DIY Mushroom Animals - Cute Felting ASMR Video

I was so impressed by this kit because you get two needles and felting mat as well! So if you ever wanted to try felting, this is everything you need to get started. The pieces were designed by the kawaii felt artist Chiku Chiku and I bought it from a lovely Etsy shop called "mautio" (linked below) . I think this kit is quite rare and may get sold out soon so hurry if you want to buy it. The same shop also has one of the best kawaii sticker and deco tape collection's I've ever seen!
Of course, you can easily replicate this project using any sort of felting wool (I have Christmas giveaway coming soon for bumper packs of wool which can be used for this). The great thing is that all the wool quantities are evenly divided, except orange which is doubled since there are two mushrooms in that colour. TIP: I recommend making the mushrooms in the same order I did in this video. This prevents you from accidentally using up any wool colours that might still be needed for another animal!

[@themelonsoup]

So do I! I thought I was alone. Lol

[@MagiskeBecky]

When i saw the felting mat I literally shouted quietly "OMG a felting mat!"

[@maqaroon]

***** I know, it's so cool that a kit actually includes a mat! Sadly the same brand's kits seem to be sold out now, probably because they include so much stuff :/

[@BudgetHobby]

This is like the Ultimate needle felt kit for the begginer! Awesome!! :D

[@maqaroon]

BudgetHobby Yes, I couldn't believe it when I realised it actually contained a mat as well! And it's incredible value for money as well considering all the pieces you can make with it. I love that the mat is black because I can put white text over it in my future videos :D

[@samantharoderus9265]

Maqaroon Do many wool kits come with a mat.

[@MikeyTimothy]

Samantha Roderus not many do.

[@nctamid604]

The sound of the needle going into the mat and wool is oddly satisfying.

[@natalieperez3519]

The sound of the needle on the felt is so satisfying

[@caleb.the.angelxx_3689]

YASSSS

[@jimbojimbus]

crafttehkatt it's not really sewing, it's felting, but still has a needle!

[@laciscottini320]

Didn't she say that she likes the pack cause it had "SEW" much stuff?

[@honeymilk3103]

Wow! Needle felting looks so much fun. I cannot wait for my package to arrive!

[@theartsylife16]

So cute!! I love the sound of felting, it is relaxing for some reason.

[@jingwen2892]

YAY! This will be my first needle felting project when I receive my first ever batch of felt. You inspired me to try needle felting =)

[@SizzlePopCola]

I LOVE the sound of felting!!!! It's soooo relaxing

[@ohhaihooman6776]

I love the sound of her unwrapping it!

[@nusratmubeen7454]

U are amazing. Because of u i can finally learn to sew and every good projects u do and i have a suggesion. How about doing felting of a kangaroo or something or maybe u can have animal felting videos cuz i LOVE animals. I know little japanese... Sayonara!

[@ragandanessapb1546]

I liked the bunny and the frog and the chipmunk!!

[@unilightbulb5141]

Whenever I watch your videos it just makes me smile :D and ur really good at felting

[@I_Eat_Lemons]

I'm going to be honest, ASMR is for people who like quiet things. So when marking a video as ASMR try not to make harsh noises like for example the bags making noise. But, you did a wonderful job and they turned out adorable.

[@javagirl98]

This feels like the perfect combination of aggressive stabbing motions and cute things

[@sierrakeen5209]

Such an amazing art!! This is totally one of my favorite channels now :33..

[@LittleAmyHe]

Thanks for showcasing this kit!!!! Looks amazing for beginners! :D

[@audreye.7705]

Is it just me, or is that sound of the needle felting super satisfying.....

[@hannahnicole3337]

This was adorable

[@gilliancollado1215]

You are by far of the luckiest PPL in this world ;)

[@maleekmonroe1]

i dont understand how this works like this its voodoo magic! so cool tho!

[@christophertoole5964]

These would be awesome as Christmas ornaments to send to relatives

[@DO77IE]

This video is just perfection.

[@Stranded73]

That was the cutest thing I've ever seen!

[@_m_4567]

Absolutely adorable I love it 🍄

[@blueraspberrycharms]

Soo cute!!

[@larramommy]

This may sound weird, but I find your videos to be so relaxing.. I just love the sound of felt being poked haha :D Love your videos!!

[@maqaroon]

alemap08 Thank you!! I only found out later that the relaxing feeling is called "ASMR" which I've always enjoyed watching on other KZbin channels. RRcherrypie, Mosogourmet and Bonobos25 are also great for this! For felting noise videos, you might also like Pufftique and Lullubee Crafts :).

