Do the soaps have to be felted again after putting the design on?
Hi, thanks for asking. If the design was Felted on well, then no. If not trying to felt it again would make the design move. You could do a quick check to confirm it will stay put if you are uncertain. Also as the soap is used it will continue to felt more and more anyway.
I hope this helps. Happy Felting 🌬️❄️🌲🤍
Hello, when you're needling the lines or creating something 3D - for instance - how do you know how much felt to use?
Hi! Thanks for asking, when Felting lines, start with less and if it is too thin add on to make it thicker. Also try rolling it into the thin line you want first so you have an idea how thick the wool will be before adding it on.
It can depend on the size of your project in the first place.
And when 3D, I always start with a small amount of wool and build up until it is the size I want. It is easier to keep adding the wool as I go then to have to remove the wool.
I hope this helps and make sense.
Any more questions please let me know, I will do my best to help you.🌬❄️🌲🤍
Perhaps, instead of rushing through 4 bars of soap, maybe you’ll do one bar of soap and explain the process. That would be much more helpful. 😊
I apologize. I was just beginning to learn to make videos when I made this. I made a redemption tutorial on my channel you may find more helpful then this one. Thanks for the sharing. Happy Felting🌬️❄️🌲🤍

vildan bilgiç Mahalo!!
Very pretty so much work for you. I am not understanding the significance of felting soap. Is it sanitary?
Yvonne Iversen Thank you so much!
It turns into an exfoliant without needing a washcloth, it makes the soap last up to 3x longer, depending on type of a soap used and keeps it from leaving soap build up on the counter, sink or shower!
It's beautiful and I think I should try to do this. Who couldn't use a good exfoliating soap.? Now what type of soap can I use? Goat's milk??? Thanks in advance.
Yvonne Iversen Hard soaps hold up the best! I haven’t tried any with Goat’s milk yet. I have had the best luck with Doterra’s soaps, the link to get them is in the description. Gel soaps want to turn soggy.
Thank you for this tutorial. We will be felting soap with a Youth group. Do you have to wait 24 hours for the layering felt (the fiber wrapped around the bar of soap) to dry before adding the accenting felt (the designs felted onto the surface)? Or can we do it all in one meeting?
You are welcome, and thank you! I feel like waiting was a personal preference for me. You definitely could at it on/ not wait for it to dry.
I wanted to be sure it was felted well/ allowed to dry some & the wool to shrink around it. Then when I added the design it was the complete final step. I felt by having it dry, I could also know the soap was securely felted and that layer of wool wouldn’t move around while I was Felting the design on.
I hope that helps. Might be more fun the make the mesh of colors over design/ depending on age group?
It is easy to break a needle tip when adding the design, since soap is so firm. Make sure that is a really straight in & out Felting process!
I also have another felted soap video on this channel that I made after this one. You could cruise through it.
Happy Felting 🌬️❄️🌲🤍
@@SnowflakeForestFelting Thanks for your response. Yes, I think we will do the mesh overlay. We have 14 Youth and that would be alot of felting needles to buy. Wide range in ages and abilities also.
@@carlasmurphy4929 You are very welcome. I’m so glad you asked!
What do you do with the felt once the soap is gone?
Salem Thorup If you make it to 8:00 minutes in there is a list of options... ❤️👍🏻
I am having trouble with my felting needles breaking after a few uses, any suggestions?
Thanks for asking. Could it be the brand they are?
The key is not go in at an angle but straight in & out.
Maybe not felt so fast & hard?
Slow down a little?
I have some Felting tip videos that might be helpful.
Or maybe they are meant for a lighter wool and you have a heavier wool.
I know that is a lot of reasons…
I hope this helps. In more details? & I might be able to help more?!
Do the designs fall off as they are used? I just made some but considering how long it took I sort of don’t want to use them lol
Just curious if yours fell off seeing as they were needle punched on too rather than felted.
Midnight1211 Aloha, I can understand why you asked. I was worried about that too, so I extra felted them to ensure they wouldn’t come off. And they didn’t, I was so happy to enjoy them looking all beautiful until the end! Super neat!
SnowflakeForest Felting by extra felting do you mean stabbing them like crazy? Lol cuz that’s what I did
Midnight1211 Pierced, stabbed and poked! Yep!!! Definitely like crazy. You can do it with the wool wet & then dried, that helps too with ensuring it should stay put. And if you notice in your first use, your design moving, maybe let it dry out again and needle felt it some more!
This is awesome! Can I do this with melt and pour soap?
This is best used with harder soaps. I haven't tried melt soaps yet. If you do please let me know.
I have noticed some types of gel soaps do not do well. We are loving Maui Soap Co. right now. Do you make pour soaps?
SnowflakeForest Felting Thank you so much for replying! I will definitely try it out and let you know how it goes!
I do make melt and pour soaps 🙂
Destiny Sunshine You are very welcome! That is awesome😍🤙🏻
@@DestinySunshine How did they come out?
I am watching you and been fascinated, but how much soap is left after all that rinsing etc. ????
That is wonderful. It really doesn't take much to create the lather, it actually saves the soap. You don't loose much in the process and it makes the soap last much longer!
@@SnowflakeForestFelting thank you for clarifying that....got the wool, now have to buy some GOOD-SMELLY soap
@@TheSwisscanada Of course!! You are welcome!
I have really enjoyed trying different soaps & seeing how they come out. Hard soaps are the best!
Hi I’ve tried felting soap but the fibres don’t seem to stick what am I doing wrong
Aloha! Could it be the type of wool you are using? Do you know if it is a mix with maybe some acrylic?
Are you using some warm water too?
At first it will seem like it doesn’t want to felt. It does take time.
