Have you ever wanted to make an art doll, but don't know where to start? I will go through my journey of researching and experimenting all the methods of making an art doll. While you follow along on my journey, you may be making the same decisions on how you'd like to make your art doll. I will cover various mediums and functionality. I will highlight other artists you may wish to learn from, along with providing tutorials. The main focus will be needle felting tutorials, but you will learn many techniques and how to draft your own art doll versus having to follow a pattern. My channel teaches you how to make your own choices from the ground up and how to be a creator. Thanks for being here and please subscribe, like, and comment on what you'd like to see more of.

❤thank you I have enjoyed and intend to watch again 😊
Thank you
Hi, thanks for responding. I meant to fill jersey with fiberfill instead of bits of jersey. I'm soooooooo far from making a face...truthfully I haven't done one single thing lol! 😂
My brain works faster than my hands too and that’s how we end up shopping for all the supplies and not using them lol 😂 never enough time either.
Ok to use fiberfill for eyes i Instead of jersey fabric?
You can needle felt the eyes using the fiberfill but I’m not sure you can paint the fiberfill. Maybe experimenting with fabric medium otherwise the paint will just soak into the fiber fill. Let me know how it goes.
Totally new to this fun creative art form..watching your videos is a real eye opener..I'm 82 and will never, ever get anywhere near your talent...but it's thrilling to watch your dolls to life. Thank you so very much for taking your precious time to share your talents and techniques . SINCERELY 😅
You will be surprised how fast you gain talent. I’m glad you are enjoying your new hobby. I love to learn new things too.
Brilliant I shall get some thread for my face.
Yes sometimes I use wool and needle felt the eyebrows too. It just depends on what look you are going for. 😊
@@leightfootfelts I love the look, clever you
Only just found your channel...the eyes are genius- love your face videos - going to browse through your tutorials - thanks for sharing
Thank you so much. I’m hoping to tape a new video soon. ☺️
@@leightfootfelts Oh I hope you do get around to it, always great to see other peoples techniques - the doll needle idea is great! 🙂
I have a needle felt plush ( bumble bee) And I was wanting to get it to stop shedding. Would using a light wash of stiffener help with that? But also keep it feeling somewhat soft?
It won’t really feel soft anymore. You could try experimenting on a scrap wool project first before you try it on the bee.
Great tips and instructions. I just ordered through your links. Thank you.
Great thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
Where are you?
Posting video as we speak ❤️
It is so beautiful that i am exposed to a new media .thank you
That’s wonderful thank you
Really interesting thank you
You’re welcome!
Love it
Thank you
Thanks for the video = I am thinking if you want to get credit for making the eyes, call it the Leightfoof Technique while you're doing it next time...
That’s a good idea 👍
Wonderful instructions
Thank you I’m glad you liked it. Please subscribe and I’m working on a hands video right now to be posted soon. 👍
I luv this
Thank you!!
At 25 minutes: is that Donatella Versace? 😅
Lol I always see the Easter island statues.
Try painting it with clear nail polish 1st.. it'll help keep paint from soaking in
On the wool? I’ll have to experiment with that thanks.
@Leightfootfelts on the eyes... When you said "I tried painting but it soaks through" I though you were referring to the eyes.. Lol, I have a 6y/o and 1½, I only get to see/hear like ⅛ of things I'm trying to watch. Lol But yeah, as for if I want to paint larger areas, I use mod podge 1st... But small spots, I've used the clear nail polish. Altho it soaks in a little, it kinda fills in the pores a little so the paint don't soak through.. Hope that helps, if you remember, let me know how it works out if you try it
Thank you!! Yes kids and pets are very distracting.
Глазки лучше всего делать из фарфора и получается очень красиво как настоящие❤😅
I agree porcelain eyes are beautiful but it’s hard to needle felt around glass, ceramic, and beads because the needle breaks and scratches the eyes. The fabric allows for the needle to go through. Lots of options for personal wishes though. Thank you for the suggestion.