[@sierrakeen5209]

Maqaroon I think RRcherrypie is now named "Nameless" xD

[@xxxtamachanxxx]

So cute! They would make unique Christmas tree decorations :D

[@maqaroon]

Sunny Yes, that's a great idea :D!

[@hhoneyconez9779]

i made the tiger one with some left over wool from another project, and its adorable! thank you for this tutorial it was very useful ❤️

[@childishkennedi6864]

Asmr is so relaxing with headphones or earbuds

[@notsxcretsociety]

I love the videos with ASMR. It really helps with my anxiety 💖

[@acoolperson1618]

I love your work! has anyone ever told you how talented you are???

[@julianaaa3190]

I did a needlefelt kit+book called "felted friends" and I would love to see a tutorial on it! I also found out that the felting noises ARE REAL!!!!

[@mas69teredward]

I got paid today so I ordered it thanks to having it in my etsy cart after seeing the picture on Instagram.

[@mas69teredward]

Oh my gosh! They messaged me a thank you and have already sent the kit out! *squeeeeee*

[@Hunter-vm1or]

i would like to get into needle felting i almost did a long time ago but i was impatient now i can watch supernatural and do it YAY

[@Ppugugugugu]

aaaa your channel instantly became one of my favorites ;w;

[@maqaroon]

Purin★cha Yay thank you!!

[@TonariNoEli]

Hi! I really love this kit! They remenber me Mofy's pg! Super cute!

[@alysaanguiano5464]

I like how cute and cool you made them

[@zerotwosass3092]

They are all so cute but I like the blue one❤

[@Fluffy288]

this was SO cute!! thanks for recommending the new felting kit and the shop owner ^_^

[@maqaroon]

She is so lovely! When I ordered from her she even sent a handwritten letter with the package which was such a thoughtful touch.

[@Emily-ji2xw]

Great tutorial Joanna! I think this has to be one of the best needle felting kits for beginners! Hopefully I can get one for Christmas ;)

[@maqaroon]

Thank you! Yes, I think is is by far the best kit for anyone wanting to start felting and you get so much practise after making all 6 mushrooms :)

[@smeeekle]

These creations are so amazing!

[@hannah-vp2hj]

I've been whatching your channel for a while and is needle felting a simpler craft to do

[@julianaaa3190]

My fav is the frog!

[@vilteneverauskaite7554]

OMG the sounds are so satisfying!

[@Vassileve]

When you mark ASMR in your videos, please try to not make hard noises with the plastic paper... Still relaxing video though

[@kroweskins8088]

Vassileve what that mean anyway 😓I'm stupid

[@g10finolasamahram.lindain13]

But isn't that part of the ASMR?

[@SafeHavenCollective]

It's still ASMR, different people react to different sounds. For some hard noises agitates but for others it is relaxing. Be well :)

[@its._.strangerthings1591]

Omg. The noise is amazing

[@its._.strangerthings1591]

So cute. I love the chickmunk (I spelled it like that bc that's how I say it irk)

[@kathleenmadden3952]

OMG! you are AMAZING i would request a video showing all of your needle felt figures xoxo!

[@Figliz_]

They kinda look like Pokemon. Love it.

[@user-nx9xf5tv9x]

The frog is so *CUTE*

[@kawaiipolyclaycharm]

OMG THESE ARE ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!! my favorite one though was the frog.. so cute ! xD

[@maqaroon]

kawaiipolyclaycharm Thank you! I love the frog as well, all the felt characters designed by Chiku Chiku are amazing.

[@_.tinylilfrog._3189]

When she was doing the Baby Chick, when she was doing the beak it sounded like quacks XD

[@caleb.the.angelxx_3689]

Hi Maqaroon so see I wanted to try needle felting because it looks fun I just wanted to know how long does it usually take to make one thing ? Anyways love your channel so so much !! It is amazing and I am going to try some of these ! Also one question is needle felting hard ? I feel it is easy anyways hope you reply !! Thanks :3

[@maqaroon]

+II Kawaii II Hi! It normally takes at least 1 hour to make one piece from beginning till end (such as one of these animals). Needlefelting is not difficult at all, but it simply requires A LOT of patience. This makes it seem "difficult" for many beginners because they simply lose patience and try to rush a piece which means it doesn't turn out as nicely as the picture on the packaging. So the trick is to stop working if you lose concentration. Some kits might take several days to make but it's a lovely relaxing process so you should simply enjoy making each shape look great instead of hurrying to finish the kit.

[@jordanezzell2494]

I feel like there should've been a fox and you could make a cute little tail that you attach between the stalk and cap and it'd just be so adorable

[@evajoyful2917]

Those are so cute!