You could try Felting a ball of the wool and see if you can get that to stick. If so than it should Felt around the soap. Use lots of gentle friction to get the fibers to mesh. I’m here to help however I can.
Hi! Do we need to wash it off under the water again after we decorated the soap?
Aloha, Thanks for asking. No you shouldn’t need to wash it off. Happy Felting 🌬❄️🌲🤍
@@SnowflakeForestFelting n what exactly the size of the needle u used?
@@imadafajar5409 I am using Clover USA’s Fine Weight Needle. I have it linked in the description so it should be easy for you to order one. I use it for most all of my projects. I am so pleased with how well it works!
@@SnowflakeForestFelting oh okay.. Thankyou for answering! 😊😊
@@imadafajar5409 Of course! You are very welcome!!
Well, I think this must be an advanced tutorial because my first thought is…where do I find a thing called wool, and it’s wet. Then each bar needs to be manhandles for 30 minutes? I’m out 🤦♀️
This is actually a very simple process. And it really only takes 5-10 minutes to felt it. 30 was to be extra extra certain. They were gifts, I didn’t want them coming apart.
You can find wool on Amazon, I have links in the description you can check there.
Also this video wasn’t done very well. I’m sorry for that. I made it when I was first getting started on RUclips. I have another tutorial on this channel you may find more helpful!
Also look for local sources of roving/wool. It takes a little effort, but worth it! Watch the video a couple of times first. You can also just needle felt and make an object, no need to wet felt. I just made some little pumpkins! There are lots of videos on that too!
which wool did you use? Will Maori work?
Hello! Thanks for asking. Yes, Maori will work and it is a lovely wool! Some of these are Corriedale and Coopsworth blends and then I used some Merino too.
@@SnowflakeForestFelting Thank you so much! Have a good day.
@@martinaturner8362 You are very welcome! You too! Happy Felting🤍

Thank you!
Muy rápido el proceso. No sé entiende bien
Tengo otro tutorial que puede ser más útil.
Hello pls I tried it out but it didnt leather , is there something I am doing wrong
Olufemi Omotosho Hey there, it could depend on the type of soap you used or amount of water? I have never heard of a soap that didn’t lather. What was the soap you used? That would be a good thing to know in order to begin to help you.
@@SnowflakeForestFelting so it has to be a particular soap to use? Couldnt we use any kind of soap?
obaji4me It shouldn’t matter what type of soap you use... I’m just not sure why your soap wouldn’t lather. That is what soap should do regardless of being Felted or not.?!
You really don’t want to begin felting with the lather from the bar of soap you’re wrapping - especially if it’s a luxury soap or you plan to gift it. Once you have the roving around your soap, securely wrap it in a nylon and use a small amount of dish soap to create the lather. Also, it’s best to have a sink or large bowl of extremely hot water (as hot as your hands can stand) to dunk the soap in to shrink & felt the wool, rather than wasting the precious resource by leaving the taps running for 15 minutes at a time. And NEVER cut your wool roving. As for dropping essential oil on the felted soap, I’ve never heard of anyone doing that - but then, I use quality essential oils IN my soaps and don’t need to dump them ON my wool.
@@BurntRaisinToast Thank you for sharing!
The snowflake is amazing! Let me make sure i"m understanding this... you're literally just pushing the wool into the felt with a needle? no extra skill needed? You're surgical with it!
Nicole Hershman-Daniels Yes! That is it! You got it. Super simple! I have some videos planned sharing more soon! 👌🏻🤙🏻
She doesn’t explain it very well. Felting requires special barbed needles called felting needles (for some resason!) which come in various gauges (widths) and barb designs (star, triangle, spiral, reverse). These needles are required for felting, an ordinary needle won’t do. Also, NEVER cut the wool roving as this woman does in the video - it destroys the ends of the wool that otherwise quite easily mesh together to create both wet (water felted) and dry (needle felted) felts.
@@BurntRaisinToast Thanks for sharing!
30 minutes?
Should take less, just depends on how detailed you are trying to be.
You should not cut wool rovings as it makes them more difficult to felt, they should be pulled apart
Christina Waister I thought the same thing. And 30 minutes seems like a really long time. Mine only take about 10 minutes a piece. It just dawned on me that , that might be why she needs to do it for 30 minutes. Maybe 🤷🏻♀️
The cutting was done on purpose, the next time I used this blue I wanted a straight edge of it all to start with. I know most tend to only want to pull wool, and usually I would. The next project it was just important for it to be cut! Sorry if that made it confusing for you.
It usually only takes me between 7-15 minutes to get something felted when wet, unless I have really pulled the wool or part or I am being gentle with the friction, than it can take longer. I said 30 minutes for good measure and ensure smoothness with the wool. Most want to give up too early and this makes sure it is secure. I did make an update video sharing this. Thanks for leaving a comment!
Good tutorial, but seems like a waste of soap. Guess I’d collect it to use to wash some things.
That is exactly what I did with the extra soap too and then with the other I used to put in a sachet with the linens to help keep fresh! Thanks so much!! And some soaps don’t need any sharp spots removed and those are nice to felt too!
How is it a waste of soap to have it come in a ready-made washcloth? You do use the stuff once it’s felted, Jill. At least, the rest of us do.
So ur wasting soap...
Meztli Gomez It may seem like that, however when I used Felted soap compared to it unfelted, the Felted soap lasts about 3 months longer than the unfelted one. To me that means I am wasting less soap every time I use it After Felting it even though you loose a little soap in the Felting lather process. The only way to explain why it lasts longer.
Felted soap might seem like a waste to people who don’t wash themselves. The rest of us use it to clean our bodies. Have a nice day (and please, take a bath).
