Best video ever! I’ve just started needle felting (and have been wishing I started it sooner) and this was an excellent guide to eyes (especially complicated ones). I’m an artist by nature so the drawing references were very helpful. Thank you so much! ❤

Thank you for this lovely comment, glad you found this helpful, and glad you liked the drawing references 😊

Thank you. I make knitted and crochet toys for a charity and want to move away from stitching the faces to needle felting them - I think they're cuter that way. Your videos are great to watch and I like your conversing toys.

[@juliesfeltedfriends]

Thanks for this, glad you've found the videos helpful, yes it's a great way to put eyes on knitted or crochet toys. Hope you have fun doing that 😊 Thanks for watching

Thank you so much! I am working on a kit project and it says needle felt the eyes, nose, and mouth. Like ‘yup’ I know exactly how to do that - Not! I’m off to watch your video on fixing problems now! Then back here to make nose and mouth v2.0

[@juliesfeltedfriends]

Hi Helen glad you've found this useful, it can be frustrating when there's an assumption that you know how to do something, many thanks for the lovely feedback, hope you manage to get your eyes nose and mouth felted ok 🙂

[@delilacain7882]

funny thing, I learned the grid technique & did a really great blue tone portrait & I just thought it was funny that you're doing a blue character!

[@juliesfeltedfriends]

Thanks for the comments, using the grid technique can be really useful sometimes 🙂 your blue tone portrait sounds fun, I more recently finished Sadness (the blue character) and published a video on how I made her here if you'd like to see her finished 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2eZYZ9uq9uhd80

[@8-468]

Thanks for the tutorial. I really like it and how it helped me to make my doll's face. Could you please make tutorial for anime hair/hairstyles. I'd appreciate it 💖.

[@juliesfeltedfriends]

Than you for your comments, glad you liked the tutorial, I will have a think about doing hairstyles, anime and others 🙂

[@tsmith5740]

The faces at the end are impressive! I’m still trying to get a ball to actually be round 😂

[@juliesfeltedfriends]

Aw thank you, shaping can be tricky, but it will get easier with practice 😊 rolling the wool as tightly as possible to begin with helps, I have an older video on shaping which may also help? kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYG0n553ZZinnZo and there's one in felting a ball too kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2LRm6Cjp7lnbKc hope this helps, thanks for watching

You're very welcome, hope you found it helpful 😊

[@noname-xh3sj]

I've just started needle felting a couple days ago. Can I ask why do you make a base and cover it in yellow instead of making the whole thing in yellow?

[@juliesfeltedfriends]

Hi there, welcome to the addictive craft that is needle felting 😊 I tend to use a coarse core carded wool to create the shape first, partly because it's quicker to felt and because it's cheaper than coloured wool, but you can make the whole thing out of coloured wool. I'd recommend carded wool as this is easier to felt than tops wool. If you want to see a bit more on different needles and wool you might want to watch this video on when to stop stabbing here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYOQg5-Bm9GBatk Thanks for watching and hope you have fun felting

[@noname-xh3sj]

@@juliesfeltedfriends thank you very much. It seems there's a lot to learn about the different wool and needles to use but it's very addictive making things. Thank you for your videos 🙂

[@animationpearl]

What wool did you use as the base is it just white core wool? And is the yellow wool also core wool?

[@juliesfeltedfriends]

Hi, yes I used a white core wool for the base, I usually use carded Jacob wool batt, but any coarse core wool would be fine. The yellow wool is a carded sheep's wool that a friend bought me, it came in a pack of assorted colours, I'm afraid I'm not sure where she got it from. The yellow is less coarse than the core wool and because it's carded wool is slightly easier to felt. Hope this information helps :)
