My Craft Philosophy
About The Felted Badger
Welcome to The Felted Badger – a charming corner of Devon where wool, fibre, and imagination unite.
Our journey began with The Fabulous Badger, a real wire-haired dachshund who inspired my very first needle-felted creation. Today, he serves as the muse for a delightful collection of handmade felted animals, keepsakes, and bespoke pet commissions, each crafted with love in my Devon studio.
As a passionate Fibre Artist, I create handmade treasures from raw wool, locally foraged driftwood, and natural flora and fauna that celebrate the beauty of animals, nature, and those special moments in life. From adorable needle felts and whimsical decorations to unique handmade cards and bespoke pet commissions, every piece is meticulously crafted in my studio.
My passion lies in capturing character and personality, whether it’s recreating a cherished pet as a heartfelt keepsake or designing a one-of-a-kind gift that brings joy. Each creation is lovingly made by hand, ensuring that no two pieces are ever the same.
Based in the picturesque Devon countryside, I draw inspiration from the stunning landscapes, wildlife, and stories that surround me.
The result? Beautiful, meaningful gifts designed to be treasured for years to come.
Because sometimes, the smallest handmade details can bring the biggest joy.

Testimonials
I cannot thank Kerry at The Felted Badger enough for creating such a beautiful felt replica of my beloved Saluki, Bonnie Bean, who I sadly lost in 2020. As a talented Fibre Artist, Kerry’s bespoke pet commissions showcase remarkable craftsmanship and attention to detail — she has perfectly captured Bonnie’s spirit, from her gentle expression to her graceful stance.
Having my ‘mini Bonnie’ sitting alongside her portrait brings me comfort and joy every single day. It feels as though a part of her is still here with me. This keepsake, a handmade felted animal, is something I will cherish forever. I am deeply grateful to Kerry for giving me such a special reminder of my faithful companion — it truly is a unique piece of art.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is needle felting? Needle felting is a craft that uses special barbed needles to sculpt wool fibres into solid shapes. Each piece is built up slowly by hand, allowing a Fibre Artist to create unique handmade animals, decorations, and keepsakes, each with its own character.
2. How do bespoke pet commissions work? If you’d like your pet recreated in wool, simply send me a few clear photographs showcasing their face, markings, and personality. We’ll agree on the size, style, and details before I begin. I’ll keep you updated as your bespoke pet commission takes shape.
3. How long does a custom commission take? Depending on my order book, bespoke pieces usually take 3–6 weeks to complete. Smaller ready-made items, including handmade felted animals, are available sooner. If you need something for a special date, please let me know when ordering.
4. Do the felted animals look exactly like my pet? Each commission is handmade and designed to capture your pet’s spirit and likeness, rather than being a photographic copy. Every piece is unique, showcasing its own handmade charm.
5. What materials do you use? I use high-quality natural wool fibres, sometimes blended with silk or alpaca for added texture. Where possible, I source wool from UK suppliers.
6. How much does a bespoke pet commission cost? Prices depend on size and complexity. Small decorations start from £10.00, while detailed bespoke pet commissions are priced on consultation based on size, breed, and detail. I will confirm a quote once we’ve discussed your requirements.
7. How do I care for my felted treasure? Keep your felted piece away from direct sunlight, dampness, and pets (dogs love wool a little too much!). Dust lightly with a soft brush if needed. These are keepsakes and not toys, so please handle with care.
8. Do you ship internationally? Yes – I ship within the UK and worldwide. Delivery costs and times vary depending on your location.
9. Can I request gift wrapping or a message? Absolutely. I can wrap your order beautifully in eco-friendly packaging and include a handwritten note if it’s a gift.
10. Do you make other custom items? Yes – along with bespoke pet commissions, I create felted animals, seasonal decorations, and unique handmade cards. If you have an idea, just get in touch and we can discuss it.
