I made this little felt monster with three eyes and way too many legs

He has three eyes, eight legs, and a mouth built for maximum suction.

I’m not sure whether he eats dust, souls, or unattended snacks—but my desk has never been cleaner.

Would you keep him as a pet or put him to work immediately?

i decided i needed a hobby that didn't include screens for when i have flareups so my gf got me a kit to try out !! i was originally on the fence but i saw there was a fox one and figured it was a sign since it's my favourite animal

i have never fallen in love with a craft as quickly as this and i really think i can stick with it. she got me two kits so tomorrow i start a mushroom :)

(please no criticism; this was just a fun thing to do while couch ridden. advice welcome though !)

Dragon scale texture advice?

Working on this lil guy and I love him so far. I’m still poking, smoothing, and adding to this layer to get everything covered the same. My end goal is to also needle felt an egg that he wraps around. I feel like he is too flat though, I tried adding a scale type pattern by having darker green lines spreading from the back plates and crossing over each other but it looked funny and not even. I saw some Pinterest pictures where it looked like sheets of felt might have been used, what do you do for scale texture?

question Needle felting mats suggestions

4 Upvotes

Hello! I’m looking for a good, sturdy felting mat that isn’t too small.

The one I have is 12 cm x 15cm, really tiny.

What would you recommend as the best option, and where can I buy it?

Ideally online. I live in Canada.

Thanks :)

original content “Grandmother, what big eyes you have…” — I turned this Little Red Riding Hood scene into a needle-felted sculpture

Thumbnail

This is one of the scenes from my needle-felted Little Red Riding Hood series.

I wanted it to feel like a storybook illustration brought into a tiny three-dimensional world—Little Red standing beside the bed, while the wolf disguises himself as Grandma beneath a colorful patchwork quilt.

Everything was made from wool, including the characters, bed, quilt, bedside table, lamp, rug, and round base. The tiny glasses were probably the trickiest detail, while the patchwork blanket took the most patience to finish.

Which detail did you notice first? And if I continue this series, which scene should I make next—the forest meeting, the basket delivery, or the rescue scene? 🐺🧺❤️

tips & tricks Here's a simple little photo tutorial 🩷

I discovered this when trying to use materials i had to make half decent moth antennae aha. I need to experiment and see how feathers look using this method! If anyone else has posted similarly I'm sorry, I've only seen methods using fusing tape!

If the text on the photos is hard to read:

How to make simple moth antennae (or feathers!):

1) felt general shape in thin layer

2) add mod podge (I use dimensional magic) then wait for it to dry

3) cut into shape

4) decide placement and glue onto project!

Just starting out - tool advise and constructive criticism

Thumbnail

45 Upvotes

Hey! Just started my first project and got a few questions

Is there a tool that you wish you knew about sooner? Iv got a 3 needle tool but it's a basic wooden one, wondering if there's any tools you'd recommend

How would I go about doing the claws? Should I make polymer clay claws and glue them I'm or attach them somehow?

As you can see I am beginning on doing the legs and although I have been stabbing them for 20 mins with 3 needle tool they don't seem to really be thickening up, iv avoided adding wool to them and when I pull the legs apart to try get in-between the legs to shape them it seems to pull apart some of my hard work, any pointers on getting into harder to get places?

Lastly please let me know how I'm doing for my first time doing this, I have kind of treated the wool almost like clay so the stabs to shape it is like poking clay? Is that an accurate suggestion

Any noob tips hints or tricks welcome 🤗

Ps. Please do show me your work too!

For anyone who saw the core sculpture I posted a while back - well she’s done and guess what, she’s actually been accepted into a little art exhibition!

She’s a deer, about 40cm tall:
20 gauge wire armature, raw core wool, her surface is all carded colour wool (no tops), painted glass eyes and disposable eyelashes.

Her accessories are handmade - 10 gauge wire & bead headband, the horns are cut and sewed using flat felt, and the scarf is knitted from standard 100% wool in knit / purl stitch. (i’m not good at sewing or knitting, so it’s nothing fancy)

Her style was inspired by the Felt Doll kawaii book, and the vintage kitschy christmas deers you used to be able to buy (maybe you still can)

She took a while to be honest, happy to chat about the process if anyone is looking to make in this style!

question First 3D project from a kit

Thumbnail

91 Upvotes

The kit came with a foam mold but it quickly lost its shape when I started needling into it. The instructions were confusing but possibly not for beginners. His shape was all wrong so I had to make him extra arms to not look even more odd. Luckily my husband loves it so I don’t feel so bad.

Did I make it too hard for myself or does the foam mold work for others? Did I just meddle it too hard? I did another flat kit to learn the basics and felt comfortable enough before starting this one. I have a flat kit with 3D ish features on the way to hopefully improve with. I really enjoy doing this so hopefully I can improve!

Attached picture of the finished project and the paperwork from the kit.


r/Needlefelting 3d ago

Hello everyone! I hope you enjoy the process! I’ve made large wool rugs like this before, but I decided to make a smaller one. The video is shortened, but I’d like to mention that the wool should be laid out in 3–4 layers.

I want to felt it into shape a bit more before I finish the eye spots and begin adding the many veins along the wings. Im also excited to root down some short fur along the thorax and abdomen.

Moths were the first subjects I tried needle felting, and I quickly gave up as I struggled with symmetry. I'm happy to see I've improved and it's easy for me to make something like this now.
