This is a beginners tutorial and perfect for teaching kids how to needle felt. The cookie cutter adds a little bit of extra protection for your fingers
I am a self taught felter and have been hobby felting for about 15 years now.
Hope you find this tutorial helpful. If you have any questions please commet and I will try to respond as quickly as humanly possible.

Fall is in the air and that means apples are everywhere. Today I am using tart Norwegian apples to make the queen of fall dessert, apple crisp or apple crumble, if that’s what you call it. It smells delicious baking and bubbling away in the oven. Scents of cinnamon, apple and brown sugar flood my kitchen. I am serving it with creamy vanilla ice cream. Hope you enjoy this fall recipe.

This is simple recipe and the results are always good. Hope you like it. Happy Easter! Here is the link to my Facebook group...T...

It has a total of 25 attractions. (4 roller coasters and 2 water rides.) Although it is a relatively small park,...

Dankeschön, so süß
Thanks! 😊
This is so beautiful! How long did it take in real time?
Thank you. 😊. I used maybe 3 hours.
So April is a good month?
It can be. On the coast like this, it’s the weather that really decides whether you see them or not. The months with lots of storms make it challenging. The weather tends to be more stable in April.
A great big thank you for your excellent tutorials. 😊
Thanks 😊
My sister ❤'s ladybugs! This is great!
I love squirrels. So anything to do with them is my style. I adore this!
They ARE super cute! Just like that! You could use all kinds of cookie cutters! Excellent idea!

Hello We reaching Bodo in march and thinking to catch ferry to moskenes, are ferries running that time of the month? And is it feasible to reach lofoten during march 1st week?
Love your work and I like just watching your process. One could put down your basics and add embellishments. I’m very mixed media so I see silk noil, embroidery, beads, crewel, and so on. Thanks for sharing.
I am so excited I found your tutorial. I have wanted to try this for a long time. You are a true artist!
Made this for my girlfriends birthday cause her favorite animals are polar bears and it turned out really cute, thank you :)
So happy it was helpful to you! 😊
Love it
Perfect for my grandson who is obsessed with polar bears! Thank you! 🥰
This morning I totally forgot I needed an ornament for a party I was going to, so since I had been following your videos, had already bought some premade "dryer balls." I was able to needle out an ornament for the gift exchange, thanks to your instruction! (Since I live in the desert, mine was different cactuses)
Love your teacup fairy house 😊
Thanks 😊
🎉 wow this is beautiful! We are coming to Bodo in Feb 24. We wont have a car and are only staying for 3 nights. Any tips for where we could go to get a good view? We havent booked anywhere to stay yet. Are there any taxis running at that time of year?
The Aurora are usually super active in February so as long as the weather cooperates you could have a good shot at seeing them. If they are strong you can see them pretty much anywhere. If you want to get away from light pollution to observe them better, there are lots of areas nearby for that. If you are looking for a hotel that is a bit more remote and on the outskirts of the city, then I can suggest Saltstraumen hotel. Less light pollution out there but nowhere near the city centre. Lots of great hotels in the city. Best of luck and welcome to Bodø. 😊
And taxis run year round but are incredibly expensive. Better to rely on public transport. 😊
@@TheHobbyBird super useful, thank you so much! Starting to get excited about it now. Your videos help! I will look into the Saltstrumen hotel, thank you. And at the busses/trains too! X
Hello I'm from Pakistan and there is a bodo also here Bodo is a beautiful village of Pakistan I am living in bodo Pakistan Nice to here that bodo is also in Norway
Thank you! Just what I was looking for to make small cat ornaments as Christmas gifts.
So why the different needles? Does it make the felting more felted as you go up ? I am having a brain fart- self taught! Thank you !
They higher the gauge the finer the needle…so you could start with a 36 to bring it together and work your way up to a 40 for smoothing.
