DIY Kawaii Sunfish - ASMR Needlefelting Tutorial

[@maqaroon]

@ Skyler Villarreal 'Effecting' is not actually a word in English. Afraid I do sometimes make typos in videos which can't be corrected after uploading but in this case, affecting is the correct spelling :)

[@klboon8400]

OMFG, WHERE DO U ALWAYS GET A NEVER ENDING SUPPLY OF WOOL????

[@geark3024]

+Kl Boon I'm pretty sure the wool is in the kits,or she orders it online

[@cera3876]

The wool is a special type of wool, yes. ^^^

[@melamey]

When you get it, is it always in Japanese/Chinese? Or will it be in English or other languages for people?

[@melamey]

Or Korean I forgot to add XD?

[@lt3886]

Does anyone else loves it when the needle goes through the wool and makes a noise. I do

[@cindysilva0306]

Me too!!!

[@Fluffy288]

omg me too! i thought i was the only one

[@fia_reine]

I do! It's relaxing.

[@xMissJolie]

It's just so soothing..

[@webk1nz101]

I really do!

[@Ketchupgiri]

I love your needle felting vids so much!

[@mayguo745]

OMG ketchup girl I love your vids so much :)))

[@kawaiikurun2088]

May Guo its ketchupgiri not girl

[@lnh1147]

Ketchupgiri omggg ketchupgiri

[@jessicatadala1877]

love your videos

[@isabellel0ves_u]

oml hi!!!!

[@123ifish]

I love your ASMR needlefelting videos so much! They are so relaxing :) (also why would you put all that effort into making such a cute thing only to use it as a cleaning sponge?! crazy!)

[@maqaroon]

+India Fisher Hi! thank you so much!!

[@BudgetHobby]

that is so much bigger than i expected (base on your cover picture) lol. It's too bad that the instruction was not accurate :\ but it still looks super adorable :D

[@maqaroon]

Yes, I only saw the pic on the packaging when I ordered it and assumed it was small as well! I was really surprised when I opened the diagram, and I learned a lesson trying to make bigger pieces because the needle doesn't felt properly all the way through =_=

[@lincolnap2689]

Maqaroon how many kits do you have ?? And what's your favorite craft to do

[@maqaroon]

lincolna pereira My favourite craft is definitely needle-felting! I'm actually quite lazy so I love that felting only requires one needle and you don't need to have a table spread full of supplies/clay/tools. I have so many kits at home because I get excited and keep buying ones which I want to film, but actually making the tutorials takes much longer so the kits pile up! I think I have about 15-20 kits right now including extra ones for future giveaways :)

[@lincolnap2689]

Thanks for replying wow that's a lot if kits wish I could have that many ....also have you tried knitting ,knitting is one of my favorite s because its also fun to do ,love your videos!!! Maqaroon​

[@Fluffy288]

Maqaroon please film more needlefelting tutorials i love them all!!!

[@perpetuallylove]

I'm glad to know that somebody who is so prolific and skilled and making perfectly cute needle felt animals sometimes still makes mistakes too and felting is so forgiving! It turned out beautiful!

[@ainsleyw3504]

I thought it was going to be small

[@miac243]

Ainsley w lol me too 😂

[@gia2230]

Me 2

[@pineapplec0ke]

I just discovered this new type of asmr and I like it

[@RosaAkimoto]

Ah... the sunfish game! Mola mola XD Insanely adorable sunfish you made

[@shokhinajalilova847]

My mom is buying me a needlefelting kit and I cant wait to try it!!!

[@maqaroon]

Shokhina Jalilova Yay! Good luck!

[@shokhinajalilova847]

Maqaroon thanks love your videos

[@MariaValdez-pv2wi]

I actually have a playlist for needle felting just to help me fall asleep ; - ; Its the MOST effective.

[@laurasingleton8846]

Same

[@melamey]

Same here but I just look for these kind of vids with the felt

[@leliisisterz3435]

OMGGGG SAMMEEEEE because some nights I can't fall asleep😕

[@ghadeerbazzi9919]

The sounds are so satisfying idk why

[@verogsn]

Heart Attack78 exactly how I feel

[@lindseycheng3369]

Wow that is so much bigger than I expected! So cute too 💙

[@MagpieNYC]

You make some of the best asmr videos, that needle felting noise is so relaxing to me

[@RobloxEasy]

I like the idea of the ambience noise, rather than music, because I love that crunching sound it makes when you stab it!

[@kittykatminecraft9859]

These ASMR videos are really calming me down :) I'm in severe pain right now, because I just had surgery, and lost my voice (It's not that it's quiet, nothing will come out) So THANK YOU!!!!

[@esromecarg3455]

Its just so satisfying hearing the needle poke

[@ainsleyw3504]

Gracie Morse omg I thought the same thing watching the first video

[@ashleytrujillo9799]

Gracie Morse ikr😂

[@RamuneSoda]

Its amazing how therapeutic/calming stabbing wool with a needle is.

[@pastelhotmess9299]

the sunfish looks so cuddly & magical!

