I wanna try needle felting now
The joke about the neurologist as Evan poked holes for the eye pins was pretty crass 😵 (I *know* that that was done to patients but )talking about it in this way is contemtptuous
i got a idea for the next needle velting vid i thin you should velt a famose painting
i miss spelt alot
I’d meant to get some calk “Words are hard” merch but by the time I remembered between videos, it was was gone…
Ok but E&K's ability to not swear when they stab themselves with felting needles is a testament to their wholesomeness 🐱
You use the wool laundry balls instead of dryer sheets. Like dryer sheets, they speed up the drying time, reduce static, and help soften a bit. They are also far friendlier to the environment.
Exactly what I came down here to say.
I used to use dryer sheets but then switched to wool laundry balls and haven't gone back. I just love how my clothes feel with the wool balls. Also a little tip, you can put natural oils on the wool dryer balls and it will make your clothes smell soooo good.
So what does it mean if I still have a lot static in my clothes even usign wool balls?
aha!
@@craftedbyalison6592 I've found that the wool dryer balls work best in the summer. Winter gives too much static for them to handle, and dryer sheets do a better job.
Katelyn's cheeky icepick lobotomy reference had me cackling. You two (three including Joob!) bring me such joy.
Same lol
The needles do break after a while. They get stabbing fatigue I guess. Totally to be expected, don't worry. (Also, those thicc dense balls probably added to the strain.) Also, your creations are heckin' adorable! The catcus is just the spitting image of its big brother and the catstronaut is so sparkly!
while that is true, if you look at the video it's clearly due to the way they were stabbing
Thank you!!
They don't break after a while but they do become dull with proper use. Improperly stabbing the wool or hitting a wire armature is what causes breaks.
They also don't seem to know of or have any different needle types or gauges at all. If they were to do some research they could make needle felting much faster and they wouldn't need to use the dryer balls at all.
No shade to E & K though. Just stating the facts so they or anyone who sees this can learn.
💙
'stabbing fatigue' is a beautiful phrase that I will be sure to use in the future. Thanks!
Omg there was an ad and I forgot what video I clicked on and the first thing I saw was the first two sentences of your comment. Out of context that sounded terrifying. My heart skipped a beat.
I work at a veterinary clinic, and little versions of those felt balls come out of the laundry dryer every day. I wasn't aware it was crafting supplies. 😂
nobody's talking about the sneeze at 16:06?! that was totally a human sneeze - who sneezed?! ....but I always appreciate a pet cameo...
not sure if this was mentioned by someone else, but there are actually leather finger covers you can get to protect yourself from the needles!! I saw Rachel Maksy's needle felting video! While it may feel a bit more clumsy, it would help a lot from getting pricked too much.
we tried them but they were a little cumbersome - we'll live with the stabs haha
I think the dryer balls also help separate clothes while spinning which helps reduce dry time by increasing air circulation between the layers of clothes
Fun fact: if you need really thin lines, you can unravel some yarn and use one of the threads from it to get a really consistent and thin line. I had to use this when making Calcifer (the fire from Howl’s Moving Castle), since his eyes didn’t look quite right without an outline.
When Evan was putting the green on it I literally said out loud “Looks like a comb over” and sure enough he said it right after. That’s why I love this channel 😂
A bit later the same thing happened to me when I said "it looks like a penguin!" And he said it right after
Those little yellow eyes peeking out broke me. I made my husband come back and rewatch that part with me (he got up after the final reveal to grab a drink). Those are just the cutest creations EVA!!!
Edit: Just realized that we were using my husband's account to cast this time and I commented under his name. He's going to be so confused. 😂😂
Dryer balls reduce static. You can also use white vinegar instead of fabric softener and it works better without leaving a film on the clothes
You guys should make a resin toilet seat with BEANS inside!
Very cursed but great idea
"hey you okay you've *bean* in there for a while"
And a felt cutting board would be awesome too!
Love it. It totally fits their energy xD
@@M1ckyMack thanks
You guys should do bob ross needle felting please that would be so cute and I loveeeeeeee your videos sooooooo much
I would love to see a Pancake art attempt. Revisit cooking with Evan and Katelyn!
