Needle Felting For Beginners Tutorial - Let Me Guide You Into The Wonderful World Of Felting!!

[@Nick-cy2tn]

I'm a 32 year old guy and I'm at the point in lockdown boredom where I'm gonna give this a go

Saw needle felting and thought “oh that’s cool I’ll watch a tutorial” clicked on this and was extremely surprised that it was straight to the point. Immediate subscriber

[@feltsbyphilippa]

I do like to keep the videos short so try to get straight to it, sometimes doesn't happen but glad you appreciate it, thanks x

[@lingreer9531]

I felt the same way. I so appreciate getting right to it with your directions. Definitely subscribe! One small suggestion - although I liked your background music (most others I don't, LOL) it was about 50% too loud for me to hear your wonderful directions. Unfortunately, it's not just bad hearing on my part, it's a focus problem. I did find people running the music way too loud even years ago. It boils down to why are we there? It's to listen and learn from you! If we can't comprehend, we likely won't follow. Right? Good. Thanks again for your videos!

[@feltsbyphilippa]

I have turned music right down on my more recent videos, managed to get to grips with editing and listening to comments, thanks so much for watching and subscribing x

[@nataliebakesandmakes5848]

Same here! It was also very well explained and easy to understand. I got a kit called felting friends that had all the stuff, but explained it terribly in the instructions. For example I’m making a koala and it says “use blue wool to make a ball shape for the head and an egg shape for the body. Join them together.” I looked up how to do it and yours came up and now I know exactly how to do it! Thank you!

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Glad it helps, joining things isn't always easy and depends on your wool type. I have lots of beginner videos that you might find helpful too x

1+ Year(s) later, I’m back to this video. I’m turning 18 next week and as a dude, I got to help out local shelters, a CHURCH!!, I got to even teach kids at my local library how to felt. It needs patience, and a LOT of creativity which is something KIDS HAVE!!! I mean, I don’t really make a lot of money from this, but this skill is what I was super lucky to help teach my grandma before she passed. Really awesome to look at one of the first videos and grow from there. Truly a masterpiece of a craft :)

I'm getting my first beginner felting kit tomorrow! I'm really excited. Not to be dramatic but I've felt a bit lost over the past couple years, and even my hobbies of drawing and writing have become difficult to motivate myself into doing. I allowed myself to impulsively buy a beginner's kit, and it's the first time I've felt excited for something in a while! I can't wait to make little animals to give to my friends.

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Needle felting is very therapeutic and just a lovely way to relax, start simple, practice some shapes and then just have fun and make something you really like. Remember it's hard to replicate exactly what you see, it will be your own version and that's good, I hope you enjoy it x

[@AnimatingOwl]

I see a few people mention the background music, I didn’t get bothered much until the end, I luckily could understand you perfectly so I didn’t mind it❤ In school I tried needlefelting a few years back, I gave up quite quickly. 2 weeks ago I was in a hobby shop and saw all the things I needed for it. I’m 14, so I had my father with me, and he claimed I wouldn’t be patient enough with it, which I actually believed until I realized I have about 16 hobbies, mainly drawing, watercoloring and painting which usually takes me 2-12 hours, so it wasn’t too bad. Without watching any videos on it I made a few little fictional characters, I think it went well but I’ve decided to watch a few videos to ensure I don’t mess up, I did stab myself in the finger within 10 minutes of it so😂😅 I’m definitely following you! Your explanations are very good!

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Thank you, glad you like the videos and I think it's okay to have lots of craft hobbies. You can combine lots of them and it took me years to find needle felting which I have mostly settled on, thanks for watching and glad the music wasn't too loud x

Hi! I have just been extremely inspired to take up this hobby, I was wondering how pricey these products are??? This video is really helpful. I know a lot of people are upset about the music but it doesn’t really bother me! Thanks again!!!!

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Aahh, thank you, I think it must sound differently on some audio systems. A starter kit is around £15 to £20, I do a video showing a good starter kit, but you will probably want more wool. However if you buy a kit of an animal you want to make (Etsy have lots), then you get exactly what you need. Research wools before you buy too much, carded is easiest to start. I also do a video on suppliers so that might help too. I reckon basic start cost £25 then another £25 would really help after a few weeks. Thanks for watching 👀 🙂 x

Excellent instruction. I had never heard of needle felting before today, but was captivated by some "critters" made this way. Thought I might like to try it. I look forward to watching your other videos. Thank you for a nice clear introduction to the craft/art.

I make fursuits of my characters (yes, indeed I am a furry) and I was gonna get a felt needle for repairing bald spots in fur when shaving down around face, ears, paw fingers, etc. but I randomly had the thought of learning felt neediling. This video was very helpful and my interest has increased by a lot! I really think it could be a fun expansion for my art hobby.

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Definitely and I have lots more videos for beginners too, thanks for watching x

i'm so glad i found this video. I ordered a basic kit and got enamored with needle felting so i wanted to give it a shot. This gives me even more inspiration so i can't wait to dive in all of your videos

Brilliant, I've lots of beginner videos so have a look through, it's a fantastic craft! X

Gonna watch this later, dabbled in it a bit before but local craft stores never had much, decided to take the plunge and browse online! It’s been a while so I’ll need to get the hang of it again~

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Hope you enjoy it, carded wool and good needles will help in the beginning xx

Yes! Definitely! Lol 😆 x

Oh I love this! I never heard of needle felting before. I saw an ad on Facebook tonight and looked it up on here. I want to try this. I can make things for my classroom and for all my husband's grandchildren. There's about 15 of them and we can't afford to buy them much in in the way of gifts.

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Felting is great for gifts, very unique and special, I've lots of tutorials on my channel so do have a look through x

that's it...? THAT'S IT?? i thought this was a super complicated craft that i'd never be able to learn! this is easy! i have to try it!

Definitely try, once you see a project broken down it's really not that bad x

[@CaptainKheira]

I just tried needle felting for the first time tonight, and it went rather poorly. I just found this video and it makes so much more sense than the instructions my kit came with! I'm going to try again tomorrow and hopefully do better with this new knowledge.

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Wonderful! Glad it helped and it might be the wool is tops not carded and make sure you have good quality needles, this all helps to make felting easier in the beginning xx

[@CaptainKheira]

@feltsbyphilippa I had to look up what that means, and it sounds like the wool I have is tops. Is carded generally easier to work with for a beginner?

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Yes definitely, check out my beginner playlist for videos on it xx

Brilliantly simple tutorial. I''m a fairly experienced general crafter and 'dived' into felting with mixed results a couple of years ago. Got too excited and carried away without taking the time to learn about the fundamentals of the craft. Wish I'd watched your channel first.

Thanks so much for talking in your video. A few I've seen jusr have captions, &, for me, having someone describe what they're doing vocally helps me because I can focus on what you're doing. This is also a clearly & concisely explained video. Thank-you! 😊

[@feltsbyphilippa]

That's so good, glad you like the videos, I do the talking afterward as I can't needle felt and talk at the same time! Seems to work out, thanks x
