**FAQ**
1. What is needle felting?
Felting is one of the oldest fiber crafts, it is a process to create an object made with wool fibers. There are two types- one is dry (needle) felting and the other one is wet felting. This video shows the creations I made with dry felting, this process uses a special barbed needle to create friction between the fibers when you use the needle to poke them up and down. This allows the fibers to tangle together and creates a volume. There is no rule to needle felting, however safety is very important and always watch what you are doing.
2. Which needle did you use?
I used a size 38 star needle.

@@naturekitkat4079 Loads, I received this last week, it comes with 3 needles in a little plastic bag, then about 8 already in a large needle holder and then about 20 in another bag for replacements
My mom got this for me it’s great
How much does it costs n how can I get it?
@@Woodpeckerslol glad you like it!
@@nikitaganga9737 You can click on this link here: amzn.to/2UxFDww and its about $25 USD
"Hey how did you make that?"
"I stabbed the shit out of it"
Lmao
+aurablaze If it didn't need good control it'd probably be the best stress reliever.
😂
This made me laugh so hard when people ask about my needle felt this is what I'll say
😂👌
well can’t wait to do this for a week, say in passionate about it, never gonna stop, gonna turn it into a career then forget it even exists.
GIRL... We are thinking of the same thing huh? XD
Hey sis, don’t call me out like this
@@victoriahunter1760 LITERALLY I FORGOT AB THIS LMAO i always do that
@@delena4evertvd267 I am dead😂
About to go buy all the stuff so I can make a single moth then never touch it for 3 years
I felt glad when you said,"the process is not about speed."
I always take at least 2-3 days just to make something w/ needle Felting! ^^;
Hahaha, “felt”
🤣😂
@@meghmollar2670 they are talking bout other peices not just a heart and even this prolly wont take only 5 mins
I'd set the record for puncture wounds in 15 minutes doing this.
Finger tips would look like swiss cheese.
Charles Reed 💀
i tried it today and have gotten so many puncture wounds lol
My kit came with cow hide finger protectors. I could hold the felt right in my hand and poke as many holes as I want and no wounds.
I poked myself the very first time I took a stab at the wool. :D
I admire anyone who has this hobby. I wouldn't have the patience, lol.
Well it takes time but it’s worth it
It's actually pretty therapeutic .stab the wool and then you have a thingy .it's very fun
I started it this week to aid in the anxiety disorder f going back to work in the middle of the f a pandemic (I’m a server) and it really helps. Just try it! I got some basic stuff from hobby lobby to see if I like it first
@@catsarefun9041 can you only use like- natural wool or can you do this using synthetic wool as well?
I only just got it and I am looking for a correct tutorial...
In fact, I've already found it.
That light pink is such a *heartfelt* color!
See what I did there?
I’ll go home
Dont worry I got you:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I CANT BREATHHH
Sonia Khaled thank u😤
wot
😂😂
Good. Close the door on the way out.
Am I the only one who could see myself miserably failing at this?
s'all right bro, same here... we can all fail TOGETHER
SquidWafflez you're not alone
Nope, i can see myself failing miserably about 1,000 times before even starting to get it right
SquidWafflez all you have to do is poke wool
you’re not aloneeee
I'm supposed to be doing homework, and I'm here
SAME
Grace Stylinsion I'm supposed to be cleaning my room XD
Grace Stylinsion lol
SAME lol
peachiestbaabe oh no...
I wanted to learn what needle felting was and your video perfectly answered that question. I am not a crafty person, but watching this makes me want to give it a go!
Your video is very well done, NICE JOB! :)
Thank you so much
I just got into needle felting, and I had no idea that there were specific needles for this. Thank you for the neat tips as well! 💖💖💖
Same😂
When my friend talked about how she was needle felting it sounded like a really mystical process. Now I know it consists of poking wool a bunch I think I've discovered a more cathartic version of knitting.
Is that right? XD
yes, when I first started it took me hours to make some stuff... but if you know what you are doing it should be faster.
