LIVE: Needle Felt Barn Owl Ornament

[@LivingFelt]

We would to hear your favorite take away 😊

[@brendahodges4174]

HELLO LIVING FELT! Brenda from Northern Ca here, first timer to Wooly Wednesday & im so EXCITED...after quite some time viewing your you tube demos- to finally have the opportunity to participate 😄 I especially love this owl project! Wonderful idea using glass eyes!, will sure add that extra 'sparkle' on the tree!!! Are the eyes something you normally carry in stock? &do you have different sizes? I'm thinking a little 'owl-family' would be super FUN!!! Kindly, Brenda Hodges

Guidance on firmness for different projects

[@karenr7968]

Helpful to learn how to do simple wings!

[@carolynsittler4929]

Started felting about a month ago after finding and watching your videos. I have felted 12 miniature pictures. But after seeing this little fellow I will be making him. He has a lovely face, especially his little beak. A lot of helpful info in all your videos.

[@sherisennhauser7456]

I love the way you break this down into steps makes it so achievable!

[@pjblackmer2362]

Oh my goodness!! I had to sign off early and just finished watching the show. . And SURPRISE!! I WON A KIT!! Thank you so much Marie, so nice of you! Can't wait to make this owl:)

[@brendanelson7670]

I love all your Wooly Wednesdays and am amazed at how you come up with all these ideas! I have been felting for awhile, but I still learn new things all the time watching you. I love how you explain why you do something and share little tips. Thank you so much for sharing your creativity.

[@careyjones7497]

You make it look sooo easy, love your tutorials Marie xxx

[@karenwhaley4549]

Thank you for your guidance Marie; you are such a gracious teacher. I learn something each time I watch. I love how you used the merino fiber around the face for texture and the shading on the wings.

[@brittanyward2914]

This was so fun to watch! I liked the method of putting the beak on upside down and flipping it up. sandwiching the felt in between two business cards was a cool trick too! I look forward to trying this on the weekend! Look forward to next week! Cant wait to see some wet felting. I need all the tips :)

[@jennytreloar9460]

What a fantastic return felt along! My take away was how you made the beak by wrapping it around the needle and placing it at the base of the nose bridge. Also how you added the lines across the wings and snipping them to make them look more natural! Love this! Thank you!!

[@moonfairy100]

I loved the technique to attach the long fibers around the eyes... similar to how we at each hair but I woulkd have never thou but of it. Thanks for all you share with us

[@dodosmamma1692]

Oh wow, this is an amazing tutorial. I’ve been looking for an owl kit or video but they are all very basic. Yours looks more like an actual owl. I’m so grateful, sending thank you hugs from the UK. 💕💕

[@karynnatale9851]

So sad I missed the live cast. You girls are so much fun just starting and I'm already smiling. I love owls can't wait to see how this plays out!

[@rosebri1792]

You are so good at teaching

[@AnnArbaugh-Author]

My grandmother collected owls. She would've loved this one! My fave takeaway is the wings and how to attach the ribbon hanger. It'll come in handy when I start creating my ornaments.

[@joankillelea639]

My connection died on Wednesday, so back to watch with supplies gathered. Thanks for all your efforts & magic fairy dust

[@user-fc3sx2cw5x]

There was no session last week 😩 so glad you are back!! 🤗😍 thank you for this tutorial and for bringing me joy this week. Such a great time to make these little ornaments 🙏🏼😍

[@amyvdham]

Love all the fairies ❤️💕

[@karenmartin4581]

I have a woodland themed tree that I put up for the winter--it needs a barn owl--so cute! I've always wondered about felting feathers--thanks for the wonderful tutorial! I missed the live show and was glad I could watch it later and catch the Wednesday Joke as well as all the "owl-y" puns!

[@kathiehand]

Whoo whoo!!! I am a brand new needle felting. This was the very first live show I watched! I won a prize!!! Thank you so much!!! I ordered needle felting supplies from different companies over the past couple of weeks. Yours by far are my most favorite!!!

[@brendamceachern4527]

Love how you added texture to the wings with the Puff and lines

[@dodosmamma1692]

What an amazing tutorial. I’m going to make this my next project. Thank you so very much for sharing. 💞💞

[@brendabroschard5781]

Marie, I LOVE this little owl. Of course I've got to be different and make at least one in either blue or lavender. My daughter loves owls and puts them on her tree so I think for her birthday in 2 weeks she will get 4 owl ornaments for her Christmas tree. Still having difficulty with wrapping wool since my surgery 3 weeks ago, but I've still gotta try making them.

[@Debiwearing]

I love this. I can’t wait to make one

[@ruthsimpson6659]

So so cute, love owls

[@southpawstudio2123]

This is so cute , I love owls. I see a new project in my future.

[@suziparry7592]

What a great tutorial. I have learned now how to add lots of small details to my owl ornaments; especially love all the wing and feather details. Also fun because I was in the store the morning before this was filmed!!