Hi i have been using you face part one and part two and they have helped me a lot do you have a technique for putting eyelashes on the eyes. As a beginner your videos are great so please keep up the great videos Maxine from UK
Great thank you! There is a video called eyebrows and eyelashes. 👍
Loving your videos just subscribed yesterday .. very helpful u r awesome! Do u have a tutorial doing hands and feet
Great thanks so much! I need to video one more hairstyle and then I will be showing the hands. For feet I will be showing a different jointing technique. I will be using moving forward in making my dolls and I will be using an air dry clay. May be a while for that video but hands are next. Thanks!!
@@leightfootfelts your videos have really helped me improve on my needle felting i just started this craft a year ago.. tku again and look forward to seeing how u do the hands.. my biggest struggle is hands and feet!
Dank u wel dat u dit heeft gefilmd .Ik heb er weer veel van geleerd! Vriendelijke groet uit Nederland.
U bent van harte welkom! Bedankt voor het kijken.
i'm very happy to see exactly what you bought. I'm new to this and the selection of wool is mind-numbing. ;-) I already have a boatload of really smooth roving that I guess I'll need to card to make it useful for anything. This order after seeing your packages should be MUCH more useful. Thanks!
That’s great! the smooth roving you have would be great for wet felting a garment. The smoothness should feel nice against the skin. I’m not an expert on the wool but a phone call to living felt can help you troubleshoot what you already have also.
I got some interesting yarn for the tiny hairs on my jumping spider and was thinking that it MIGHT work for some eyelashes. Red Heart Scrubby Sparkle Licorice color.
Ooh that’d make for some fun eyelashes! Good idea.
I always think of the way the fluffy areas tighten up without poking them like the drawstrings in the waist of pants. You pull one string but it brings all of the fabric with it...if that makes sense.
Yes wonderful analogy, I will remind my viewers of this visual if you don’t mind. 👍
Wonderful video. Your voice and the way you narrate are very calming, while still being informative. I like that you don't sound rushed but you don't just ramble like some I've watched. I also love to have felting videos on while I felt and I can guarantee that yours will be the most used. :-) Thank you!
That’s great thank you 😊 yes I like to listen to felting videos also while I felt. Too stabby to watch television. My poor fingers.
Hola? Como lograr un rostro más juvenil? Gracias tendrá algún vídeo? Saludos desde Chile
¡Gracias! Voy a hacer una muñeca infantil. La muñeca Coraline de la película. Haría los ojos más grandes y más juntos y haría las mejillas grandes como un querubín. Eso hará un niño más joven. un mentón más pequeño también.
So happy to have found you. Ready to graduate to human character's so much out there on animal sculptures but so little on human figures. Thank you for bringing this to us.
Wonderful. I will be showing hands soon. That’s always a trouble spot.
@@leightfootfelts I can't wait :) Liked,subscribed and rang the bell. :)
Thank you 😊
New Subbie and new to felting! I loved watching you create and sculpt! Look forward to the next video!
Welcome and thank you!!
Gracias, Gracias..... están los subtitulo en español. Te amo!!!!
oh Dios lo solucionaste para que funcione?
Yesssss......
I am new to needle felting and wanting to make characters. I made eight ladies to represent our Bible Study Ladies Group and them were a real laugh, (with polymer clay). But, I wish to make more that are flexible and can be put into different positions. You are the BEST!!! How about doing the Golden Girls for us??? I watch you for hours every evening!
Oh that sounds so fun! I wish I were quicker. I started the eyes this week and don’t like them felted. I will post the video but will probably redo them with the painted fabric. Oh well. I bet the ladies loved their look alikes.