I’ve been binge watching felting videos today and I like this one for the details not in other videos. Simplicity is lovely 💗
Thank you sooooo much for this wonderful and beneficial video. You know how to make a video and it helped me a lot. I especially like that you played calm music which enhanced, not distracted me from learning. Also, you captioned the video as you worked each step (close range) from start to finish. I especially like the fact that you showed the needle varieties up close because other tutorial videos never show what a needle looks like nor the varieties available. THANK YOU!

Sure, that's totally up to you. I find needle felting soothing and fun, no trouble at all! I can create whatever I want with the needle, it's more flexible than knitting. It is labour-intense, but that's what makes it special from other fiber arts, and you'll feel a great sense of self-accomplishment when you finish a great piece of work!
Was this supposed to be replying to something?
Thank you so much for this simple, pretty, enjoyable introduction. A lot of the other videos were just more information than I was looking for.
my kit came today and I'm so excited
got it from amazon for £9 with 36 wools and a bunch of needles and other things
Good question! This heart took me around 15 mins to make
What size cookie cutter was this?
Ahh I just tried it and I think I'm in love! I caught on pretty quickly. Just made a little ball to test and then I added little eyes and a smile. I think I'm going to have so much fun with this!
I’ve been looking for a fun craft to do and, though I’ve heard of felting, I’ve never thought to try until now. Thanks!
Thank you! Always wondered how this was done. Great demonstration showing that it takes time and patience.
Although I probably not try it I enjoyed your video
You explaination is exactly what a bigginer needs (sometimes when I want to try a new DIY project I just don't find all the information I need as a bigginer)
Well Done! Thanks!
I don't have any desire to do this myself, but I always wondered how this stuff is done, bc I keep seeing these amazing felted art pieces. now I know. thanks.
I had NO IDEA that this process took so long...I have a LOT more admiration for it after watching this, and I am miserably aware that I would start to make a little "Felt garland" and end up with one ball and wander off lol. Thanks for posting this, your work is beautiful!
I have come back to this video after almost a decade and yours is the one that introduced me to needle felting :') I remember being OBSESSED and dying to try it and not having the funds or knowing where to get good supplies for it at least back then. I have supplies in my many-craft inventory and it's a craft I keep returning to ^.^
Thanks so much for this. I've never felted wool before and all I needed to do, was to fix a leg that was falling off of an ornament that my husband gave me when we were dating, and I did. It was so easy!
I have that same Mini Heart cutter when I trimmed my Shih Tzu, I took some of the trimmed hair and needle felted it using the Heart. An adorable trinket kept in a pill tin.
Came across a book on this and wanted to see how it works. Thank you so much. Just enough info to give me an idea. This may be something I will try!
Thanks, I made a ton of these for my friends birthday and gave her some other things and she loved them!😊
This quickly changed my mind on this hobby. Wow that’s a lot of time for such a little piece.
Thank you for making this video! I was thinking about trying this craft and I wanted to see a basic start, to know if it looked possible for me, and also how much space is needed to do it (compared to, say knitting). I think I should definitely give it a go, it looks like I could even do it at my computer desk.
Lorraine: Wow! That was really neat! I can even appreciate more now what I see in the beautiful pictures I've seen for needle felting. A timely but beautiful art! Anything really beautiful takes time. I certainly want to learn more so I've subscribed to your channel. Thank you so much!
i really admire people who do this they have a lots of patience and the risk of poking yourself with a needle is high salute to all of you
I was looking for a brief simple explanation of what fellting is and I found it! Thank you!

CZcams recommended me this...after 10 years!!🙂
fyi...i bght my felt kit and other felt colors at Diaso..$1.50! great for beginners!
Wow, thanks for sharing. They have a lot of really cute colour packs.
Hi Zuzy,
From where you get this kit...can I get it on online? Please provide me the site.
Thank you
Omg I just did that today and I was just scrolling along in the comments and found the exact same thing I did XD
@Eating food is wow It's a store that sells cheap Japanese products!
Wait, they have felt kit in Daiso? I've never seen them o.o
Avoid using your fingers to hold the felt down (cookie cutter too):
◉ I use a small spare needle to pin the felt to the foam, and thanks to
the barbs the felt can be turned and manipulated easily... no fingers
near the working needle.
- - You'll likely be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to avoid
the holding needle, even with the multiple needle tool.