Omg Chefan and Cookelyn 😂
The editing on this was top notch, I really enjoyed all the add ins.
I loved these 😻
If there's anything I'd suggest doing different in the future, it's considering the order of operations. For example, if you started with the opening of the felt catcus and then did the outer base layer of green, you could create a 3D effect to further sell the idea that the black is "inside" the catcus. And the same with the astronaut helmet. Of course, you could still add more wool to do the same thing, but you'd save yourselves time, effort and material that way.
That said, if you improvise and don't have a clear idea of exactly what you want to make, it's not so easy to plan ahead, of course. 😋
You mention it's like painting. And there is those who make "paintings" by poking felt into canvasses. You should definitely try it!
The little eyes shining from the black of the Catcus was SUCH a good addition
I’ve been waiting for this edit for so long
You’ve gotten paid for underwater basket weaving. So officially you’re profesional underwater basket weavers
You should do a Bob Ross tutorial with needle felting!
I love that their personalities are
Cat owners, chaos, crafting, laser cutter, and their love for each other.
Ah yes, the most violent but calming activity that does not cause harm. (to anyone else- mostly you just stabbing your fingers)
So true 😂
I've been waiting for the short version of this live!! :D so happy that it's finally here !!
I was literally so confused, like didn’t I watch this for 2 and a half hours weeks ago
i am SO HAPPY to see more needle felt content from you guys, agh i love it so so so much!!!!!!!!!!
These both turned out amazing! So cute
Finally a video ❤
I can't live without your videos ❤❤❤
Ah yes, the classic "stabbed it wrong and the needle broke". Or I don't know how common it is really, I used to needle felt as a kid and our needles would always break every now and then.
I love how they're so good at everything they try! I'm waiting to see Evan and Katelyn try crochet and knitting.
I’ve been seeing this add for resin shower walls it looks gorgeous and I just want to see y’all try it
Hi Evan and Katelyn, you guys are cool. Thank you for making me smile
I LOVE the editing! This is so funny! Thanks for showing us great crafts and making us laugh!
You guys should make a catio for joob to use in the winter kind of like insulated to keep her warm
The editing in this is great (as always)
Love the felting looks like lots of fun.😂😂😂 you guys are having so much fun…❤❤❤❤
Evan and Katelyn should needle felt portraits of eachother on the laudrie ball or mini versions of themselfs so mini superviser has a mini family
You should use these as ornaments for Christmas!!!
I’m so excited to watch this!
I love watching you guys! You’re so fun!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
This looks so good! The cat eyes in the catcus is such a nice toutch! 😊
I laughed at the "in the other streaming room" repeating bit
One of the Crafters kits was felted pumpkins and I really liked doing them; I need to find more things to make 😊
This is amazing. One second of your videos makes a viewer live an hour longer.
I love using them in the dryer. It helps reduce static but also helps stuff move around more and makes them dry a bit faster
When you said "so, where should I do the eyes baby?" It was so sweet🥰🫶🏻 you guys are my favorite couple
Just got my Words Are Hard shirt and I'm wearing it while watching this!
Your videos are the only ones I don’t fast forward through the sponsor ads lol… You are awesome at making them entertaining lol
Have you seen the leather finger protectors for needle felting? I use them when I needle felt and they stop any stabbings very well.
Love those feltings videos❤
Love the pantone squares!
12:32 evan's cactus has the fire elmo energy 😂 it is beautiful
Would love to see the best of cursed builds play list , since finding your channel I am always soooo looking forward to your next video , keep up the great work guys, 👍👍
You guys should try wet felting, its very fun too
That sounds like a sensory nightmare 😭
Your editing is so on point 😂
love watching your vids!
Even and Katelyn you both are amazing and creative I was wondering if you could try to needle felt each other’s faces this is just a suggestion
This looks very fun
i love evens derpy lil cat so much
I watched this live I laughed so hard!🤣
Thank you, I tried watching the two hour stream thingy, but for a whole week, I haven't been able to finish it. This is much easier/ better. 😅
You guys are my happy place ❤
Thanks.
