Here's something I wished I knew....I hated how fuzzy some projects are, my secret weapon is a tiny travel hair iron. The one I have has an outside ridge for styling as well which works great to apply heat to larger non-flat pieces. After I am done with a project, I trim out any excess fuzz, and then go over it with the iron, and it looks so professional and clean afterwards.

The tip to cut away wool is a valuable one. I had a piece I was working on and an area was not working out. I almost gave up on it and decided to cut the area off that I didn't like and try and rebuild it. I was able to add wool and correct the problem area. Wool is fantastic in the way you can mold and reshape areas that aren't working. I've been felting for about 3 years and wish I had started much sooner as well, it's so much fun!🐑 🥰

This was sooo helpful and very encouraging! I’m a beginner, I haven’t even bought any supplies yet. You’ve gotten me so excited to start ❤ Thank you so much.

I know it was just an off- hand comment, but it's good to hear needle felting was easier on your wrist than knitting. I like knitting, but between my arthritis and permanent damage from a broken arm the other year, I can't do it for very long at a sitting anymore, and doing too much in not very many days gives me significant pain. I've done a little needle felting and it seems better so far, but wasn't sure if I was just not doing it enough to get the pain yet, etc.

Yes I agree with your statement; just start felting. I have had some start up kits since 3 years - just sitting on the shelf cos I didn’t know what?where?How? I suddenly asked utube for a basic pattern, and then with the basic skills learnt I went from there. ❤❤

The amount of lil balls I have felted, they are my mine things to give as gifts (I tried to make a chicken today for my friend and they saw an over priced one on Etsy, and I was like “nah I can make that” not the best but it’s soooo cute)

[Lux_EternaxX]

Watched thus just now, got myself a little kit. I knit mostly but I find I needed something new. Thanks for the encouragement!

Thank you for sharing that felting doesn't hurt your wrists as much as crocheting does. I teared up... I crochet ALL THE TIME, but have been looking for something to do to save my hands and wrists and still be able to stay in the same shops/craft shows. I got a needle felting kit in the mail yesterday. Not a good one, but something cheap to try out. I really like it! I made a gnome and snowman right away. Not great, but a good starting point. Again thank you! I will be watching more of your videos

Needle felting plastic finger covers help alot!! Felting needles are made to be very sharp. While felting u can suddenly stick yourself, and it hurts!! 😄👍
Plus you don't want to get blood on a light project😊💖👍

[serenitynovalee]

Thank you for keeping these videos short 😊💕 I have a hard time paying attention, it's embarrassing to admit but people like me really appreciate it! Have you tried using polyfil as a base for projects? I have some and can't afford core wool at the moment. I've been making little things, wanted to try making something bigger. All I have is little samples of colorful wool.

I just got my starter kit today and yours was the first video I watched and it was encouraging, thank you. I am going to go subscribe to your channel and watch your other videos. Thank you for so much information.-Karen

Grr eat things to keep in mind! These can apply to all new projects or hobbies... patience is key! You will not be a master overnight! Also don’t procrastinate... just try it... you might love it!! Thanks for sharing this!! Your work is gorgeous!

I’m just starting needle felting! I’ve never felted anything before! thanks for the video 💗💗💗 happy holidays. 🎄🎅🤶

[lorraineknox]

Short videos are great. I like words of a felter saying Tap rather than stabbing felt .

[cheyannabray]

I just got a set for my birthday today!!! This is so helpful!

[trudythayer]