◉ For cookie cutters, just use more spare needles and take advantage of
the bent end to use as hold downs.
⊛ Flip and move your project around (often), saving the smallest working
needle for the end & detail work
(fine lines, mouths, trim, veins, etc)
⊛ Work shallow, when finishing, unless you really want to recess detail.
Recessing an iris or mouth line can add surprising dimension.
This is so easy to understand and follow, thank you!
Finally found a decent hobby to try! Ty for the tutorial!! ^^
great tutorial!! i just started felting... im so hooked! thx!
zuzy69 good for you if you just started the more you do the dinner it gets get ready for some fun
Thanks so much I’ve looked a felting for a bit and I like it
Great vid! I watched this vid alot when i was just a beginner at needlefelting, and kept constantly poking myself
+Dahn Kim Get the leather finger protectors. They are awesome when working with tiny detail work.
Nicely done video! Thank you kindly! ❤️
This made me want to attempt this craft. Thank you!
I think I just found my new hobby!
Lmao I was listening to a different song and as soon as the felting went to super speed, so did the song
I love this! Ive been wanting to try needle felting and this just motivated me! thank you!
Oh my! I searched for "cotton filling art" and i found it! Thank you!!!
this will so help me! after I get the stuff of course!😊🎀
What a great idea with the cookie cutter! Thank you!
I am so clumsy that I know i will poke myself a lot by doing this. You are great at it. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you I have been looking for what this is and I found it you helped so much
What a nice tutorial! Easy, instructive,
Hiya thanks soooooo much for doing this vid! It helped me alot! I have wanted to do this for ages but i didnt know what it was called. Thanks again xx
I have never seen this before, and it seems like it is everywhere all of a sudden! Awesomsauce
Thank you that was a great explanation of what felting is!
Thank you very much! I’m glad you found it helpful ☺️
Quick.sweet, to the point and awesome:) Thanks for this I learned a heck of a lot in4min and 20 seconds :)
im thinking of making wool dryer ball I looked on etsy & saw some really cool decorated ones that said they were needle felted so checking in to how I could make them that way.
Omg the hearts were so cute to me idk why but I like this I did this before with my mom we love doing this
Nice straight forward video. Helpful. Thank you.
Cool I think I'll start wool felting!!
Lovely video! I just bought a daiso wool felting kit and I can't wait to try ^^
i’m hoping to get into needle felting soon, and this turorial is great!
also your nails look cool lol
wow, this video is very heartfelt
Great tutorial Lisa!
this was interesting but I was looking for something that would help me use the hair my dogs shed. There was a class here last year but I missed. But thanks for the basics when you have prepared fiber.
You probably know this now, but for anyone who reads this comment and wonders the same thing, you CAN use pet hair. A friend made a 'clone' of their pet that had passed away using the fur that was still on the floor. I heard that you can only use the under coat, and it's harder without blending with fibres.
God...my German shepherds could provide hair for the entire world for the rest of their lives lol
I am looking at this thinking it is a great way to use our pet bunny fur.
Wow, I am IMMEDIATELY in love with this craft.
Thank you for the informative video!! Sub'd!
Thanks for sharing 🌻
wonderful teaching . thanks
Thank you 😊 for sharing!!!! 2 cool
Thank you so much amazing tutorial❤
THIS IS SO AWESOME!! Omg This is my new hobby now :D
Thanks from Texas.
I am doing this too! It was cool.
Wool is a high priced material, but it depends on where you live and if the shop import them from somewhere. I live in New Zealand, it is really easy for me to get hold of the materials, so it's reasonably priced and we have a lot of wool manufacturers.
This was made 8 years ago but looks so modern!!
Thank you!!!!! This was so so SO helpful :)
I'm gonna try that!! Thx!
that was better explained then i thought it would be!
This is really awesome. You should dod more of these
Wow this is so simple!
You are so good at it!
Oh yay! Love this tutorial but I couldn't felt as good as you can! Haha Great Job ^_^
I don't care what anyone says, this is the most metal thing I've seen in crafting! That needle was moving so fast, I was afraid to look away. I would have to use some tool to hold the felt in place or else I would make painful mistake.
This is very soothing to watch 😅
