My daughter who is nine and I found this video by accident. She never laughed so much watching a crafting video as she did with this one. She said its like a craft for serial killers. Epic video, strange craft, but a craft that has two new enthusiasts. Neither of us are serial killers I might add.

I remember felting as a teenager at school and I ended up with a chameleon that looked like it had been killed on the road (my family lovingly baptized it Roadkill). I had no idea about these common beginner mistakes I had made while felting. I wish my teacher had noticed and guided me more in the process. At least now I know what my mistakes were and I can try felting again!

I have just found you! I honestly feel that a link to your tutorials should be given with every beginners kit, every set of needles, and every ounce of wool purchased. I started needle felting eight months ago and you have taught me more in this eight minutes than I have learned in the whole eight months. Thank you so much Julie. I have decided that I am going to watch one video of yours each day and I am going to pass on the link to your tutorials to every beginner I come across. Needless to say, you have a new subscriber!

I made my first needle felted project at a workshop at a craft fair last week. I really enjoyed it so I bought a kit but when I sat down to make my little Robin I was really struggling to make the shape. This led my to KZread and this brilliant set of beginner videos which I’ve been binge watching and will probably watch several more time. Thanks to you my little Robin may actually be completed and not consigned to the back of a cupboard 🥰

Thank you for this, glad you found the timings helpful, but please bear in mind it is difficult to give a definitive length of time you should stab for as it does vary depending on lots of things 😊 hopefully the real time footage in the top right corner helps to see the speed I actually stab at and how felted the item becomes. Rolling the wool very tightly before you begin will also help reduce how long you need to stab for, happy felting 🙂

Thank you so much!! I wasn't planning to start drawing out stuff, but it helped so much! My second ever project is a little hamster I'm starting. Drawing it was brilliant, it raised so many questions - how big should it be? How big is the head versus the body? How wide should it be? Where are his cheeks the widest? Is he sitting or standing? How far apart do the eyes go? How far out does his nose stretch? What part of his body does the nose align with? It took me a little planning and drawing but I have a very good sketch now of a hampster and I'm certain my project will look much much better for the effort. Very valuable time spent.

No intro to what was in the kit or how to use it, she just started poking away. At the end, I said "What did I just watch?" Then your video came up and I watched it too.

Try not to worry about going wrong too much, it's a very forgiving craft. Say your making the body of the item in the kit, my advice would be to not to use all the wool that the kit gives you to make the body as you might need to add a bit more to correct the shaping. You might also find this video on correcting mistakes in needle felting helpful: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aqBtqcauodq9qso.html It shows that you can remove arms/legs/eyes and do them again but you can't take apart wool that has been felted very firmly, but you can add wool to it, but it's harder to take away, you'd have to cut it away with scissors 😊 thanks for the question and thanks for watching

@juliesfeltedfriends

Жыл бұрын

You could try using leather finger guards, you can buy them on Amazon, but other than that make sure your felting onto a mat, not holding the wool mid air and that you're not distracted, i.e. it's not something you can do while watching TV. If you're felting a very small piece of wool you can hold it with another felting needle. I'm working on a video at the moment that covers some of this. Hope these tips help, and helps you to not stab yourself, thanks for watching.

Aw thanks, this could be various things, try to pull the needle out in the same direction you go in, as they are very brittle and if you bend them even slightly they will break, or it could be that you're stabbing too hard, the needle doesn't have to go into the wool that far, only as far as the barbs. It also helps to work on a mat. Also cheap needles that aren't from a reputable supplier will break more easily, Heidifeathers are a good supplier of needles. Hope this helps 😊

Hi there, do you mean that the polystyrene mat that you're working on broke? Unfortunately polystyrene doesn't last very long and will break up after a while. If you don't want to buy a needle felting mat you could use a sponge, but this will also break up eventually. Also I'm afraid it does take a lot of stabbing, if you've made sure you've followed all the tips in this video it should firm up eventually, I.e. you're using decent needles, carded wool, rolled it tightly etc. you could try watching my video on when to stop stabbing to give you an idea of how long you need to stab for: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oYZhtM6Els-0ZNo.htmlsi=WSRtkAUstQqBsyXX.

🤣 yep he does look a bit like a chicken nugget, but don't let him hear you say that 😂 thanks for watching

I don’t get why the overall shape isn’t made from something like styrofoam to save tons of time and wool

Thanks for this, to be honest styrofoam or polystyrene isn't something I've experimented with much. It's heard mixed results, have you used styrofoam? Does the wool stick ok? One of the reasons I've not used it yet is I'd feel restricted by the shape, I haven't found any styrofoam the shape of the owl for example, I guess I could carve the foam, but then in the time it would take me to carve it I could have needle felted some core wool into the shape. I would be very interested to hear your experience of using foam as a base 😊

I have made that mistake many many times but I will only list my first one: The pancake turtle, Literally a flat turtle cuz I stabbed it it one area, but overall I highly recommend this hobby, for I find the stabbing very therapeutic.

Thanks for this, true, stabbing too much in one place can be a problem, but pancake turtle sounds like a super hero, he brings pancakes to anyone who needs cheering up 😁 or is that just me? 😊😂 I agree though it's a great hobby and very therapeutic. Thanks for watching and commenting

I think he sounds cute 😊

Does someone ever tried felting with a tattoo mashine? 😂

😂 in a way they have, but the needles in a tattoo machine wouldn't work, but there's a machine that you can buy that does all the stabbing for you, do you think I should get one to try it? Found one by googling "automatic needle felting machine"

Weird it all seems common sense 🤔