[@careyjones7497]

Really enjoyed this one thank you x

[@moonfairy100]

I love the tip on how to apply long fibers around the eyes. Your Wooly Wednesdays are awesome

[@mitchellkimberly8969]

Love you idea about the hanger. I make a different ornament for my children every and always have trouble with the hangers. I will definitely make this for my daughter, she collects owls. Thank you for your tutorial. 💖

[@naomicurrier1]

Love this owl! GOing to make for Christmas package ornaments. Thank you for a wonderful Tutorial!

[@Isvata]

Lindo trabajo saludos y bendiciones a todas desde Bolivia

[@bluefish4064]

I just made 2 barn owls , wish i had seen this before hand . Looks like such a wonderful place to work ! If I am ever in Texas I would definitely be visiting ! x

[@maureenwells7609]

An adorable ornament. Loved the way you made the feathers around his eyes. Lovely tutorial.

[@careyjones7497]

So sad to have missed it, have had our first guests staying in with us in our new house since covid-19. Would have been rude to hide away to watch, but I was tempted 😍😍😍

[@susanmartin3779]

I've made two already! One turned about about 3 inches too long! :-)...the second one turned out much better after receiving the template for the sizes of the under body! I'm going to give one to my mother-in-law because she loves owls. I gave her a fantasy owl from a previous Woolly Wednesday and she loved it! THANKS so much Marie and the fairies. I don't know how you guys keep up with it! I have a hard time keeping up with the Woolly Wednesdays!

[@aliciawatt1184]

I love this! He reminds me of my "neighbor," Owlfred❤

[@laurendoran2717]

my favorite takeaway is always watching the actual shaping of the wool, especially getting the correct density. the videos really help...

[@melodycain9882]

I love this owl. He is so very cute. Great technique for adding hanging ribbon. Thank you.

[@jennifermcmullen_pearson4783]

Oh my gosh what a great tip to fold the bottom of the chenille stem back...I always struggle with pokes out..

[@SweetPeaFarmNY]

So darling I can’t wait to make some!

[@darlenesamuel]

Wish I could have watched live but life sometimes gets in the way. My daughter loves owls and I am making her one for her tree.

[@melindakerner7087]

My Christmas tree is bird theme... so this is perfect❤️

[@sweetvorta]

my daughter is just getting into this, thanks for all the valuable information and the encouragement in this video.

[@amyvdham]

Oh no missed you guys. Shame. Hope to see you next time

[@trinkums]

I was working, so glad you post these to youtube. Going to try one this weekend. Thank you!

[@karenr7968]

Great video. No time to reach live but happy to watch now! Thx!

[@juanitalarson5616]

Love your instructions!

[@laurendoran2717]

this was a great skill builder...thanks.

[@karenlewis1546]

This little guy is just so cute! can't wait to make him!

[@beryldavies4422]

Thank you so much The best tutorial I have seen.

[@colleenleighty5715]

Love mc1 it felts so smooth and fast. Cute owl!! We visited with a park squirrel today and named him and I may have to felt one next.

[@Squidriddle]

What a wonderful and long video thank you. my family doesn't put up a tree anymore but I feel so inspired to finish my projects after watching you work. I am almost done with my first toad because I was able to enjoy the video and work at the same time. How you attached the ribbon was something I never thought of I would have tried to build in a wire loop but I love your idea more, I'm going to have to keep that in mind for a future project. Have you guys ever done a toad/frog project?

[@LivingFelt]

Never done a toad...seen some great ones though!

[@reddirtalba450]

This was a wonderful tutorial! I was wondering what the difference is in the triangle and star needles? my favorite part was watching Marie make the wings, love the detail :) Thank you for a great tutorial.... I am new at felting so this was very inspirational.

[@stewiepoohie2979]

Looks realistic to me!

[@vaibhavlalit]

beautifully done.

[@laurastidham664]

Can we get the wing shapes without buying the kit? Really enjoyed the show. I think this will make a very nice gift.

[@LivingFelt]

Yes, we updated the supply list to include the pattern :)

[@jennifermcmullen_pearson4783]

Hello, missed the live...love the owl!

[@aliciawatt1184]

Shoot! I missed it!! Had to run errands on my lunch break today 😭

[@jysk713]

Hello ❤ A couple of questions: - Do the needles get dull? How often should you replace them? - Do you prefer 36 over 32? What would be the difference between 36 triangle and 38 star and 38 sprial, because you recommended you can either use 36 triangle or 38 star? 😊🥰

[@laurendoran2717]

Love me the MC1 fiber. Does the color ever fade in the sun? Not sure how much direct light they can handle and how I should protect the little guys I make. I love placing my felted objects on window sills....

[@suefullergaga]

Hi. My first owl was a small skinny one, now I'm trying to make a bigger, chunkier one! i wish i could buy your fibre. When will you restart shipping to thy UK?

[@LivingFelt]

We are shipping to yhe UK now, Sue :) ♡♡

[@brendabennett4299]
