Simple feltmaking for beginners with Sue

[@tobysinbad]

God bless the KZbin felters who don’t have a studio. I watched some other videos where the people working had huge tables and studios, and while their work was great, I had no idea how I’d get something made on my kitchen table. Thankyou very much for your patience and for giving me the confidence to start a first project!

[@suefraser6512]

Thanks Toby, you really don't know lots of space or fancy equipment and it's such a therapeutic activity.

[@imaginarycanary9956]

Van Gogh didn’t have a studio when he was in the asylum. I’m glad you have found inspiration from this video.

[@LynBugLover]

You can do it on the lawn or driveway if you like. I helped to make a felt door for a community yurt I helped to build. But, nah, nowadays I want to sit down for my new hobbies.

[@paintedwings74]

@@suefraser6512 you're still helping people 7 years later! Thank you, I'm dealing with making a bunch of fur felt from opossum and fox furs, and I was all set up with bubble-wrap and couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do next. Silly, I know, I got that far and the just blanked out on what I was told I could do, but now you've given me that last piece, PLUS how to tell if it's really felted. Thanks!

[@eightiescrazy]

This was helpful, and it was nice to watch a video where people are behaving naturally and having fun.

[@alva7701]

I agree

[@suefraser6512]

Thank you, we did have fun

[@Samosa0.0]

I also agree with it

[@Misstizzylush]

Yay thank you for a down to earth, practical tutorial, I feel confident about having a go now! Just goes to show you don't need fancy pants bells and whistles to get started and make some beautiful art like yours. Fantastic, my neutodiverse brain enjoyed this 🥰 thanks for being humble!

[@tobysinbad]

Wow those pieces at the end look gorgeous! I had no idea you could use it like a canvas that way. Thanks to the camera person for their humour and patience too.

[@suefraser6512]

Thank you. We had great fun

[@LynBugLover]

This is so perfect. Pragmatic, simple, no ego/performance involved. And then, after showing us that literally everyone can do this, she shows the beautiful little landscapes. A 'ta-dah!' moment but presented with nothing but a shy smile. Really enjoyable , and I love the instructor and the little giggles from the woman behind the camera. I am so used to watching verbose American presenters in tutorials that I am always really happy to find tutorials from Brits, who leave space for you to watch without narration. We don't mind silence. And when you're trying to absorb visual information, it's good to just watch.

[@suefraser6512]

Thank you!

[@shannontaylor104]

I just wanted to know how to make felt, I had no idea people were out here doing art with it. This is amazing.

[@laurajohnson1342]

Thank you for doing this like a normal person would!

[@kathleenodriscoll3968]

A lovely gentle voice giving clear and simple instructions.

[@drewdricky]

Showed this video to my students so they could understand better a line in the poem Poppies. Well done Sue! They all love you for being so graceful in your explanation.

[@WatercolorNGouache]

This is the best tutorial I have seen of wet felting. I have looked at so many videos and love that you get right to the point.

[@sperrins595]

A lovely straight to the point video.. and I loved the giggling through it.. I've subscribed and look eagerly to watch more of your videos!.. thankyou very helpful xx

[@suefraser6512]

Thank you, I've just posted another showing how to felt on to a soap.

[@starkitten2762]

What a fun video! You made it look much easier than other videos I've seen. And I love that your daughter is the one filming this! 💕 you two make a great team!

[@suefraser6512]

Thank you, she's gone to Uni now so I'm learning to film myself now

[@suefraser6512]

Thank you for enjoying it as intended, Charity. It was a bit of fun on the spur of the moment & I'm so surprised that so many people have watched it!

[@Samosa0.0]

Do you know that your videos are copied by some people...

[@suefraser6512]

@@Samosa0.0 That's interesting. I guess that's okay if they are keen crafters, after all, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

[@avachaffin5778]

Those little snippets of your felt art at tye end were beautiful!!

[@JazzStolenMoments]

Exactly what a tutorial video should be! I felt (no pun intended :) ) like I was with you having fun and learning something Thanks!

[@boppie1970]

What a kind smile you have! Thank you for making it so easy for beginners!!!

[@natalieperry9482]

Love this video. by far the most practical video I’ve seems since everyone else makes it look so complicated! And camera person is just the best 🥰 thanks, Sue !!

[@fletchforever82]

I just watched a wet felt tutorial and thought noooooooo this is not for me, too much pace egging about thankyou very much...then I found you 😂 thankyou for being so normal and explaining it in simple terms. Love this vid

[@AA-pw5ni]

Su, my jaw DROPPED when I saw your beautiful art with the felt, HOLYYY

[@birdiebobbins]

At last, a clear tutorial that shows you don't need 101 extra bits and pieces to try a craft. I feel like I know what I'm doing now. Thankyou!

[@suefraser6512]

Thank you Rae, it's great to get such positive feedback. I hope to make some more videos soon to give crafters some ideas while we are in lockdown.

[@h0llypops]

Great to see someone doing simple felting

[@suefraser6512]

[@0YourGuardian]

The milk carton with the holes is a really good idea here. I’m definitely going to try making a little bag now using this method. Thank you :)

[@suefraser6512]

That's great! Good luck.

[@EileenParczenwarriorofwellness]

I used a pop bottle and put holes in the cap with a needle

[@margarethunter1913]

I have been trying to get my nerve up to try wet felting for doll clothes. You make it seem doable. Thank you for your video.

[@suefraser6512]

If it's a baby sized doll, you could make a T shaped template, cover both sides with wool and then cut the neck and sleeves holes after felting. Allow for 30% shrinkage. Sounds like a challenge, but it is doable!

[@katojoubert3949]

Wonderful! Thank you.

[@ellawoods8559]

Could I do it with a polythene paper instead of bubble warp?

[@drscottcohen]

I really enjoyed the video. I like the fun the camera person and u werenl having, but maybe get a mic for you so her giggles won't be as loud. But I do want to hear the comments and little laughs, better than the very sanitized DIY tutorials normally on youtube

[@gaelhillyardcreative]

Hi Sue, did you have a stand at Eden Court a few years ago? If so I was thinking about you lately, and then your video popped up randomly in my feed this morning! If it was you, your work is stunning.

[@suefraser6512]

Hi Gael, yes that was me! Thank you. Not much happening at the moment, however I've just posted my first video in about 5 years today.

[@Sorrely1]

Thank you for this. I want my felt to be thick enough to make into a 3d fairy house. Could it just keep criss-crossing layers of batting on to each other to make the end product thick enough to be free standing? I have only done needle felting up to now but for these houses I’m going to be stabbing away for ages to get the batting firm enough to stand up? Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanksx

[@suefraser6512]

I haven't tried anything like this yet, however, I'd definitely suggest wet felting lots of criss crossed layers of thick batting. Have you thought of felting on to prefelt?
