- In this tutorial I show you how I needle felt rodent feet from just wool and wire, no glue or wax needed! I demonstrate 3 teeny feet - guinea pig, rat and mouse! which one will you choose to make first?
Needle felting feet that are detailed and realistic doesn't need to be hard. You too can make some feet for your needle felted animals. it just takes a bit of patience and practice :-)
I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for watching!

Wonderful tutorial, thank you for sharing your technique and tips :)
No problem. Glad you are finding them useful 😊
This is a great tutorial!! Thank you!
No problem. Glad you find it useful. 😊
Ive watched several tutorials on mice feet and havent been impressed until now. These are absolutely the BEST!! 😍🐾
Aw you are so very kind. Thank you. So glad you liked the video 😘
Hi , I’ve recently discovered your tutorials on CZcams 😊. I am a novice needle felter and have been enjoying this craft since May this year and am now addicted😂🤣. Already I have learnt so much from watching you teach, Thankyou so much and I look forward to watching many more tutorials from you. 💐
That's wonderful to hear. Thank you Valerie. I'm glad my videos have been helpful on your felting journey so far 😊 it's a great art form isn't it. What's your favourite make so far?
@@FittobeLovedFelts I’m excited about many but I’ve made some mice that I’m quite proud of and a fox but not a realistic one. At present I’m finishing 24 individual Christmas characters such as gnomes, mice, robins, owls etc. to put with a chocolate or candy cane for an advent treasure hunt for our five year old grandson who is coming from Australia with our daughter and son in law for six weeks, arriving on the 29th just in time to begin advent😊🥰. They are simple and cartoonish but great fun. Thank you for asking x
@@valeriecoulthard4776 wow that sounds amazing - not just what you are creating but your family coming too! I hope you have a wonderful blessed time together ❤️
Incredible-what a Brilliant idea-much gratitude for sharing
No problem. I'm glad you liked it 😊
Thank you! I’m needle felting 2 guinea pigs for my friend’s birthday and they’re very realistic aside from their feet. Came across your video and I’m frantically making new feet using your tutorial. Fingers crossed i have them done and attached by tmw 😅
So pleased the tutorial helped. How did they turn out?
How do you attach them so they don’t wobble or fall off ?
Thank your for sharing!
Thanks for watching 😊
i love sweet little ratty feet!thanks for sharing💖
Aw me too. Thanks for watching 😊
Thank You,❤️👏
No problem. Thanks for watching 🙂
These are very cute & you make it look so easy! I can't help but wonder how you attach these to your animals with no "connection" wire left where you cut the extra off.
Thank you so much. I attach by adding more wool and build up the ankle the same way as you would with any non wire felted foot or body part 😊
@Fit to be Loved do u have a tutorial on mice? I'd love to see ur version from start (armature) to finish. Recently found ur channel and loving all the tutorials. ❤
Thank you so much 😁👌🏻👍x
Thanks for watching 😊
Please could you say what lengths you cut the wire for the mouse toes? I’ve played the video several times but can’t find them. Thank you.
Hi Patricia, thanks so much for watching. With the toes sorry I didn't really give dimensions as it was more to show technique and I know some people will be making various sized feet for their rodents depending on size of rodent. I would think the longest pieces (which end up being part toe and part foot once wrapped) were about 4cm.
Thank you so much for such a quick response. That gives me a good starting point. I am fairly new to needle felting and I really appreciate this tutorial.
@@archiesmum526 no problem. I hope you have fun felting. 😊
