Attaching Fur to your Needle Felted Animal | QUICK DEMO | 4 Different Types | Needle Felting Animals

[@SheilaStahl]

How totally fun for the the neighbor's cat to feel welcome jumping through your open window. I love that. Also, your videos and tuts are super helpful to a novice. Thanks!

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Thanks so much and glad you find them helpful ❣️

[@keltieb7175]

I love the animals you've done. One of the things I appreciate the most is the attention you pay to the anatomy of the animal, they always look perfectly porpotioned. The long haired dog is just stunning.

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Thank you, I do try to measure and get proportions correct, a printed photo really works for me xx

Lions and tigers and the neighbors cat. Loved it!

My neighbour's cat comes in too but they get really furious. But actually they should be grateful I am cat friendly. Not everyone is!

I picked up this hobby a few weeks ago and felt so lost til i came across your videos, now i'm gearing to sell my fun crafts on etsy :)

[@feltsbyphilippa]

That's so kind of you to say and so glad you like the video's. I am going to do a video of my experience on Etsy in a few weeks, basically it takes time to get going but the more you sell, the more you will sell, feedback and evidence of sales really help. Anyway, glad you have found the hobby, I love it, thanks for watching x

I’ve been watching a couple of your videos. I received a kit for Christmas! Having never done any felting before. I like knitting and crochet sewing and painting so quite crafty!! I’ve seen a little bit of felting but I am a total novice! I did the kit but it’s just not like anything I’ve seen in here! I’ve bought some kit and keep watching you tutorials.

[@Naptime73]

Thank you for your very helpful videos - I have learned so much. But I have a question and I just can't find an answer. How do you stop the 'fluffing' when doing manes, tails, long hair? Mine looked ok ...but now they have all started to fluff out. It gets thick, starts coming out the bottom and it looks daggy. I tried giving one a gentle comb with the needle but that just made it very thin. What am I doing wrong?

[@feltsbyphilippa]

I think you have to handle the wool very carefully in the first place, never have your mat underneath as it will mess up the wool and I guess my manes are put in quite thick so that when you brush things with a single needle lots of wool is still there. Also have a solid base to felt into otherwise the wool won't take hold very well xx

[@nelianetm]

Excellent! Thank you for sharing❤️

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Glad you like it and thank you for commenting! x

[@HyperSpeziFisch]

could you needle felt at the ends of the roving to have really really long fur? or would it pull out easily? thinking of making a nice fluffy pompom that looks like real fur?

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Yes, you can, maybe place a length of carded over the end to really secure it, try and give yourself at least an inch to secure in x

[@GeriStorm]

Love the striped model popping in view🐈

[@feltsbyphilippa]

I know! She's asleep downstairs right now, keep having to pop her out to go to her own home x

Hello! Thank you fur the outstanding tutorial (I'm sorry, I had to :))! But anyways, recently I've found an interest in trying out needle felting. I am debating on whether or not to buy a kit off of amazon. Do you think it is a fun thing to try out? Do you have any advice? If I do get into it, I will ENSURE I use your tutorials. Thank you so much! Happy felting!

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Definitely a great craft to try, here's my video on a great starter kit for beginners and I have a playlist for beginners too x kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZ3Jl4CJnpWpnKs

How do you felt the shorter Highland cow coat , Ive done the long haired successfully from your pdf , i just need to try the shorter coat .

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Lots of trimming I'm afraid, I hope to do a full online tutorial on him but struggling with time x

[@larctrinx8960]

How do you keep the strands from clumping together? It might be the type of wool I'm using, but I've been having difficulties keeping hair from trying to mat and clump, and isn't soft. Any thoughts or suggestions?

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Definitely could be the wool, anything fine can be tricky but I remove my mat and try and felt with the creation upright as much as possible. The clover claw is good at gentle combing it out x

[@seisenhart5356]

Thank you 😃

Please tell the process in which we can transform yarn into felt.

[@feltsbyphilippa]

You can brush out yarn to turn it into something you can felt, it takes a long time but some people do it, you just use a strong brush on it and comb it.

[@LilHeavenlyTreasures]

Do you save your scrape wool to use on another project?

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Yes, definitely for core wool for projects xx

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I just want to say that the music is quite distracting as your teaching method and voice are soothing enough. I dont see the need for the music as it clashes with your method :)

Hi Audrei, Thanks really kind of you to say, sometimes I don't turn the music down enough, you are right. I will review it and maybe find quieter, more slower tracks, I do like having it so I don't feel I have to talk and can leave a gap. I will definitely look at it and thanks for watching x
