 × 15 cm) Framed: 7.1 × 7.1 in (18 × 18 cm) As a handmade piece, the exact look depends on how firmly you felt it.

Can I really learn needle felting from these kits?

Yes — every Joypok needle felting kit is built for complete beginners. You get pre-measured wool sorted by color, the right needles, and a step-by-step video that walks you through every poke, from the first one to your finished wool friend. No felting experience needed. Most people finish their first project in 2–4 hours.

Our Kind of Date Night

We usually end up scrolling on the couch, so we tried the penguin set. We made the frame together, then each made a little penguin the next Friday. He picked the apple and I did the sunflower. His apple hat is crooked, and that's our favorite part. They all live in front of the TV now.

A Little Time for Me

I'm a nurse and my brain doesn't shut off after a shift. I put my phone in the other room and just poked. It took me closer to 5 hours because I kept rewatching the face part, but I didn't care. First time in a while I did something just for me.

Made for My Sister

My sister is obsessed with bichons, so Birthday Bichon was an easy choice. I spent about 3 hours making it on a Saturday and rewatched the fluffy head part twice. I took a picture before wrapping it. She put it on her car keys that day. Now I kind of want one for myself.

After the Kids Fall Asleep

Mom of two under 5 here. I made this painter penguin over two nights after bedtime, packing the needles away each time. It took about 5 hours, mostly because of his tiny palette. His beret slouches to one side like a real artist. He sits on the top shelf now. My penguin, not theirs lol.

My Beginner Journey

My first kit was the Peace Dove frame. It took me most of a Sunday, and the little "PEACE AND LOVE" letters were the hardest part because the wool kept spreading out. Two weeks later I ordered Penguin Love and finished it in about half the time. The two penguins and the big heart were way more forgiving than tiny letters, and I think I finally figured out how deep to poke. Now they sit side by side on my desk, and I like seeing how much better the second one came out.

Crafting with Friends

My two roommates and I wanted something to do besides watching TV, so we got the three-dog set and each picked one. I took the bichon and regretted it for about an hour, because getting the fluffy head round took forever. The shiba was done first. The schnauzer ended up with very serious eyebrows, and now we call him the landlord. We lined them up on our shelf when we were done. We're already arguing about what set to do next.

FAQ

1. Are Joypok DIY kits beginner-friendly?

Yes — most of our customers had never tried needle felting before. Each kit comes with a QR code that opens a step-by-step video, and the wool is pre-portioned by color, so there's no guessing. If a shape doesn't look right, you just keep poking until it does.

2. How long does a project take?

Most kits take 2–4 hours. You don't have to finish in one sitting — many people do 45 minutes one evening and finish the next. The wool won't dry out or change while it waits.

3. Will I poke myself?

Felting needles are sharp — that's what makes them work — so every order comes with a free finger protector. Wear it on the hand holding the wool, poke slowly, and keep your fingers off the felting surface. Most people never poke themselves at all. Recommended for ages 14 and up, with an adult nearby for younger crafters.

4. When will my order arrive?

We ship within 1–3 business days, and most U.S. orders arrive within 10 business days of ordering. Exact delivery times vary by carrier and destination. Alaska, Hawaii, and other remote areas take longer. You'll get tracking by email when it ships.

5. How much is shipping?

Free on U.S. orders over $50. Under $50, shipping is $7.50. Rates for Alaska, Hawaii, and other remote areas are higher and are calculated at checkout.

6. Can I return a kit?

Yes. You're welcome to open the box and look through your kit. As long as the wool hasn't been felted, the needles haven't been used, and everything is complete and in its original packaging, you can request a return within 14 days of delivery. Return shipping is on you unless the item arrived damaged or wrong.

7. How can I make my felt piece smoother?

Keep felting gently but consistently until the surface feels firm and the fibers blend together. You can also add a thin outer layer of wool for a clean, soft finish. For more help, visit our Other Tutorials page.
