- An updated and upgraded version of the original. An overview of what is needed to begin needle felting. I also go over basic felting background, types of wool, tools, and safety.
For a complete list of video tutorials and a variety of needle felting supplies, go to sarafinafiberart.com
Your Stabbit Wabbit is the absolute best felting surface! Also your needles are better than any others I've found. I've been felting for a little while, but things feel better now that I've discovered your stuff. I'm so happy!!! Thank you!!
Although the video was produced some time ago, I believe this is the best one out there! Not only do you explain everything carefully to true beginners (Such as me...) but you don't waste time with lengthy demonstrations. You demonstrate exactly what one needs to know. Thank you; I have placed my first order with you and am waiting anxiously to begin. (I was disappointed that I couldn't buy either of the Tool Kits due to being out of stock, but I think I got what I needed to start). I have a feeling I'll be a frequent shopper.
Found a few supplies in my home town. Can’t wait to start. Thank yo so much. I have been watching several of your tutorials. I hopefully will fall in love with this art form 😊
I didn’t have a needle holder so I just made one out of very very firm needle felted teardrop shape, it seems to work just fine and it feels really nice in your hand. Also I feel like having some arm and finger and booty exercises can really help muscle soreness and cramps.
nice idea
You're so talented with the needle felting Sara, amazing.
After watching your tutorials you have opened my eyes for needle felting and all its amazingness :D I have ordered materials from your shop that should arrive next week, im very excited :D Im looking forward to more of your videos
Thank you so much for your explainations ! I'm constructing my own personnages with your instructions,, it's so nice ! it's not so difficult and the result is beautifull. Thank you for your generosity
Thank you for your videos. Instead of investing in a project I can see it I like it first. I will certainly purchase with your company because of your generosity in making your videos. Melody Timm.
This video was super helpful thank you for taking the time 😊🙏
Thank you so much for making this video. Answered lots of questions I had. I just got a kit and I love it but had so many questions which you've answered perfectly.
Hi Sara , i love your channel. I have never felted but would love to take up this craft. Looking forward to giving it a try here soon.
I have much that to be thankful to you. I taste very of its videos, you have an optimum didactics even though pra who does not understand the English obtains to understand the process.
arteira2000: It’s amazing how video demonstration helps me rather than just reading instructions🙂.
I bought some of your wool. Im a beginner. Wish me luck. Your all so talented.
Amazing work!!! I love it!!!
Hola,es una pena que sus videos no tengan traducción a español la sigo desde hace tiempo y me encantan sus videos,saludos desde Santiago de Chile
Thanks for the great explanation!
Great video! Thank you
Great video
Nice tutorial thankyou
Hi I am buying the mouse supply. What can be used instead of burlap pillow if i brought burlap into my house I would never breathe again lol
Hi I'm really enjoying your videos and really want to give felting a try! My only worry is that the things I make won't last long. How long do felt sculptures last? It's a natural fibre so I'm guessing they fall apart after few years? Thanks x
Good information about the basics. I have made dryer balls that were felted with Xmas decorations. I am now making a knit felted tote bag. I want to put the flag of New Mexico on the side.Any advice for making a flat design on a bag? I will felt the bag first since it will shrink more in length so I think it would distort the flag design. So want to try needle felting the flag onto the bag. Thanks, Mary
I have my volume on high and it's still hard to here her. I don't have this problem on other videos
Thank you!
New to felling, now addicted! Supplies in my area are limited and want to order from you. I’ve had some trouble ordering on your web sight and wondered if I call can I do it over the phone?
Hello Sara. I'm just starting into felting. Where did you get your pillow? I love your videos. Very helpful. :)
Thank you so much. I will keep in check. :)
HI , love your show .How do i get start felting?Also how do i get a kited?
When are you ever going to ship the sleepy rabbits felting kit that I ordered??? Bonnie Peavy, Perry, MI
Have you ever made minuature figures for necklaces/keychains?
Where can I buy your wools?
I enjoyed the tutorial, but there were a few words or terms used that I could not understand what was being said or understood. I guess they will be talked about again later. The one thing is the very last tool that looked like a wooden stick. I couldn't tell what she said. Also was it vat or bat? Also, the tool that held three needles and had a pink handle was called clover?
Karan Nixon clover is the brand name. The tool has three needles with a pink handle. This makes it quicker to felt the wool. Hope this helps. I'm new to it too, so my explanation might not be very precise.
Karan Nixon, the wooden pencil/paddle like tool Sara talks about is her Zuli creation. It's a tool that helps the to create shapes (it can keep sizing to be consistent) and it can even be used to measure swaths of wool. The pink pencil needle tool is a collection of 3 barbed felting needles, the green one is the same kind of tool, but contains 5 needles and is used to cover a larger area than just using a single needle...which would take ages. As for the felting surface...Sara (Stabbit wabbit) uses a rice filled burlap bag-like structure that helps you to felt the item you are working on. I've seen other artists use a wide brush/bristle like form and also a sponge like form to actually felt on. I've even seen some people use Styrofoam...although, if be afraid what this will do to one's needles. I hope this helps. On Sara's website, you'll find explanations and tutorials for the other methods and other tools she uses. Good luck.
Your reply is fine. I still haven't gotten around to trying the felting. I received some inexpensive supplies, but have been busy outside. In Alaska our summers are short so we have to take advantage of every day. I will start in the late fall or early winter which will be about October. Hopefully we will have a hard winter so I will stay indoors more!
Do you have a tutorial for the little vases hanging behind you in this video? Are those felted?
Please tell me where to find wool to felt with. Thank you.
This is exactly how we make hair dreadlocks. We use crochet needle.
Don't you find that the needles break more easily on the rice filled cushion.?? If so what else could it be filled with?
marilyn woodrow: I wonder if fine sand would work? Miniature fabric strawberries filled with sand is using for needle sharpening and I made pin cushions filled with sand when I was a girl. Seems worth trying?
@@Gasp7000 you brought me back to moms sewing box. I loved those strawberries. Moms gone now but her memory lives on strong. Thanks😊
buenas noches, no entiendo lo q dice y me interesa . no me da la opcion de traducir a español , en el video de el gnome si puedo traducir pero aqui no. es una pena quiero saber que sucedió. gracias.
Informative, thank you. However, sound a little muffled so some words unclear. Also, couldn't see some of the samples you handled because the colour same as your clothing.
Can i use polyester fiber as roving material?
+Saskia Hartmann Some people do. I have never tried it because I prefer to keep it all wool.
+Sara Renzulli Okay, thanks. :) I'm just a beginner and i don't want to mess up with wool, if i can use polyester stuff for the core too. :) btw. i love your videos. You're so talented. :)
Saskia Hartmann: Some people have brushed out yarns from secondhand 100% wool sweaters from thrift stores.
I can't find your store on Etsy. Can you give me the name?
No Stock? Is online store still functioning?
Do you have a webshop?
Hi you need to be near the mic we can just hear you.
I have hearing problems, but my phone has a great speaker. I can hear her very well, so I’m wondering if your device volume is possibly low?
Looks like she’s half asleep.
I ordered a so-called starter pack for sleepy mice. All it contained was wool and a card claiming there are instructions on the website. However, none of the videos give step by step instructions specifically for sleepy mice. No tools. No instructions. Waste of time and money. Other tube instructions are much much better.
