DIY Making A Needle Felted Kitten

- ***Please note that this kitten is available as my free giveaway this year. You can enter to win through April 6, 2020 on my Facebook page***
This is a time lapse (primarily) video of how I made this little kitten. I do have a very detailed tutorial available (Fox) that you can refer to if you need to see the technique more clearly.
Materials:
*needle felting foam pad
*needle felting needles (I used primarily 40T and the clover felting pen as described in the Fox Tutorial. I also used the 36T needle in attaching the head to the body, and the reverse felting needle on the tail)
*clear plastic safety eyes (these ones happen to be 9mm from Glass Eyes Online)
*acrylic paint for the back of the eyes (I used Liquitex phthalocyanine blue and gold to achieve an aqua blue color with metallic shimmer. Any acrylic paints should work, and the eye color is up to you)
*paint brush
*scissors
*core wool roving
*white and black colored wool rovings
*light pink/peach wool batt -- roving would be OK
*darker pink and light gray wool optional -- very tiny amounts needed for nose details and brow accents. For tiny detail areas, a fine marker (india ink) in darker pink and light gray would be acceptable instead, and while I have not tried it, some artists use chalk pastels for these details. I believe chalk requires a fixative, and since I am unfamiliar with this technique I cannot give any advice, but I have seen beautiful results, in case you want to experiment with it.
***SOME IMPORTANT NOTES:
The attachment of the ears was unfortunately not filmed! I must not have restarted my camera. The ears are attached the same way as in my fox tutorial, and this step can be seen in PART 3 of that tutorial. • DIY Making A Needle Fe...
At the end of the video I briefly used the reverse needle (with the pink heart handle) on the kitten's tail to make it fuzzy, but I forgot to mention it.
Also, I trimmed the wool around the edges of the face with scissors to create the shape of the cheeks.

Thank you!
Невероятная милота. Большое спасибо за такой подробный урок.
She’s adorable!
Thanks! :)
I just wanna give her a little kiss, that little kitten's so sweet!
Thank you!
She is so precious i love her.
Thank you!
Beautiful kitty - I especially love those tiny little pink toe beans, that itty-bitty nose and those adorable ears! I’m in love with your kitty!! ❤
Thank you! 😊
A white lion pup, stunning
Thanks!
Gosh I normally just add the eyes after the head is finished. I cut off the posts and glue them onto flat areas that I felt for them. Usually they have lids and it's strong glue so never had a problem and the head is so much quicker to felt that way! Love your work!
That works too! I sometimes use glass cabochons for eyes, and in that case I do it as you described. :)
Precious little kitty. I wish I could do that.
Me too
Какая прелесть!!!!

@@kreationsbykrysta2134 Hello Krysta is it possible for you to needle felt my cat ? How should I proceed ? Thans a lot
Thank you for sharing how you made her. Very cute! I want to just pick her up and cuddle her, but it would make my 5 cats very jealous! LOL. I did visit your page and enter the contest. My fingers are crossed!
Awesome! Good luck!
Very cute kitty, i just loved it!🐱
Thank you!
I think you must be the Bob Ross of needle felting. :)
Wow! Thank you! :)
Your kitten is SO Cute!😻🐾
Thank you!
So cute and adorable. I've only just started my felting journey and so want to make cats, got a long way to go till I reach your very high standard, but I'm sure going to try. Thanks for sharing
Thank you! You can do it! Have fun!
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. WONDERFUL TUTORIAL THANKYOU...Lynda in New Zealand

Amazing!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
this is so very cute. I might not come out with one good as yours but it does make me want to cuddle the screen LOL
Thank you! :)
Beautiful ❤️
Thank you! 😊
You make it look so easy! I’ve just bought all the gear for felting and I’m watching as much as I can before I have a go myself 😂😂
once you start you won’t be able to stop. Start simple, perfect the basics and the more you do the better you get.
@@PetroicaRodinogaster264 I’ve just started making something and it’s now getting used to the needles and how to manipulate the wool (like bending it in half then needling it for example) that I’m playing around with. It is great fun, quite relaxing actually. All I can say, it’s a good job I’m wearing finger protectors 😣😂😂
Thanks! Too handsome!!!
Thank you!
Great work
Thank you so much 😀
Molto bello davvero, sei molto brava, Peccato che non sia un tutorial
Fantastico
So cute! It's also really realistic and keep uo the good work!
*up
Thank you so much 😀
I have just become the new caretaker of Hope! The original winner is a friend of mine, and she just gifted her to me. We had both entered the lottery when she was first given away. I am so excited to have one of your creations!
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
So so cute
Thank you!
Wow ❤️
This was so helpful, thank you!
You're so welcome! I am glad to hear it!
@@kreationsbykrysta2134 I got all my wool today and I’m currently trying to make my daughters hamster lol it’s not looking too bad so far for my second attempt at felting.
Spettacolare!
Thank you!
Aw❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks 😊
Amazing ❤
Thanks 😄
可愛い❤️
cuuuuuuuuuuute💓
Thank you!
