I love this tutorial. I have longed to find needlecelting tutorials for so long. Thank you 😊

[@crilda1]

Thank you for being left-handed, it's much easier because I am too, and thank you for this lovely creature. She will be one of my favorites :-)

[@jodiphillips2186]

So glad that you mentioned that you are left- handed and demonstrated for right-handed. I can't wait to try and see how things look when I am not working against myself. (It did feel funny. Now I know why). Thanks for the tutorials, proverbs and jokes.

[@suzieplum05]

My very first successful needle felted piece was because of your tutorials. I did a sleepy rat and I love him. I was surprised how well it went. Thanks so much for making informative AND enjoyable tutorials. Hi to Milo.

[@TiffieBJDCrafts]

Suzie Plum hey! Hahah

[@robertarees1256]

Made my first ever sleeping mouse this weekend. Your tutorials are great. Keep them coming.

[@gracel3320]

I received my wonderful boxes from you and made this rabbit while watching your video, you are a wonderful teacher Sara! Thank you! My rabbit turned out great, I am hooked now! Can’t wait to do more! Love the Zulli tool! Sylvia Buskey💕

[@diannew6066]

I watched this tutorial 3 times about a week ago. I should have watched it again directly before starting on my rabbit. This was my very first needle felting project and I'm discouraged. My suggestion is when you get to the feet. STOP. Watch it thru to the feet again to see how you think you'd like to make the feet because she jumps around a bit. Especially if you don't have the Zoolie tool because she shows an optional way to do the feet without the Zoolie (Zooly?) tool. I'm also having trouble with getting the core to not be lumpy. Not sure what I'm doing wrong but it's thin and thick even before I started to wind it to start the head and body.

[@folkartjane]

Thank you so much for sharing your talents & this tutorial! I've made 2 bunnies and 2 mice! I LOVE LOVE love them! They sleep on top of my handspun yarn in a big wooden bowl. Adorable! They were my very first felting projects and they came out much better than I expected! I think I'm hooked! Many Blessings

[@Kavukamari]

i love hearing your dog pitter-pattering along the wood floor in the background

[@sueellens]

It’s awesome to learn from a lefty! Thank you, from a Fellow Lefty!!! (We are the only ones in our right minds!)

[@4workoutsidethecube]

LOVE your tutorials, they are so helpful and the bunnies are precious!

[@elizabethkelly5923]

I have been spending time with you everyday (really) learning the art of needle felting. I know I have not viewed all your tutorials so forgive me if you have already made the story I would love to hear. I would love to hear your thoughts and worries as a begining felt artist. I sure do appreciate starting each day with soft critters versus the other conversations in the world. Thanks for sharing and showing the sweet and lovely creations.

[@lovingdaisy11]

Adorable bunnies. You do such beautiful work!

So snuggly and cute!!! I can’t wait to make a few!!! 🐰🐇

I just completed a sleeping bunny. It looked not so good at first but came together in the end. Thank you for the tutorial. Looking forward to making a few more. Be well. Stay well. From Winnipeg Canada.

I purchased your Sleepy Squirrel Kit and made four of the most adorable little squirrels. They turned out so well. Thank you for these fantastic tutorials :)

Hi! Im new to needle felt, not even a week into it, and I made my first ever realistic bunny inspired and greatly helped by your video! It was tough! 😅 but I made it! Thank you for your easygoing and warm approach to the subject. I love my bunny!

[@love2learn-itsastorynotasu40]

I did it. I had so much fun. Now I have to make 5 more. Your kit is amazing and fantastic quality!

[@deborahcoffman5427]

Your animals are so life-like. I enjoy watching you, mostly because there isnt a wire structure to make the form! They are truely huggable. Kid friendly.😊

[@traceypurves9518]

Amazing tutorial - you make it look so easy! Thank you 🐰x

[@Mrsangierice]

I discovered if I put 2 cup of chia (beans) in a bag the felting needle is better that the wool bag or the high density foarm, try , love your videos!!! thank fot sharing it

[@Janka007]

Your creations are just soooo cute! I don't do needle felting because I'm allergic to wool, but I really enjoy watching your videos! You make it look so quick and simple but I guess it's the result of a lot of practice.

[@recoveringsoul755]

I wonder if it could be done with something else, like cotton, or dog fur. I know people who use dog fur to make yarn and knit with.