[@CraftyMints]

Awwww Yes, it's too cute to be just a dish sponge! Hooray for the extra wool- Glad that it didn't mess up the tutorial!!!! ;)

[@haruharu3513]

안영하세요!!I don't know if I even spelled it right. Hahaha

[@sing-a-ladies1658]

Oh gosh..... I miss these videos so much. The slime videos and all that are great, but this really was unique and just beautiful in every way😞

[@KityCrylics]

I love these ASMR versions. They help me sleep.

[@joeyd44]

The needle poking in the wool sounds so satisfying it's like popcorn

[@francescacain4294]

The things that you make always look exactly like how it is shown in the package.

[@yumcandywright9336]

Didn't need to say that twice

[@ericalin2610]

YAY ITS UP! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW EXCITED I AM

[@youngforever9374]

Is it supposed to feel squishy? I made one and I threw at my friend and I squeeze the things I throw and it felt squishy

[@maqaroon]

+Midnight Oreos Hi! Yes, the final piece is supposed to be slightly soft and you can squish it 😛

[@thepond37]

+Maqaroon Can I eat it?

[@jayyymiee2919]

+Frost Wolf LOL

[@alenazhang8629]

+Frost Wolf but it would taste so much better if you drink it

[@fluffypuffz9599]

I only watch these felting vids because the noise the needle makes is so satisfying :3

[@lexiethesquirrel6209]

+TheGirlGamer That's what the ASMR part means

[@fluffypuffz9599]

+Lexie The Squirrel ik

[@lexiethesquirrel6209]

TheGirlGamer Okay

[@thegalacticbard]

felting is so adorable. I've been wanting to try it for awhile

[@teresahdz7306]

Those crunches get me for some reason

[@ferretpate2948]

Could you also add how long it takes you to do each piece?

[@chantellescott3176]

Hey maqaroon congratulations on getting over 40,000 subbies I love all of your marvellous creations your such an inspiring person!

"Supposed to be a sponge" OMFG It's cute AND functional!? I wanna try this. @_@ Thanks so much for sharing! :D You have so many amazing tutorials! I can't believe I haven't found you sooner! I wish I found you sooner!

[@maqaroon]

+HdGrazia Thank you so much for you awesome comment!!! Yes, all the kits from Hamanaka that use "Aclaine" wool are supposed to be sponges but I could never bring myself to use them XD!

[@jazzyandstellaarefriends9581]

Your so good at needle felting !😄

[@ms9105]

[@sunny-ok7kx]

At the beginning when you first starting making the shape of the body , I was like WOAH THATS GOING TO GE A BIG FISH

[@ReadObituaries]

This is my first time seeing felting and omg I'm in love!

[@shibainu1948]

I love these videos so much! They make me feel so calm

[@caits2692]

I just got my first needle felting kit and I'm so excited!!!

[@sirspyke]

Cloud Kiwi i want one so bad, but im a klutz and probably poke myself in the first ten seconds, so my parents dont let me :(

[@hngrywlf5541]

Awesome! You have inspired me to start felting again! ( long ago, I felted stuff, and I stopped )

[@psycopathicpianolove1102]

[@vivianc.8341]

@maqaroon your nails are always so pretty! I remember one time I tried to use clay glaze as a clear polish and in the shower it peeled of! I have no idea what I was thinking 😂😂😂

[@alexisto7586]

Awesome and you make every thing look easy

[@popcorncraft4613]

Maqaroon I bought this kit last holidays and I started with the the entire base layer wool and started poking. I was worried I would get an air pocket inside but i didn't! I had enough blue and yellow to make another one too :)

[@cynthiabrogan9215]

This channel taught me how to felt.

[@nolanmorton7570]

I WISH YOU COULD SELL YOUR THINGS THAT ARE AWESOMEEEEEEE

[@poiuytrewqqwertyuiop1054]

[@sphereofstorms]

+Tree Eater but she closed it to focus on KZbin

[@charlieeyamani8938]

Flying Cookies Aww really??

[@sphereofstorms]

Tree Eater yep:-(

[@snorlvx_2577]

I like the sounds when she opens the kit

[@batandcat0508]

Okay. I really expected to hear a sigh of relief once the caption "And the body is done" once you handled that fiasco with the pocket.

[@OmarSJS]

I followed you on Instagram because you inspired me so much to do creative and crafty things

[@planeteris3825]

You make it look so easy!🐟

[@yeetmeister6969]

This is so cute even though for some unknown reason I'm terrified of sunfish ;~;

[@GOREFESTS]

[@maqaroon]

+Toon Link Hi! thank you so much!!

[@jadeabrera4204]

[@nannacat978]

Wow really? You made it look so easy!!!!

[@miaxxx1916]

That's so good! I am surprised because usually people improve and I don't see how you could from this!!😂😊💓👌

[@coolnessiscoolgirl]

I have never needle felted but I really love this design and I would love to do it. Do you think it is too advanced for me? Will it turn out bad? Please let me know.

