Needle Felting for Beginners: Waldorf Witch Doll

[@LivingFelt]

Thank you for felting with us! Let us know your favorite take away!

[@karenwhaley4549]

My take away was how to use the card stock to shape her hat brim, and using the chenille stem to help shape her hat. I learn something every time; thank you for another fun hour! Cute project for Halloween!

[@jenniferr8195]

Love all the Waldorf dolls! Another super fun idea for them, Waldorf witches! These are so much fun! If I ever finish my dragon, I will be making these! Fun idea and I always love your Wooly Wednesday episodes! I do miss watching them Live, but grateful that I now have a job and just so glad I can tune in later! Congrats to the winners! How fun!

[@sharoncarruth8768]

Had to call me back and watch again, I enjoyed it so much

[@bonnieroberts7098]

So glad I can always catch up when I miss a Wooley Wednesday. Thank ya'll so much! Can't wait to make a little witch!!

[@karenblanck7726]

Missed the live again but watching replay now. These witches are simply adorable! Can’t wait to start!

[@Oatsmeall]

I bought all of the skin tones to make these amazing dolls! Now I have a new style to try. I love that you can just layer and pull off small pieces and put them where you need to fill in bare spots! Thank you Marie and the Fabulous Fairies!!!

[@LivingFelt]

Glad you like them!

[@jeanettebaxter8472]

These are so cute. I can see a whole group of them I will need to make.

[@pamelahauman8590]

I always miss the live lately!! Falls during school bus time and I forget. Thankful for replays!!

[@fernmellein3037]

Thank you Marie. I love these little witches. I loved learning their hair and hat. I learn new things every time I watch.

[@marylynn5568]

I really like these witches. Wish I had this tutorial before I made my witch. Will have to make another one!

[@jeanninehausch1379]

I love the many ways that this specific project can be made into different creations.

[@beckahigham8667]

Love these, learnt alot ! Thanks so much 😊 Definitely sharing these with my sister

[@YolandaGonzalez-xf1bc]

I must try to make a little witch. They are adorable. Thanks so much for all the great tips. Big hugs from PR.

[@susiejones1117]

Hi, I missed the live video but will start replay now, thank you for these fabulous tutorials!! I learn so much with each of them. This is my first time and I am in OZ :)

[@susanbeall2549]

So glad you offer these replays I got interrupted during the live show today. LOVE the witch, hoping I get my mojo back, I keep watching videos but have inertia.

[@barbarasea4068]

Love the hat instructions. I have a little friend who loves halloween. She needs one of these dolls.

[@karenzgraggen736]

Enjoyed seeing how the witches are made! Thank you!

[@LivingFelt]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lteducation2224]

Am actually watching the replay on the day it aired - it’s as close as I’ve managed to live!

[@valerie-og4ui]

You are an amazing teacher. No more destroying my work at the end through tearing apart as your techniques are what I have been looking for . Thank you thank you ! My 7 year old ( Waldorf) grandson loves it and commented , no face is perfect , it looks like the puppets he works with. My hat off to you, Marie !

[@jennifercarruth9455]

I really love the hair! I’m definitely going to make someone with that hairdo 😀

[@catherinedemers5719]

Loved learning how to make the hat! Thanks for another very informative video!

[@SammiJarrad]

Such a great show!! I felted along today.. I can’t wait until my witch is done. Thank you LF! 💜

[@LivingFelt]

Yay!

[@evakristiansen4911]

Love the cute little witch dolls, perfect colors :) Such a fun hour. i learned alot.

[@terrihubbell7749]

I like how you made the brim of the hat!

[@cindyhall4767]

This witch is so cute! I am so excited about Laura's two new courses.

[@dawanariley4183]

Love ❤️ the witches. Never thought about using horse hair. Thank you so much I always learn so much. Congratulations lady’s for winning. Love love your video’s

[@trekawenner1705]

I think ill make a few of these for a Halloween tree I made the other day! Sooooo cute!

