Needle Felt a Ballerina Waldorf Style Doll Ornament

[@LivingFelt]

Please let us know your favorite take away!

[@kathiehand]

How to do the hair in the microwave was my fav!!

[@barbaraszijarto4003]

Adding the laced slippers and tutu with the felt underskirt. Little details add so much.

[@SammiJarrad]

Using the fabric stiffener to help her stay on the tree for years. 😉💜

[@noellerussow9816]

Not having to be purist and let yourself explore was my fave! Along with Kayla joke! 😂

[@RianShafer]

Using the felt underskirt & using the fabric stiffener to keep her sturdy. Also the way to add the string to hang them before finishing the hair.

[@KathyAlton111]

I am finally able to sit and watch the show. I think I'll make a dozen to go on the tree with my ice skaters. Thanks so much.

[@peggyschwetz3953]

I think these arr adorable and cant wait to see them get their wing!!!

[@marylynn5568]

They would be a good present for a young dancer as a memory ornament. Love them.

[@frankieshepherdsmith1321]

Sorry, I was unable to watch live.....enjoying the tutorial!

[@sharonlombard1796]

Sorry I missed your live,such cute little dollies,you are so sweet to share how to make them.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@colleenleighty5715]

Never too old to play with dolls ❤️

[@barbarasea4068]

Favorite takeaway is making the sturdy armature.

[@bethlovesdogs]

Amazing fluffy tutu and all that sparkle. I like having the shorts under her tutu, or even a piece of ribbon from front to back at the top of the legs, like to complete a leotard. But shorts if I can pull it off like yours!

[@brendanelson7670]

So cute! I love all the great tips and little tricks you share!

[@LivingFelt]

😘

[@teresadudik5571]

Love this little dolly idea! New ways to do things is always welcome. Waiting for my dolly curls and braids to dry. I must say… I need more practice at wrapping the wire arms and legs as smoothly as you Marie!💕😊

[@noellerussow9816]

As usual, you all knocked it out of the park! I thought that using the folded ribbon for the bodice was genius.

[@kathyaldrich1314]

Thank you Marie and fairies!! I'm so excited 😊

[@joankillelea639]

The costume, tutu & slippers are genius! Great little project

[@RianShafer]

I really do hope to see a live WW soon. I've watched about 50+ so far. These are very cute.

[@bonnieroberts7098]

Thank you Marie and faeries!!!!

[@jennifercarruth9455]

I love these! And I learned so much. I love the curly hair that you made I will definitely give that a try. I love the skirt! It looks so simple to make once you broke it down for us And I like that you can make The skirt as full as you want

[@laurastidham664]

Enjoyed the show today. I have made many of these recently, and the6 are very popular. Thanks again for the show.

[@careyjones7497]

My favourite takeaway is using fabric stiffener on the arms and legs so they can stay thin x also great news can get Aileens in the UK, on order now x whoop whoop xxx

[@ИринаДашина-л8б]

So beautiful! 💖 Thank you! 🙌 (with love from Russia 🇷🇺)

[@teresadudik5571]

This is a really fun and fairly easy project. I highly recommend it. Makes a wonderful little hostess gift, Christmas package decoration, tree decoration, etc. ❤

[@LivingFelt]

Perfect for gifting, indeed!

[@bethlovesdogs]

These are so sweet and elegant! Thank you so much for the tutorial!

[@sharoncarruth8768]

Love the way you put the curls in the hair, you can have any color curls you want.

[@lorimcmahon8358]

So many clever and useful tips for creating adorable waldorf style ornaments. Worth watching more than once.

[@RianShafer]

I've watched several more than once & saved quite a few to my favorites so I can practice what they are showing. I'm brand new to this & probably should have started with these ballerinas!

[@jenniferr8195]

My favorite take away for the dolls is how you made the skirt and how you built her armature. Overall favorite take away is that you will be offering awls in the future! The Waldorf ballerinas are so sweet! Love them! Tree ornaments or package decorations!

[@magorzatam1621]

I rarely have the opportunity to watch you live, but the replays give me so much joy and inspiration to create.