[@ruthannklos3555]

You can make your own roving by using wire dog brushes on regular yarn of any kind. They have tutorials on how to do so. I made small photo prop blankets then brushed the yarn to make needle felted hearts stars clouds and one bigger heart l saw someone take a photo of the newborns toes around the heart.

You have no idea how bad I wanna felt this. But right now my parents and I don’t have a lot of money to get it. I know you don’t need the kit but still. Maybe in the future, but I’ll still watch a bunch of your videos

[@danishgirl8211]

Just get some wool and needle from a hobby shop and give it a try. The end results is not the same but it's still funny. I do that since I live in Denmark

[@oliveferret8740]

I made a bunny! I am a beginner so my bunny is a bit unrefined but it looks like a bunny! Yippee You restored my fun it felting you are a good teacher! I am keeping my bunny awake!. Only one finger stick! What is the name of that wooden tool? I was using a pencil and a flat ruler. Where can I get that tool.

[@agolliver]

I made my first sleeping bunny today. It's pretty good but needs a little refinement. What needles are you using in these beginner videos? I do have to remind myself that you've done this a "few" times, so I need to temper my expectations. I'm exited to create another sleeping bunny!! Thanks for these videos!

[@MsSammySimpson]

Love your wabbit!! Such great instruction. Would you possibly be able to list what needles you use throughout your tutorials - just for the beginners please......

[@Daytona__Meth]

Hi, i know it's pretty old comment but did you managed to know wich needles she used in that tutorial?

[@MsSammySimpson]

@@Daytona__Meth hello, wow that does seem so long ago I made one of these felt rabbits. I didn’t get a reply and I don’t know what size needles were used, but I think I just went to Spotlight and got a set of the only two needles they had but I can’t remember what they were now sorry.

[@Daytona__Meth]

@@MsSammySimpson Haha yes I know, it's been a long time!😂 I just bought this starter kit and was watching this tutorial to give myself an idea and wondering all the time what needle size she was using. But thank you for your answer, it's really nice.💕

[@MsSammySimpson]

@@Daytona__Meth No problem Babydoll, good luck with making your bunny. It is good fun and looks great when finished. I don't think it really matters what size the needle is. I think mine was a starter kit too. Have fun x

[@Daytona__Meth]

@@MsSammySimpson Aww thank you! Yes after all, maybe it's not that important the size of the needles! As long as you're happy with this little honeybunny that you've made. ❤ But thanks again, you are a sugar ✨💕✨

[@love2learn-itsastorynotasu40]

How many bunnies can you make with one pack

[@chachadodds5860]

Gee! I love your videos, and I'm learning so much, but as an old lady, the barking dog was so startling; about had a heart attack. Seems to be a trend in YT videos. I don't think anybody would have a crying baby in the background. Just sayin'. Unlike others, I do like the chit-chat & riddles, tho. I can't wait to order a kit, and start making my very first felted critter; I'm getting the sleeping mice too. These adorable little sleeping critters, will be perfect with a baby gift I'm making, as the extra special added touch. Thank you so much for being such great inspiration & instructors.

[@seapearltoo1]

I'm an old lady also and have the opposite opinion...don't mind the sounds of animals or babies (real life) but find the riddles and puppet distracting from the tutorial.

[@recoveringsoul755]

@@seapearltoo1 Real life (and plenty of videos) include the noises of cats, dogs barking, whining, growling; babies crying, phones ringing, children playing and running about, doorbells and so on. It's KZbin, not a professional film studio and not everyone has the time or skills to edit professionally.

[@_teagan]

that wooden tool is interesting, never seen a move like that. Does wrapping body parts make them come out kind of squishy? I like my figures to be firm but it doesn't look like the parts made on that tool dont get much shaping by the needle beyond being pinned into the posture you want.

What would you use as a substitute for the wide end of the zullitool?

What is the purpose of restacking the wool?

I cant seem to find a Zooley tool anywhere is this something you make or is available else where or an i just spelling it wrong. Edit: Ahh found its Zullitool only available in the US cant find an equivalent int he UK

[@garyd.goodwin4264]

Have You gotten one yet? My sis lives there. I might be able to have her bring one back after her visit in Nov.

[@latenighter1965]

One question. IF you are felting an object into a shape with the needles, and its just not right, can you undo the item? Or is the wool no longer able to be separated?

[@bellah8393]

Love the video. Very well done and easy to follow and understand. The wooden tool, the Zulee? I don’t know how to spell it but where can I find one?
