The Making of the Needle Felted Retriever Puppy
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 май 2018
- This video combines accelerated and time-lapse recording of me needle felting the retriever puppy from start to finish. It is about 18 hours of needle felted work condensed into 14 minutes.
This puppy is my annual free giveaway item for 2018. Enter to win through May 13, 2018 at KreationsByKrysta/
Materials Used:
A FOAM PAD
It doesn't have to be foam, there are other options out there as well. Just make sure it is for needle felting. You need a some sort of surface to work on that will prevent your needle from damaging the table-- or breaking the needle!
A FELTING NEEDLE
40T is my favorite, but please NOTE that these needles do break from time to time, so buy more than one. A 36T is less likely to break, but will not give as nice of a finish and doesn't grab the wool as perfectly. But it can be useful in thick, dense areas, or to attach legs to the body, etc. However, the 40T can be used for the entire project, as long as you are careful.
WOOL
I used almost entirely natural core wool roving on this project (probably 1 or 2 oz).
The paw pads, nose, mouth and edge details around the eyes are black wool (less than 0.5 oz.).
And I added some tannish wool as accents on the top of the puppy's back, tail, ears etc. (a very small amount-- maybe 1 gram)
OPTIONAL
On this puppy I also used clear safety eyes (6 mm size) which are glued in place with tacky glue. I like to use the safety eyes because they give a shine to the eyes and I can paint the back side of the eye whatever color I need for a given animal. But you could simply make the eyes out of black wool instead (like the nose).
I did opt to use wire (18 gauge floral wire which I then wrapped with chenille stem "pipe cleaners") inside the front legs and tail, but on something this small, and in a sitting pose, that is not absolutely necessary. The reason for the chenille stem is that it grips the wool easily as you wrap the wool around the wire.