[@tammihanson4798]

I appreciate having the take away about the 50:50 fabric stiffener to water to seal the thin wrapped areas that are not needle felted. This will hopefully also make hands with fingers a lot easier to keep wrapped while working on the rest of the figure!! Thanks so much!!

[@LivingFelt]

Yes on fingers..see Marie's doll series.. hand video.

[@tammihanson4798]

@@LivingFelt Sometimes it takes seeing and hearing things more than once... or having had problems makes me recognize the solution more readily. After leaving the comment, I went to the doll series hand section on my own. Ta da! There it was! Although, it mentioned "paverpall"?, rather than stiffener. All the more reason to watch your videos more than once!! Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge and experience... and your personality. They are wonderful!

[@LivingFelt]

@@tammihanson4798 you are so kind. It was Paverpol, which is not a U.S. product. And has become difficult to import. Aleenes is less expensive and works great.

[@lteducation2224]

Very cute!

[@colleenleighty5715]

I need to do a skirt for a doll with ribbon and that will work fantastic thank you

[@barbaraszijarto4003]

Love to make these dolls. They make great decorations and wonderful gifts.

[@marilyngizelle724]

I love the new "Audrey Hepburn" necks for the Waldorf Dolls. That was a lot of teaching in one episode. I don't know how you could make a Felt Forward version. Thank you so much for bring so much joy to my Wednesday!

[@LivingFelt]

Love that name! Thank you for your feedback ❤

[@janojankins]

I'm so sad I wasn't able to felt along I love you guys!

[@heatherreadsreddit8579]

These are so adorable! I love the glitter tulle and ribbon that you include in the kit. Adding the lacing on the shoes is a wonderful detail!

[@laurarand-stclair]

These are so cute! Making a few for my daughter and her family’s Christmas tree.

[@LivingFelt]

That’s such a great idea!

[@matthewschulke2779]

Love love love this tutorial! My daughter is in a Youth Company production of The Nutcracker this year and I am making ballerina ornaments for family and friends who come to the show. She has two parts, party girl and lead gingerbread. So, I am making the ornaments look like her costumes as best I can. This tutorial gave me some great ideas! Thanks so much! 😀❤❤

[@fionabarber784]

You know you're addicted when you can't make the live show because of work, but turn the video on as soon as you walk in the door.

[@LivingFelt]

So sweet

[@lauramcnelly3413]

I like the quick version but it helps me to see the video first because I learn so much and of course …the jokes

[@lauramcnelly3413]

Watching the replay.

[@lornaforan1118]

To make a perfect ball, I alternate between needle felting it and rolling it between my palms like making a clay ball or meatball. Rolling it also firms and smooths the fibers.

[@franlosbelloscantos797]

Muchas gracias desde España, tu trabajo es una Maravilla y me ayuda mucho

[@SammiJarrad]

Maybe the new condensed videos could be short cut tutorials. You’re videos are always so informative. Thank you for sharing!! 💜💜🎄

[@LivingFelt]

short cuts... great name!!

[@SammiJarrad]

@@LivingFelt feel free to use it if you want. 😉💜

[@deryatastan5014]

Türkiyeden Selam ve Sevgiler çok teşekkür ederim. bu videolar çok güzel bir rehber.

[@colleenleighty5715]

I’ve only ever heard Ice picks mentioned in murder mysteries lol 😂

[@audreyfarthing4332]

Will the elbows and knees remain posable once the stiffened dries? Best take away how to curl marino. Thank you.

[@LivingFelt]

Yes! We just put a diluted solution to seal surface fibers.

[@HelenaMGale]

Big darning needle or metal skewer if you don't have an awl.😘

[@peppapiggggggggggg]

29:50 some supernatural stuff going on...

[@YorkshireLassWithClass]

why is everything so rushed? surely if you’re going live,it takes as long as it takes! i watch lives for over 3 hours plus,especially if i’m interested in the content and want to felt myself whilst watching you or anyone doing a tutorial etc. i get so frustrated at times because steps are left out or it’s messy and rushed, if you spent less time chatting at the start,then maybe you’d get a project finished and neat.

[@lauramcnelly3413]
