I tried Punch Needle and I LOVE it! I've been wanting to try this craft, but didn't know what size tool for which size yarn or cloth. So when I saw Kimberbell has released a brand-new line of Punch Needle Plus which is a complete punch needle project kit ... I knew this was my moment to try. It was like Kimberbell said to me, Hey, Melanie. We did all the work for you creating this kit so you can just create.
My tips for a first time Punch Needler
- Use a Kimberbell Punch Needle Plus Kit: available at Kimberbell.com or FatQuarterShop.com or MissouriQuiltCo.com
- Watch the step by step video tutorials available at Kimberbell YouTube
- Use a light board for tracing the pattern. I have an inexpensive one from Amazon (here)
- Make each punch about 1/4" .... for the green I made them super tiny and it used soooooo much yarn.
Snowflake Shimmer Kit Contents

The only item not in the kit is a pair of scissors, which most crafters have at least one pair at home :).
I used the Kimberbell 8" Pillow Insert or you could make your own. I also chose to add a zippered backing so I can reuse the pillow insert for different seasons! Pillow backing fabric is: Lori Holt Bee Plaids (here)
I absolutely loved making this punch needle project. It is so nice to have a portable craft as I can punch needle anywhere! My next project is Kimberbell Punch Needle Plus: Birdsong Bouquet.