[@kawaiikix9994]

This was my first needle felting vid I watched anyone else's?

[@sohini28]

Same! I absolutely love it and think I'm gonna start needle felting soon !😍

[@jessicaaustin4947]

Yup

[@sundreary]

+Sohini Watermelon! just a warming: i so have a scar from needle felting 2 days ago.

[@nixie._.x4986]

luticens that's a risk she/he is willing to take

[@xxbloodypawsxx8879]

you're so good at this!!!!

[@sketchinitout2522]

8 saw this video a coule years ago and I finally got myself the same kit off of Amazon!

[@tylee3479]

1:45 Mang, is that you? PS I love your creations ;0; They make me wanna get out there and buy a heap of clays, needle felting and slime but I have no money :-:

[@shenyahdavis195]

love this! I want to start doing this now! where do you get those packages of felting wool with the animals and the need and the felting mat thingy. cause I want to learn off of you.

[@giadaloporto2275]

I love how on the diagram of the sunfish facing forward it has two sides of its body and you can only make one side 😂

[@Ganaha_Celosia_Priskos]

In California (where my college is) a name we call it is Mola Mola. But in Japan (where I'm originally from) those fish are known for being absolutely useless in games. Also they're popular in Pachinko places for some strange reason.

[@GirangLand]

love it!! its look so easy to u but too difficult for me..haha...i think i want to try to make 1 later. its so exciting

[@misokyoryu1416]

Could you please do a needle felt video on Rilakkuma? It'd be so cute! : 3

[@Emily-ji2xw]

Wonderful video! I hope you can continue to upload these amazing craft videos! ;)

[@EponasTheMimic]

I'm trying to needle felt a cat at the moment its so much fun. i may try this and give it to my grandparents once I've finished making it. They love tropical fish.

[@kcgeckos4551]

How adorable! I need to make one for my boyfriend, he loves ocean sunfish.

[@maqaroon]

Aww good luck!!

[@djmaxipad6238]

I'm a beginner felter and I've watched almost all of your videos. I have specific questions regarding your techniques. Are there different results you would obtain when pulling the wool apart versus balling it up? Same question...with leaving wispy edges on smaller parts and poking onto the main piece versus cutting into the main piece and pushing the smaller parts inside of the cut?

[@maqaroon]

Stacey Borcky Hi! Those are great questions! Balling the wool creates a denser core and that helps keep the piece nice and firm (it's also easier to hold which greatly reduces the risk of accidentally poking a finger :P). Pull the wool apart helps create an even surface because the fibers are evenly spread out. Personally, I would recommend balling the wool when making the core of a piece, then covering it with a layer of fluffy, pulled apart wool for the final finish. For attaching smaller pieces, it's best to have wispy edges AND cut a slot so there are "stray fibers" on both sides of the pieces you want to attach. This way, the needle helps wool from both sides mesh together and creates a very firm bond. If you ever feel two pieces aren't joined together that well, then just keep adding some spare wool to the part where they join up. The needle will compress the wool a lot so adding a few extra strands won't have an effect on the shape or appearance of the final piece. Hope this helps and good luck!

[@dizzydevi8019]

How do you layer up the body without over felting ..... Help ????????

[@alahnakisebach503]

In my experience, felt less than you think you need to. Not much more than enough to hold the piece together and get it in anout the right shape. You can always felt more, but you can't go back.

[@johnrvickerman1729]

Sunfish are so so big and there very cool also is your felted sunfish

[@friskdreemur1759]

I like the crunchy sounds when u felt

[@dizzydevi8019]

When doing a larger piece I know that you start small then add wool to make bigger .... My prob is that when I do that , and adding layers it get really hard before I've finished ... Which makes it hard to add details... What do I do ... Help

[@donnajk4423]

Devin Houthoofd hello I have been felting for a while. If you are creating a larger item it’s best to use core wool. Buy from Amazon cheap enough as you can then just lightly poke it and then add your main colours. If you already do this and it’s still hard it’s because you don’t need to needle it so much until you get nearer the outside part. Believe me I have broke so many needles when I first started. I thought all the wool fibres had to be pushed in right from the start. Then it ends up like rock. Hope that helps and enjoy ur crafting 😊

[@donnajk4423]

Devin Houthoofd also forgot to add. You can also roll your wool into the basic shape. Use a bigger piece. If u start with small amount and build up it will get too dense and be hard. Roll a ball of core wool and lightly prick. Then add your colours and then you can needle more

[@froggygirlism]

Plz do a tour of all ur felts

[@magaretnatjeffrey1991]

I have a question can we do this by using any wools from the store

[@munchkinfamily8020]

SO SATISFYING! I luv the fish too! :3

[@nannacat978]

Wow i think you have gotten better t neeedle felting!!!

[@maqaroon]

Bonnie Lee Thank you! This piece was a lot more difficult than I expected, and it was the first time since I started needlefelting where I acually considered throwing it out and starting again D:

[@faythmomto5]

nailed it! I wouldn't scrub anything with it either!

[@gcepdx7147]

The stuff you make are cool!