Умничка,супер
I just love your needle felted animals. Thank you for sharing your skills, it really helps. I can't get my needle felting to look like a kitten. I'm still trying though lol
Thank you! Have fun felting :)
Got a bit worried that you was going to end up stabbing yourself with the needles but you didn't ,excellent video loved the felted kitten 🐱
Thank you!
O my god, thanks you a lot, I was looking for a turtorial of needle felting kitten for soooooo long. Thanks you:) And the kitten is 1000% adorable, also)))
Wonderful! I am so glad to hear it! Have fun :)
that's freaking adorable, how did u even make it so good?? I need it I need it ..
Thank you! 😄
You are so good at this, she is sooo cute ♥. Thanks for the video, lots of love from the netherlands ♥ And stay safe!
Thank you, and stay safe as well!
I have created a cat which is nowhere near yours but I hope to add to it to improve it as this is sooo cute!
Wonderful!
it's very cute~~~~~^^😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you!
Absolutely Adorable ❤ how long does it take to make her. ❤❤❤
😀
Looooooove it, even though im late for the give away, but I really want it, I'm a cat lover and this cat is soooooo cute
I never really tried needle felting but I am guessing its very tiring so.....
Can u.... Forget it, I really want one it so bad
I wanted to ask you about the eyes do you always buy safety eyes and paint them for all the animals you do? Or do you use different kinds of eyes? I was looking at your other sculptures and was just wondering if they were all safety eyes?
They are not all safety eyes. Sometimes I make my own using glass cabochons.
Do you have a video that shows how you did the faint brow lines and little whisker dots? It’s the one thing I can’t figure out.
СУПЕР!!!🙏💐
Beautiful work! Have you done a snake before? I have not seen one on RUclips except for amateur ones made by kids. I would really like to see one that looks realistic with markings and everything, like maybe a python or a boa.
That's a great idea! I have never done a snake. But I have seen some awesome needle felted leopard geckos! www.etsy.com/listing/221439849/leopard-gecko-lizard-frog-salamander
Would this technique be good for making stuffed animals to play with?
Yes, for older children who are pretty gentle, it could be. In fact, if you use wire armature, they can be fully posable too. I would not recommend it for any young children who might put it in their mouths or be rough.
That is a beautiful kitten but I don't find your Facebook page !
I missed how you got the nose and chin?
Omg so cute ill try my best, wish me luck! >v
Its kinda creepy at first though 0,0
Haha! Good luck and have fun :)
thys ys cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!
Hi Krysta! I absolutely ADORE your Kitten!! I was wondering if you recall the Site you purchased the 9mm Glass Safety Eyes? They're the most Realistic Cat Eyes I've seen so far. Did you buy them that way or did you paint them to look the way you wanted them to? I'm new to needle felting & Armature Needle Felting/Stuffed Animals & I'm going to be making a Kitten that's has the Weighted Poly Pellets to make it feel like a real Kitten, but I'm getting slowed down on beginning my project bc of the Eye situation. Any Side Recommendation for Supplies, that also sells the Eyes would be greatly appreciated! Thank you again! & thank you for sharing w/ us how you made such a darling, realistic little fur baby!! 💕
Hi there Erin! Yes, I do paint the eyes at 0:15 with a mix of blue and metallic gold. This makes a sort of teal color, but the metallic in the gold paint is what gives the eyes shimmer. There are many sellers you can purchase eyes from on Etsy. Here is one like the ones I used: www.etsy.com/listing/578544062/9mm-clear-color-round-safety-eyes-with
You could also use an elliptical cat pupil if you choose: www.etsy.com/listing/958175725/9mm-translucent-clear-iris-black-pupil
I also have the supplies listed in the video description. Some of my newer videos include lots of links to the products I use too. Have fun!
Hi Again! I must've looked away during the Eye painting part & that's how I missed that part w/ you Painting them, but I rewatched the Video & seen what you did & found it even more amazing the 2nd time around. I'd really wish I'd found your Video for a chance to Win this Cutie pie, but I'm just happy I found your Channel now.
I just recently lost my 17yo Black/White Polydactyl, Prince, a Week ago, which has been really harvesting bc my other Cat, Mr. Man (only 3yo & also a Polydactyl) keeps crying looking for him, checking in all his sleeping spots & them eventually curls up into 1 of Prince's favorite Spots (a Priority Mailing Box w/ some fluff in the bottom, Haha!). But it's heart wrenching watching Man look for his Brother, even though we let him see him before we took him to be Cremated... Him mourning his Fur Brother breaks my heart, more than it already is, so I'm determined to figure this out to make a recreation of Prince, but as a Kitten. 😺
It's still amazing how you figured out the 1 Color would give it that realistic shimmer! I truly appreciate the Links! Bc trying to figure out & use the correct wording in searches to find the Supplies you need, w/out knowing what stuff is called when you're 1st starting out & don't know the correct Terminology yet, can be really frustrating, so your response & Links were beyond helpful. 💓
I really do appreciate that you took the time to, not only, make such a Detailed Tutorial, but also Listed all of the Supplies & to boot, replied to questions (many Never respond, so I was excited to see that I'd gotten a reply & you really took the time to give me the Info I needed! I'm very grateful!). I'll definitely make sure to Subscribe to your Channel, to help assist me in learning the Ropes of Needle Felting Life-Like Animals, but my focus is going to be Kittens/Cats/Puppies/Dogs! Haha! Thank You so much again!! Please Stay Safe!!! 💙💜
I have a question, what kind of mat should I put down?
