Chenille Pipe Cleaners for Armature in Needle Felting, toy making & other crafts
These chenille covered pipe cleaners are 30cm long and are a simple way to create a flexible armature when needle felting.
They can also be used for wrapping around wire to give grip when creating larger sculptures and can also be used on their own to make cute, tiny teds and other creatures. Pipe cleaners are made from wire covered in a chenille coating.
These pipe cleaners are available in packs of:
- 30 x black pipe cleaners
- 100 x black pipe cleaners
(we also stock different coloured pipe cleaners too).
The chenille coating on the wire helps the wool stay in place when wrapping it round to create a wire armatures.
We stock many needle felting publications that show how to create a wire armature (imagine the pipe cleaners being the skeleton of your creation!).