The wool balls are supposed to replace dryer sheets. You can even use essential oils to make them smell nice.
Cutting down on drying time is also a perk :)
My family uses laundry balls, pretty sure they help collect lint! I saw another comment saying that they help separate the clothes which is probably something they do as well. Great video never the less! I love watching you guys, it makes my sad days much better!!!
This is the perfect video to tattoo to
You guys out here stabbing felt
I'm out here stabbing my arm
Love it
I think you guys should do a video where you try to learn how to crochet! Or maybe following a crochet tutorial. I think it would be really fun to see and crochet seems to be getting popular so it might get you some new viewers too
so completely freakin adorable (the craft and you both) 😻
You should try wet felting! No needles, so no blood or broken needles!
So cute‼️‼️I want to try so bad‼️😻😻😻
I have that gamersupps TUmbler as well! Good to know you have nice t aste.
I saw a video an she was doing some clear Elmer's glue projects like resin type stuff an stained glass projects pretty cool,
The skin pictures is why it’s very important to moisturize and use sunscreen to protect your skin barrier. Don’t forget your skin is your biggest organ.🖤
I love you two so much ❤😂
Some felting tips, you can use upholstery foam as a core to start your felting. Also avoid cutting the wool, pulling it apart will give it a smoother finish. If it is not pulling move your hand further apart. Felting needles are brittle and snap, it happens when you adjust your angle in the felt. Lastly giving them a bath in hot soapy water and rub them (wet felting) will give them a smooth finish and fill in the holes from needles. Also you can needle felt fabric and yarn, and non wool fibers.
HAHAHA i really loved that ad
😅 I love my wool balls for the dryer. I'm allergic to certain types of soaps 🧼 and softeners. Wool balls are perfect for my allergy needs. ❤
when Katelyn was re-doing the pink mouth , i thought i saw a little red tongue , it would actually be super cute
have been waiting for a video for soooooooooooooo long!!!
hiiii! i love ur content so much! never stop! have a good day byeeee
that commercial was amazing
Ngl, I *need* that words are hard hoodie, it looks so cool! I regret not getting it when it first came around! QQ
I shocked my hand with a static grass applicator with this playing in the background, you aren't stabbing yourselves alone
You should try felt metirel blocks and felt on them it's like painting
The cuteness 😂❤
What laundry balls (or tennis balls if you have ones that won't off-gas in the dryer) do is break up clumps of fabric that stuck together and don't dry in the middle. That's pretty much it. They're not anymore antistatic than a wool sock, and any chemicals they'd have on them would be used up after a few uses.
i use wool balls in the dryer. i find softens without chemicals. despite wide use of dryer sheets, it isnt recommended to use them
I love your videos
those laundry balls are basically reuseable dryer sheets. My dad bought them to replace dryer sheets a couple of years ago, and as long as you don't accidently take them out of the laundry room, it's actually less steps, less work, less worry, and less money down the drain.
OMG Looks so cute . How did you make them😽😻
I hate that I can’t sit and watch the lives even after their posted. So thank you for these!
You actually can! There’s a channel for them called Evan and katelyn uncut. I watched the stream for this video that way.
7:13 heheh it looks like the rainbow/bifrost bridge from Thor 😋💖
This is giving me christmas ornament vibes
Hello! Love you videos! 😊
As a kid we used to make Christmas baubles by needle felting on top of a styrofoam ball!
Ha! Dryer balls are used in the place of dryer sheets (which typically have artificial chemicals and scents). We have a set just like those and they just live in our dryer...no extra steps involved. I also put drops of essential oil on them if I want to give the load a fresh scent. I also use natural phosphate free detergent with no crazy artificial scents. Better for us and our environment!
Amazing sponser add!🤭
The needles breaking is just par for the course. They don't like sideways pressure, and over time, they'll wear out. You guys had them breaking now, because it was their time. You can definitely stab at an angle into things, but do the stabbing as a clean push, not as a sideways thingie.
I got so excited to see the Muriel you edited in 😂
A surprising amount of crafting includes violence... I love it.