Well, there are so many types to choose from, and I have only ever used these foam pads. If you search Etsy.com for needle felting pads, you will see many options. I think they are all fine, some people just prefer certain types. The foam pads last several years, but they do eventually fall apart on the surface, and also wool gets in the foam, so you have to clean it from time to time to keep it tidy and prevent unwanted wool colors from a previous project contaminating your next project (like if I worked on my little green yoda and then this kitten without cleaning the green wool off the pad, it would allow green bits of wool to get into the kitten--not ideal ;)
That’s is nice roving you are using can you tell me what it is please.
I bought it on Etsy, but I'm not totally sure which seller. I always just search Etsy for what I need. I had this left over from when I made the life size zebra head. It is just white wool roving for needle felting. In future videos I am trying to make sure to include links to the exact products I used.
Beautiful kitten, but I agree, way too fast!
Прелесть клааааасс 💋🤗
I'm so interested in doing this. What cloth material are you using? Thanks for the tutorial!
it’s needle felting wool :)
It is made from mostly natural sheep wool, with some white wool roving added for the fur.
You should make rocket raccoon from guardians of the galaxy, might get hundreds of thousands of views, you deserve more exposure you are really talented! Edit. Or baby yoda, that would get you millions of views!
I have been planning a baby Yoda tutorial for almost a year! Life has just not permitted me to get to it-- until now! I have begun work on it and hope to have it finished and a video created within a month.
Don't know if you still check comments but... how easy is it to start felting? This is super adorable and I'd love to pick up felting but is it really as easy for beginners as it looks? What are some challenges with felting?
Im going to be a beginner soon, and all I can say is... Practice, Practice, Practice!
It is pretty simple, but like any sculpting process, the more you do it, the better your eye will be at capturing the correct proportions and details. But yes, the process itself is not complicated.
Would have been even better if you slowed the video down a bit, hard to really see it taking shape. Not a criticism, just a suggestion. Thanks though.
You could have slowed the speed down using the settings on this RUclips video
Hi Krysta, this is sooooo cute ! Is it possible to have my cat created by you ? How should I proceed ? Thanks a lot
Normally, yes, I focus primarily on pet portraits. However, over the last year and a half I have not been taking commissions. Unfortunately I have very, very limited time to needle felt at this point. If it is something you think you might still be interested in the next six or nine months, then go ahead and send me a message now, on my Facebook page or even in my Etsy shop, and I can give you more information. :)
Can I ask why you put the eyes in so early?
When I use the safety eyes that have posts attached I find it is very difficult to try to add those eyes after much felting is already done. So I add them early in the process and felt them in place.
Can you please make me one? How much do you charge for your kitties?
I'm not able to take on custom orders at this time, but I have a basic price guide in the notes section of my Facebook page, for future reference.
Please put how to make cotton baby cat on needle
je trouve ce chat adorable , mais il est très difficile de comprendre la marche à suivre!!!
como se llama ese arte y los materiales
Se llama "fieltro de aguja" y se hace con lana. Todos los materiales se enumeran en la descripción del video.
Desafortunadamente no hablo español, así que confío en el traductor de google. Espero que pueda obtener la información que necesita de esta traducción.
Lindo vou fazer esse gato cachorro
MI MANDA VÍDIOS passo a passo de gato e cachorro
do you sell them
I do... but unfortunately I am only making 1 or 2 items per year, so I rarely have anything available in my Etsy shop.
I want her because l dont have a pet😭😭😭😭😭
Красота !!! Но хочется на русском языке :)))!!!
Hombre esta muy bien pero el tutorial poda ser un poco mas despacio .q esto va a carrera y no da tiempo a ver nada
Verea
Vreau tutorial în lb română și mă abonez!!!
I prefer no armature.
So do I 😄But.... sometimes I do feel it's helpful for certain poses, and I'm trying to get better at using them 😉
Wool? Next, try making them from cattail and bamboo. And even from cotton candy, for obvious reasons.
Hmm... A pneumatic hammer will speed this up 1000%.
You know the cat physiology very well. How many cats have you poked with needles?? Poor kitty...... You're a bad person!
Haha! That sounds interesting... and maybe dangerous, LOL.
Love the cat but you are going way to fast and need to slow down and Explain in more details
Very nice, but very fast the tutorial, the things that have more details, such as the head, should be slower in the reproduction, you cannot see anything, how bad !!!!
This is a shorter video, not a full length tutorial. I have a very detailed cat head tutorial available on my channel if you need more instruction on creating the shape of a cat face. :) ruclips.net/video/dm7b_ThW6CI/видео.html
