Needle felting presents several challenges. Repeatedly stabbing the wool to shape it makes it difficult to create precise geometric forms like squares or rectangles with right angles, though circular shapes are comparatively easier to achieve. Another challenge arose with the strap portion. Since felting works by binding fibers together, the wool strands from one side often poke through to the other side. This becomes problematic when using different colors, as the contrasting fibers showing through can disrupt the intended design.
