Some background: I'm familiar with the properties of wool and the concept of needle felting, but I haven't done very much. I've been asked to make a cloak for someone, and I thought a nice wool cloak would be great, with some personal heraldry on the back. The examples I've seen are cotton appliques glued on, and I just kinda hate the look. So I'm hoping to needle felt the design onto the cloak and hopefully it'll look nice and be a durable integrated part of the fabric! The only problem is that wool suiting is so expensive ? So can I make the cloak out of polyester that looks like wool (the ..read more

Digimon fans may recognize this lil green fella as Betamon. My brother is as big a Digimon fan as I and his favorite one is Betamon, so I wanted to make one for him. Even tho it's not perfect, I'm still really happy with how it turned out and my brother was over the moon when I gave it to him last night, which made me even happier! submitted by /u/Pem_Pire [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hello! My ADHD brain has directed me to a new craft! ? I watched a YouTube tutorial and wet felt around a round cork disk to make a coaster. My intention was to needle felt an image into one side of the coaster next. But, then I realized I would be poking holes into the cork piece in the middle of the coaster, and maybe that wasn’t a great idea? Has anyone ever done this with success? Thanks! submitted by /u/Embarrassed_Newt_936 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I've seen a few posts about using wool dryer balls as a base for anything that has a round ball shape. Ornaments, pumpkins, snowmen for example. I checked Amazon and there's a wide range of be prices. Are the cheap balls ok or do I need a specific brand? Any tips on using them? submitted by /u/RaiseExtra8378 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

My friend wanted to buy a needle felted corgi butt, I got the urge to do it, so I told her I was gonna make it for her cheaper than the listimg she saw, using some of her own corgi's hair! I think it turned out great! It stayed fluffy because corgi hair is not the best material, but I think it will hold well anyway! submitted by /u/Zaeliums [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi! I've been needle felting little guys for a while now, and I just noticed a tear in my favourite pair of jeans. I've seen people needle felting in jeans, but mostly cute things in visible spots. The tear I have is in the crotch area, in a high friction zone. The jeans fabric is also starting to get a bit weak around, so sewing a patch might actually destroy the whole thing because it would add tension and weak points at the stitch. I was wondering if I could needle felt a larger zone instead, sandwiching the old fabric between the wool, making it stronger in the process, or if that's doome ..read more
