Felted Acorns: An Intro to Needle Felting

[@allisoncinnamonart53]

These are so cute! I love felting. A fun tip for these little decorative pieces is to put a few drops of essential oil on them to use as a kind of diffuser (I've done it with lavender, sage, and tea tree oil).

Love this Shayda. I found some acorns this morning on my walk.

Fantastic tutorial, Shayda! We just picked up a supple of wool top for felting and spinning, and my kids will find this project easy and satisfying. Thank you!! -Hana

Make sure they have finger guards if they are young it’s easy to get your finger with the needle if you aren’t paying attention

Oh Shayda you are so inspiring, I so desperately want to make some of these for my tree!!! Unfortunately I am not going to find any acorns here in Australia 😩. I am in love with your instagram photo of your house in the snow, it is enchantingly beautiful. Today in Australia it is very very hot and sunny!! ❤️

And can you tell where you got the wool from

[@GlaizaJournals]

they're soooo cute. 😍

[@karenerdmann6563]

Super cute.

[@mwippa18]

I wish we had acorns in Australia such a cute video

[@alexandralavrente2523]

Hello Shayda! I think your work is lovely

[@sam6294]

Awesome!

[@stefanidimauro9040]

So darling! Your video is filmed so beautifully, can I ask what kind of camera you use?

[@ShaydaCampbell]

Stefani DiMauro Hi, thanks! I use a Nikon D5300, typically with a 50 mm prime lens.

[@naisankamal5439]

Can you show to make the top part as i live in india. I can't find the top part in INDIA

[@CAngel-x9u]

You can't make those, as they are the tops of the natural acorns from the Oak trees. You have to gather them from the nature.

[@el5663]

This is really cute. Be careful poking. The needle is sharp. I just poked my finger : /. Put something underneath and sure careful handling the felt.

[@doingtheellathing]

Is there any way to do this with something besides real wool? Does a fake wool exist?

[@allisoncinnamonart53]

I've never found anything that works like wool. The natural fibres in the wool is coarse which allows for this whole process to work. Plant and synthetic fibres are usually too smooth. I have seen this done with cat and dog hair. My aunt collects her cats' fur when she brushes them and makes little felted mice for them. Out of their own hair...

[@adinakasa8983]

Good job, they are beautiful!

[@carlafeeoryne3102]

I live in the dessert... no acorn tops here...

[@maryhaegele3500]

We are great, but you are air felting, at this is not an advised technique , especially for beginner nerves!
