BRILLIANT video. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
thanks for your helping hand and I loved the reference to the children's idiot mittens, that's exactly what I thought of the second you held them up, idiot hands, you can't lose them lol!
This is a far superior method compared to other techniques I've seen. I am looking forward to trying it out for myself. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! I was struggling to make tiny felted hands for my stop motion puppet. So glad I found this!
So glad we were able to help you!
Excellent! Thank you so much. Can hardly wait to try!
This was an amazing tutorial! Thank you so much, I followed along and made a hand in no time.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥳🥳🥳🥳Excelente tutorial 😍🙏🏼🌹infinitas gracias abrazos desde Colombia! 🙅🏻♀️🇨🇴
Gracias!
Sophie, your video was so informative as fingers are one of the most frustrating things to do. The only thing I wish is your video was clearer. It was never really in focus. Is RUclips the only place to view it? Thank you!
Yes, unfortunately this is an old video before we had the great cameras we do now. Hopefully we can make an updated version soon.
I have no beeswax balm I'm going to try CBD salve.
Fab tutorial, thank you 🙂 xxx
Best tiny hands tutorial I've seen, yet! These hands look way more natural. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the feedback, glad you enjoyed the tutorial and found it useful.
Brilliant tutorial and from a Brit
Thanks!
USA Thank you for making these videos. So helpful. New felter here. I would love to order but banner says on website that orders COULD pay more international fees or some such. Nowhere can I see what these fees are so I don't order.
That is a great question! We have lots of customers in the USA and the shipping cost is higher for them. It will calculate this if you go to check-out on the site, but you don't have to commit to buying the items if you feel the extra cost is too much. As for custom fees in the USA, currently our customers have not reported paying extra on their in, but unfortunately in Europe they have been depending on the country. For this reason we have included this statement. Please email us at info@themakerss.co.uk if you have more questions! Thanks so much!
@@TheMakerssUK OK. I placed an order. Just letting you know that even though I have the box on your website checked for USD currency when I get to final check out where it shows shipping prices and grand total it reverts to GPB currency. It makes it look like it is less than what it is.
Te lo agradezco Muchísimas gracias
Brilliant, thank you! How much is th hand pack please?
Oh I am sorry I missed your message. £17 for the kit www.themakerss.co.uk/products/hand-pack-for-making-wire-armature-hands?_pos=1&_sid=9aabfbdc1&_ss=r
Postage too expensive,sorry.
Hola....que tipo de alambre usas para hacer las manos ??? Saludos desde Santiago de Chile..
Hi, we recommend using paper covered wire, in 22, 26 and 32 gauge - here is the link to our webshop www.themakerss.co.uk/products/covered-wire-gauges-22-26-32-36-cm-lengths?_pos=3&_sid=070b6a488&_ss=r
I bought the papercovered wire, the wool, I made the beeswax balm... and I tried. But I need a large hand at least half the size of my human hand. Any tutorial on a larger hand with wire...it's for a sculpture exhibition..Help,please!
So sorry I missed your message. You can do the exact same thing with larger wire. We have a 3mm aluminium wire that is great for this! Please email us at info@themakerss.co.uk ask for Alicia or Steffi and we can help!
I’ve never felted before but I am going to use a simple kit to learn first but my larger project will need a skeleton hand. So for a skeleton hand would I need to needle black felt lines to mark the bones or wrap those around too?
What an ambitious project! Really looking forward to seeing it when you have completed it. You can use black tops that will make it easier to create the lines. Have you joined our Facebook Group - Every One A Maker yet?
Hola felicidades te quería hacer una pregunta eso que se le coloca es cera de abeja o es jabón te lo agradecería mucho si me ayudarás
Hi. What is the ratio of beeswax and oil in grams? I used 1 Tbsp beeswax pellets and 1 tsp of raw coconut oil and the mixture is too soft. Thanks!
Thanks for asking, but this is our top secret recipe! Sorry :-)
probably a stupid question, but would regular lip balm work?
So sorry we have been enjoying the holidays and didn't get back to you right away. My worry with this is that it remains sticky. The beeswax we produce is actually hard and you must heat activate it with your hands. Does this make sense? Please message us at info@themakerss.co.uk if you would like further clarification. Thanks!
Never realised that was why the beeswax is heart shaped