[@celestialjunipers6829]

Needlefelting is very satisfying Crunchy, dry and not messy Not like slime

Another OUTSTANDING video! These are sooo cute!! I really enjoy your videos, they really calm me down because of the ASMR. it's really relaxing and soothing, also are you going to start talking in your tutorials and LOVE your nail polish, what brand is it from?

[@maqaroon]

[@candymints5459]

Thanks!

[@kodaanneanne4664]

Hello! I was wondering if any other kits come with needles and a mat. Also if you have any needle brands you recommend Thanks :3!!

[@maqaroon]

+Koda Anne Anne Hi! I'm afraid this kit is totally sold out by now, and there aren't any other kits that come with the mat and needle. However you should check out this Etsy shop, they have tons of adorable kits by Hamanaka and you can get a "starter set" with two needles and a felting mat very cheaply: www.etsy.com/shop/1127handcrafter

[@ryannelson9488]

+Maqaroon do you ever stab your self when doing this because you are good at it with out stabing our self 10,000 times XD

[@nikkiej.5875]

Really cute. Thanks for the video. 😺

[@ms9105]

loved your felting and the kit is amazing !!! please can you do more vlog and clay tutorials ... oh sorry and hauls as well !!! i know this is lots of requests but you can even take a year for completing ! i will wait for your videos !!! thank you if you accept these .

[@maqaroon]

M crafts Thank you! Yes, I definitely hope to make another vlog before Xmas and I have so many tutorial ideas for clay but that might end up going into 2015...somehow all the Christmas tutorials I had planned ended up being felt or plushies ^_^"

[@soniasincero2707]

oh my god but how do you do all these amazing things

[@pepperchiiau2801]

Her hands are magic!!!!!

[@RainebowEvee]

Once I tried one of these kits and it turned out really cute! Unfortunately after a few weeks the felt turned all fuzzy... Is there a way to prevent it?

[@juliab5605]

Yes, u could felt it more or spray perfume/hairspray💕 hope it helps!

[@deathknight3349]

I like all ur videos they r really cute im also hoping to make some of them too ;) :3

[@maqaroon]

Thank you! Wish you lots of luck if you decide to try out a tutorial :)

[@deathknight3349]

[@midnightblood8210]

Awwww

[@KuruAnimeShoujo2000]

Love your videos !

[@emilynguyen186]

How long does it take most of your kits to arrive? They are from Japan, right?

[@maqaroon]

Emily Nguyen Hi! This kit was sent from Japan though I believe it's unfortunately sold out right now. It takes about 2 weeks for it arrive to Europe. The other Etsy shop (1127Handcrafter) that I normally order from is based in HongKong and it takes about 1.5 weeks to arrive.

[@canergulbek9741]

I like this mashrooms

[@CELESTE-wf1qd]

can you recommend a good starter kit (that includes needle & mat) like this one?

[@sweetvial]

+Purple Panda Hi! in one of her vids, she showed a hamster and penguin kit that includes two needles. It does not include a mat but there are some substitutes, check out her all about needlefelting video to know them! (cuz I forgot!)

[@CELESTE-wf1qd]

Thanks so much +Fuzzylop00 Aj

[@yumikoirie1915]

+Purple Panda She also have some links in her comments because some others asks too

[@user-wl1gw7dg3e]

Purple Panda I got one off of amazing but it didnt come with a mat. What I did is I just got a moist sponge (so it's not so hard) which worked perfectly!

[@maisiesullivan8293]

you inspired me to make my own love it

[@rachel3723]

Omg I just got so much stuff for felting and I will definitely be making these!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@Isabella-ef5uv]

Really fun idea!!

[@rosebutterfly8175]

they are soo cute

[@sweetiepea2207]

Thank you :D I'll be sure to get some for myself

[@mercytanchiying]

Hi Maqaroon. Can u please explain to me why does it come together like some sort of plush toy when u poke the wool with your needle?Thank you :)

[@maqaroon]

Mercy Tan Hi! Wool is essentially made up of many loose fibres with air in between. However if they come in contact with water or friction, the fibres break apart and start sticking to each other. This creates a smaller and more solid shape (it's the same reason why woolly sweaters shrink inside the washing machine/dryer. The machine has mushed all the wool fibres together so the sweater becomes much smaller and impossible to wear :P). A needlefelting needle has tiny hooks in the tip which help rip up the fibres and make them stick together. By poking them long enough, it gets rid of all the air between the wool and the resulting piece is a solid shape which you can sculpt :)
