[@lisap9437]

Thank you for this. I've learned so much from your video, I'm excited to have a go from a photograph. I have a fluffy border collie so I think I'll try a short haired dog first before I attempt to do her 😀

[@juliesfeltedfriends]

Hi Lisa, thank you for your lovely comments, I hope it helps, yes I think you'll definitely find it easier to try a make a short haired dog first, but I hope it gives you the confidence to make your fluffy border collie, she's sounds adorable 😊

[@AndreiaCoelhoprof]

Thank you!!! Is perfect job🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@juliesfeltedfriends]

Aw thanks, glad you like it, thanks for watching

[@magicwormcakes2776]

I love your videos! You made it look so easy, and he turned out really cute. I want to try to make one myself of my dogs, but i was just wondering if the "core" wool was necessary or if i could just use any wool for the base shapes?I'm new to felting

[@juliesfeltedfriends]

Thanks for this, you can use any wool to make the base shape, but I'd advise using a carded wool or wool batting if possible rather than a fine merino roving or tops wool, as carded wool is generally easier to shape. If you haven't already, you could try watching this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3fQY5iVitGirc0 I talk about which wool to use in tip 3, hope this helps, have fun felting, thanks for watching

[@magicwormcakes2776]

@juliesfeltedfriends thanks! I will check that out 😊

Fab tutorial. I live in Doncaster and if you do classes I would love to attend one. Please let me know if this is at all possible. Regards. Tifs.

[@juliesfeltedfriends]

Thanks for this, I'm afraid I don't do classes at the moment but I might create an online course at some point in the future, if I do I'll announce it here on my channel. But thanks for watching and hope this helps.

[@sharlenehreinson5316]

Thank you. How do you clean a needle felted animal?

[@juliesfeltedfriends]

Hi Sharlene, thanks for your question, I'm afraid this is something I've never tried to do, and would be nervous about to be honest. I've just found a website which explains the things to consider really well, I hope this helps: www.acornfelting.com/can-you-wash-needle-felting-if-so-how-or-even-should-you/
