1:01:08 Not a felting expert but I dabble. Wet felting is dumping soap and water on it and rolling/ almost sculpting it (In layers if its something bigger!) with enough rubbing to connect the fibers (however - I dont know if you CAN felt stuff thats not wool). Thats what I learned in school, no clue how you would get anything hyper detailed but its comparatively way quicker than method 2: Needlefelting. I did it during lockdown and watched videos, some people can do amazing detail with it but its slow. You either use a single needle or a grip with multiple needles to repeatedly stab your work. And those needles are barbed. Its a rare occasion on which I HAVENT stabbed my finger at least once with it and those barbs can be nasty, tho luckily I never stabbed with enough force to cause bad damage, but they hurt more and last longer than sewing needle stabs. I prefer wet but nowadays I mostly use felting in combination with crochet anyway - either needle for eyes bigger than my bought eyes are or secondary wet felting (iE washing it with soap and water) for stuff like slippers

FOR FREEEEEEEE

[@Kayioki]

Don't know if anyone wants to know this but you can also use black glue sticks for the corners for better hiding the glue marks on the back when you are doing the corners. It's just glue sticks for the glue gun but black instead of transparent.

[@pennychristie]

That’s a great idea 💡

[@Kayioki]

@pennychristie I didn't even know that existed a while ago, so I hope the tip helps out.

[@ChrystalChristie]

that’s actually genius! thanks for sharing :)

Warning on compressed air in humidity climates. You can freeze water onto your parts so be sparing for parts you don't want wet.

[@pennychristie]

Thanks for sharing the great advice ❤

[@ChrystalChristie]

oh damn thanks for letting me know 🙏