Never in a million years did would I ever have thought that 'needle felted' meant taking wool and stabbing it with a special needle approximately 80 billion times while periodically putting more wool on top of where you're stabbing it to make things. I thought it was just a weird fabric that was sewn in a way you couldn't see the seams. That is awesome. Very sweet puppy too.
I know right?!
This is also how felt is made.
:) Thank you!
@@kreationsbykrysta2134 no matter how many times I ‘stab’ it, I believe *you* are a true artist at heart to end up with a tiny lifelike pup!
@@notefromjan Thank you!
at one point it just starts to look like you're viciously stabbing a tiny puppy, which is scary but also means you won at realism!
Sleepy Pup speaking from experience, it’s an emotionally conflicting art form
XD
I don't want to think of someone stabbing a puppy.
it's strange how when some people needle felt, it looks like a fuzzy mess of wool. but when you do it, it looks like a clean sculpture. almost like clay.
It just depends on the look you want and the way you felt (how dense) I think. Some of mine are more fuzzy and furry :) Also I think the more coarse wools might give a fuzzier look. This puppy is most core wool roving which is very soft and lofty. It felts nicely to a smooth finish.
His/hers : a cute puppy
mine: a deformed seal
I like seals........ I just may make one ;)
@@lesliehyde 😂
Seals are cute! Practice more and it may be a regular cute seal c:
I know right
The single video has leveled me up from Lv. 0 to Lv. 26!! I have yet to begin needle felting and have already been given XP in advance detailing!! Wow 👏 amazing!! More please 😊
AWWWWWW I am so glad to hear that! I am loading some new videos now!
what a melting expression. lovely work
Hi Pam! I just watched your Voodoo Doll Livestream and it was so amazing! Id love to see you try a bird in the future if that's something you'd be interested in. Keep felting 😃
Oh thank you Pam! And I am sorry for the delayed reply-- I am just now becoming more active on RUclips and realizing I have a bunch of comments with no replies! I feel bad about that and will try to keep better track of it in the future!
No problem at all, I am impressed you are catching up with them I know comments can get overwhelming sometimes
@@PamDuthie wow, yes for sure! I am trying my best :)
Stumbling upon this tutorial, I believe our Golden fur baby is sending me messages from the angelic realm.💜 She had to be put to sleep last month due to a tumour - so unexpected and so very sad. I still can’t believe she’s gone. 🐕
I am so sorry for your loss! :(
I am a very creative person and recently started to needle felt. Watching you gives me so much inspiration! I am totally amazed at your talent! Just beautiful!
Hey I just discovered needle felting and am in AWE.... wonderinf how a year into it someone also v creative and curious did with it ? If u can update that would b awesome !
Seven Cisdumb me too
I hope you are enjoying needle felting. Don't get discouraged and just keep at it. It gets easier. You can always look through my Facebook page photos and see all the things I have ever needle felted-- I think you will find there was a huge difference in the way they looked when I first started! I also have a few full length tutorials available on my channel now, if that might be helpful :)
Why doesn’t this have more views!? What you did is amazing! I haven’t seen a cuter pup in my lifeee
Wow!!! Thank you so much! You are so kind!
This makes me want to needle felt in a larger scale! What a beautiful pup.
Thank you so much!
This little puppy is ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE! I've just started needle felting but, I DON'T ever see myself having this skill at making something so realistic. I'm so envious ❤
You can do it! I have a few full length tutorials available on my channel now, in case it might help :)
GIRL! That is some TALENT!!!!! Never would I in a trillion years be able to make that...
Thanks! :)
My granddaughter and I watched this and were amazed! What talent you have, thank you so much :)
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it! :)
this is one of the most amazing tutorials i have watched well done
Thank you so much! I have a few full length tutorials available on my channel now :)
I also do Needlefelt, and I love your relaxed method of toes ...... I'll definitely have a go at that with my next Dog xxx Thanks, Claire xxx
Thank you so much! I am glad to hear it was helpful!
Probably one of the coolest things I have ever seen...blew my mind. Awesome job.
Thanks!!! :)
*Imagine that after all the time the camera wasn’t recording*
Lol
This is great. I hope you do more. I could watch it all day.
Thank you so much! I have a few full length tutorials available on my channel now :)
Absolutely amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing your talent, great job indeed!!!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for this fantastic video and sharing the amazing and beautiful result. The pup is gorgeous. I only started to felt yesterday and made a Highland cow which turned out okay for a first attempt.
Awesome! I hope you are enjoying it! I have a few full length tutorials available on my channel now :)
Разве это возможно???!!!! Смотрела, открыв рот.
Нет слов - потрясно! Здорово! 👋👋👋
Beautiful work. He looks so real, like you could breathe life into him. I love how you capture his expression too.
Thank you!
A friend shared a different video on this art, I have never seen this before and it is amazing how sculptural this art is. Thanks for sharing and beautiful job!
Thank you so much!
Amazing works of art. I first saw this kinda work(finished worked) on Martha Stewart show. This woman felted Martha's pet pugs and won a Bentley! I always wanted to learn. So 🐶♥️I am hooked! Mrs P. Mtz. Good job.
Wow! That's awesome!
Absolutely adorable!
Most gifted lady
Thank you so much!
You are so talented love the needle felting. I watch you and I would not be able to do this. The finished result is amazing.
Thank you so much! I have a few full length tutorials available on my channel now that are more helpful-- you should try felting if you are interested. It is really fun! :)
Tô aqui encantada, é muita perfeição! Ganhaste mais uma fã!
Obrigado!
Wool roving is like liquid in your hands. Great camera angle; thanks for slowing down at crucial steps!
I am so glad it was helpful!
12:17 I think it was here that I went from total fascination for your talent to a feeling of discomfort, that you are poking this incredibly sweet puppy with a needle. Beautifully done.
Thank you! Yes, I suppose that could look weird!
Im just amazed watching you take wool and turn it into a realistic little creature. I could watch you all day. How did you learn to do that. It truly is a gift!
Thank you very much! I think it took just a few little projects to get the basics down, especially since I started out with cute/cartoon like animals. But then, over the next year or so, I really shifted to more realistic animals. I have always done 2D realistic animal artwork, so it was a natural transition for me I suppose.
Beautiful work! You are truly gifted
Thank you so much!
I’m beginning to look at felting like modelling with clay adding where necessary, thank you for your tutorial it really helps and inspires other people.
Thank you so much! I love to hear that!!

Oh thank you! I am so glad to hear that! If you decide you want to try it yourself, check out my other videos (fox, cat portrait, Yoda) for links to the supplies you will need. I definitely recommend trying needle felting-- it is a lot of fun and so very different than any other craft I have tried. I only discovered it about 5 years ago myself!
Incredible!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the video. I learned a few things from this. I am going to try a sitting dog now. Thanks again

Needle felting kit arrived yesterday, can't wait to try it out since I have exams today and tomorrow! Haha
How did it turn out?
@@Snj1705 I forgot that I created this comment lol...but I tried and couldn’t do this ‘pro skill level’, so I resorted to making some peas in a pod and some dice cube.
your so talented
Thank you so much!
oh my gosh it's so cute props to u
Thank you so much!
So cute
Thank you!
Just a beautiful job you did on this puppy. So realistic and fantastic details. I love how you did the toes on the paws, thanks for showing that. I hope you don't mind a question :) Did you insert the wire you put in the legs and tail into the sculpture? Or did you just felt the pieces onto the puppy? Love your work, I subscribed!
Hi there! Thanks for your comments. I did insert the wire in the tail into the rump a bit, then I felted it on with wool. The legs do have wire as well, but they are attached to the body only by felting the wool of the legs to the wool of the body. Hope that helps!
Geweldig
Fantastic
Thank you so much!
Wow nice puppy😊
Thank you!
Waaaay toooo cuuuute!!! 👏❤
Thank you so much!