Привет, мне нравятся твои поделки, можешь сделать субтитры на испанском? Извините за орфографию, пришлось делать это с переводчиком. Спасибо
I will see if I can figure out how to do that. Thank you. You may have luck holding your phone to the speaker with google translate too. Worth a try. 👍
@@leightfootfelts Ohhhhhh I'II try it too. Thanks a los. You are very kind. . A hug
I’m so glad I found you! It’s so relaxing watching you. I felt no pressure or stress to get something done or not done. Love that! I subscribed! Can’t wait to start a face. Will watch them all. Thank you so much!
Yes no stress is great. It’s supposed to be fun right? 😊
Your videos are perfect love the slow motion. Thank you for explaining so well love your videos!😍
Thank you 😊
Do you have a video on how you made the head and how you connected the head? Thank you! Love your videos 🥰
Yes check my second video I made. It’s basically a ball on a stick. Thank you!
Thank you I got your other videos on painting the eyes now. You are such an awesome person to explain everything thank you!🥰 love it!
Fabulous! I’m glad you found it. Thank you for watching. 😊
How did you do the eyes?? You are going to fast . Like it when you go slow and explain.
Were you viewing the quick video? There should be a longer one that shows me sewing the eyes. My next video I will be doing the eyes needle felting style. This current video they are painted on fabric. Hope that helps.
I love just how you explain everything thank you so much!
That’s great, yes the eye video will be next and I will go nice and slow.
Thanks for showing how you arachnid the legs. Fascinating!
Should be attached
I’m glad it was helpful 😊
As a Canadian, I am fascinated by your accent. Are you in the Midwest US?
Lol yes I have a very nasally accent. It’s terrible though because if I spend ten minutes with someone I start to adopt their accent too. Haha after a week in Alberta I was sounding more Canadian. At least to me. Beautiful country!
Very good instruction. Thanks for sharing this technique
You’re very welcome!!
Do you have a video where you show how you connect the heads to the bodies?
ruclips.net/video/3PZdvJhMYjU/видео.html
The one doll has a needle felted body, one is crocheted, and one is sewn panels. They all are popsicle heads on sticks if that makes sense and then just start wrapping the wire to create a needle felted body like a giant caterpillar. If you are using a fabric body, just stuff the half torso inside the fabric body and stuff with filling. Then sew around the neckline. Hope that all makes sense and you can watch the link above. 👌
You are just the instructor I have been looking for! I can’t wait for your next video.💕
Wonderful! I have a new video coming out today. Thank you for watching.
I am delighted to discover you! I have been felting for a couple of years with some success, but I see now how much better it will be to leave some air in the wool. Thank you for offering your extraordinarily excellent instructions for free. Your skill and your generosity are deeply appreciated. I can't wait to tell all of my felting friends about your channel. Thank you.
Wow thank you so much! I’ll be doing another face hopefully this weekend so be on the lookout. ❤️
Do you have a FaceBook page?
I do. Just look for leightfootfelts. I have Instagram also. 👍
You're the best! I made some polymer clay dolls, but want some more flexible and poseable. These are adorable!
Thank you so much. I’ll be doing some shoes next go round in the paper clay. I’m not very skilled in the polymer. I’d love to see your dolls! The cosclay seems so cool too with flexibility.
Very helpful video. Especially I. Learned to keep air in the added features.
That’s so great to hear. 😊
❤❤great, learned some much thank you! I’m now a subscriber
That’s great! We are wrapping up a studio remodel and I will have new videos very soon. Thanks for watching. I’ve been busy researching some new techniques to share also.
Looking for a doll kits.
I do not sell doll kits, but in the video introduction paragraph before each video, is a list of products I use and a link to purchase them from Amazon. Hope that is helpful to you.
I'm a beginner.. I learned a huge amount, especially about taking.ones time .. about leaving the air in at first, etc brilliant. Thanks for sharing
That’s great! Yes I think finding that balance of felting the life out of something versus leaving the air in to sculpt and firm the surface layer only was a tough one to learn, but makes all the difference. So glad the videos could help.
really enjoyed this, very helpful. thanks.
That’s great! Thanks for watching!