[@patphares6258]

Definitely a seasoned pro … oozing great tips in her tutorial. Remarkable video…! ❤

[@LivingFelt]

That is a generous statement, thank you.

[@maureenwells7609]

Love the Witches. On my list to do.

[@jennifermcmullen_pearson4783]

Great tip that I always seem not to get right...make it really firm!...Thank you Marie, that is one rhat really makes a difference in a nice project

[@LivingFelt]

It really helps!!

[@rosebri1792]

This was a lot of fun

[@kathrynmaguire8210]

Fantastic tutorial - my second time and I so enjoy watching these.

[@caddibags]

She's going to be so cute!

[@theartcorner]

Wow I just love these witches 🤗💕❤️ Can’t wait to experiment with lots of colors and different brooms. Hugs from Shoshana

[@colleenbudde2366]

Your tutorials are sooo helpful….you have no idea! Thank you so much for your effort and time to teach us! 😊❤️😊

[@RianShafer]

These are adorable! You know by now, with all my binge watching, I have a list of projects to make for my beginner pieces. My sister & I collected figurines with the "no faces" & she does make the Waldorf style. Now I know what she was talking about! When someone has no horse hair etc, you can buy paint brushes at the dollar store & use the bristles for brooms etc. That's my idea anyway. I make mini staffs (papier-mâché") etc so I'm always looking for ideas for them.

[@longlimbsstudio]

Working on a Wednesday is so sad. I want to watch LIVE! !

[@janlynnaddington9467]

I had a great time I’m so excited to do them I’m going to make a whole covenant

[@lauradevers4170]

Cute little witches! I really like all the variations, like the bee doll A lady bug doll would be cute as well. So many possibilities. Thank you!!

[@LivingFelt]

Yes...check the group...someone made a few lady bugs right after the bee fairy video :)

[@mandihardin6803]

Loved loved loved the hat tutorial!! That was very helpful!!

[@LivingFelt]

So 😊 glad!

[@janlynnaddington9467]

I’m sitting here doing a witch stopping and starting. Boy am I glad that it is recorded thanks Marie

[@jillweisensee8524]

Thanks for another fun lesson! Can’t wait to make some witchies! Totally unrelated question, but I can’t stop admiring the palette of colors on the shelf to the right (from my perspective) of Marie’s head - 2 layers of 7 colors. Can you tell me what colors they are? And do they already exist in a bundle I can buy? I’d be interested in carded wool. Thank you!

[@juliaparra2482]

Love your videos! I'm just starting out! Love the art of felting! Cute projects!

[@barbaramcelgunn9811]

Another great project! I look forward to WW every week. A suggestion or two...if you have an interesting ornamental grass,you could use it for the broom. Also, wind some fine colored wire around the broom, from top to bottom or just around the hair/grass.

[@LivingFelt]

Great ideas 💡 👌

[@Xitaychin]

So much fun, thank you! Now i have a lot of ideas, your videos are always so inspiring! This new pumpkin hat is adorable!!!

[@jennifermcmullen_pearson4783]

Can't wait!

[@marilyngizelle724]

Wooly Wednesday is the highlight of my week! I really did have to "step out" of the lesson to take my little poodle (seen in my profile picture) into her chiropractor appointment. The first 15 minutes and the last half hour I watched in the parking lot. (That middle 15 minutes is when I missed the MC-1 color for the witch with Bette Davis streak in her hair.) Wooly Wednesday is the best! And, I really do wonder if people would go for a Kit-of-the-Month club. Hmmm...

[@karenlewis1546]

Marie, I love your tips...corregated cardboard or card stock to make the edges and not poke myself so much. All of your tips are so practical

[@LivingFelt]

😘

[@jennifermcmullen_pearson4783]

Why haven't thought of using the left over cardboard for templates? ....wow, just a ton of tips , thank you

[@ladiebeastie]

Patience is my take away!. Needle felted her body and dress and head. Made her hair and put it on..... made the broom and sewed it to her hand.. then went to put on hat and it was very heavy for her. Also no amount of needle felting would attach it to her head. So patience abounds. making a new hat and keeping fingers crossed. Thank you for the inspiration .... love this little witch. 😄

[@LivingFelt]

If felting head on was a challenge... see our similar dolls from last year... link in description for a different style.

[@ladiebeastie]

@@LivingFelt Nope the head was okay… the hat was too felted to stay on the head. That’s what I believe anyway 😃

[@nisadancerrider8673]

This was fun to watch. Thank you for putting these together. Ordered a kit as well

[@googleuser7454]

They are cute. I like the little dreadlocks one. I might make these this year

[@sandrarandolph4027]

Fun witch, I am going to stop making pumpkins and start on witches! Thanks Marie!

[@splaceanimation]

When I cover the bottom of the skirt I like to add two ovals of black of brown so it looks like the bottom of shoes.

[@LivingFelt]

Cute

[@karenlewis1546]

I have several witches ready to go. This is a great project!

[@vampqueen8895]

I love the witches they are so adorable

[@joycosta5656]

Hi I am new at your tutorials and also new to needle felting! In a frenzy to make pumpkins for Thanksgiving table, I am addicted to the crunch, lol!!!

[@28paws70]

Y'all are such fun!!

[@melindakerner7087]

That was a fun, fast hour of laughs😂... thanks for the sunshine 🌞

[@brendabennett4299]

These dolls r so cute gotta do this thanks for sharin

[@audreyfarthing4332]

Very cute. For the hair could I blend some Silk into merino to give it a little shine?

[@LivingFelt]

Oh yes!!

[@dragonsheckfire]

Thank you for showing how to add the fiber to make the hands and sleeves!

[@laurendoran2717]

Nice to know how to make a witches hat....never figured out the brim on my own.

[@franlosbelloscantos797]

Gracias desde España, es precioso tu trabajo

[@pellings1]

I was excited to hear that Laura Ricks has two new classes in the tutorials.

[@mitchellkimberly8969]

I love this doll. I am making some to put in holloween bags.

[@triciaslater4783]

That was fun. Question…. your MC1 batting is it similar to a Bergshaff wool around 23-27 micron?

[@LivingFelt]

MC-1 is 25 micron... the Bergschaff we have us more coarse, and more slick/ wires. The Bergschaff reminds us of New Zealand Corriedale, but a shorter staple, whereas MC-1 is more crimpy and felts more smooth.

[@FlickSuicide]

I just made the little hat for a doll I made, it's perfect!

[@lindacalver773]

Horse hair is a great idea , I’ve made brooms before and never thought of using it for a broom and we have horses !!! Do you dry the stick before using it and is any particular wood better than another ?

[@LivingFelt]

😁 Marie just fetched it off the ground ...it is quite dry.

[@silverpromidi]

WOW! I was wanting to learn needle felting but thought it was 'way too hard' and now, well, I signed up to the school 😀 The 'broom' is called a Besom. These are cute Witches.

[@jennifermcmullen_pearson4783]

[@pattyvic1]

I somehow didn't see the hat part! Got taken away from the video before it stopped! Hope I find it!

[@melindakerner7087]

She's was fun ❤️

[@meglh23]

Thank you so much for all of the helpful tips!! Would you guys consider showing how to make a little doll wearing pants?

[@juliajeans8652]

Different hairstyles, can’t wait to watch that one

[@trinabecker7055]

Hi from Uk x Mandy x

[@Spookwithme]

Hi, is there certain wools to use? I just tried making the hat and the world from Hobby Lobby, Artists, just seems to silky idk I'm so upset, maybe I'm using the wrong needle, cause when I stab it it feels so thin. I am using a 3 prong needle pen. I'm very new to this.

[@pattyvic1]

Are the horse hairs from. The horses mane?

[@LivingFelt]

Mane

[@Miranda-qu4id]
