Needle felting tutorial - Mitten Christmas tree ornament
Today I made this little mitten Christmas tree ornament, using a cookie cutter as a mold.
This is a beginners tutorial and perfect for teaching kids how to needle felt. The cookie cutter adds a little bit of extra protection for your fingers
I am a self taught felter and have been hobby felting for about 15 years now.
Hope you find this tutorial helpful. If you have any questions please commet and I will try to respond as quickly as humanly possible.

It smells delicious baking and bubbling away in the oven. Scents of cinnamon, apple and brown sugar flood my kitchen. I am serving it with creamy vanilla ice cream. Hope you enjoy this fall recipe.

@@ariellewhite618 thank you 😊
Just started getting into needle felting and my first project is a fish! Yours turned out so well!!! Thanks so much for the wonderful video, it helped me a lot! 😊🩷✨️🐟
@@kennedy3022 so glad it was helpful to you!😊 thank you for the wonderful feedback. ❤️
Magnifique votre petite fée merci beaucoup pour votre partage ❤
Merci beaucoup!
Too much music, not enough teaching
Sorry it wasn’t to your liking. There are lots of other felting videos on TH-cam using different approaches. Hope you find one that you like.
Thank you for saying which needles you are using. Plus I like how you describe how to make the shapes. ❤❤😊👍🏼
I love fairy houses/landscapes. I will definitely try this and, as a complete beginner, I hope to creates something that resembles this wonderful project. I couldn't tell but did you use the same needle for everything or did you different needles for different elements? My supplies should be arriving this week and I can't wait to get started. Thank you for the great video.
I use 3 different needles...triangle gauges 36, 38 and 40. The 36 is a coarse needle and will bring your wool together quickly but will leave a lot of pitting. The 38 gauge (the one l use most) will help you shape everything. And the 40 is very fine and will give you a smooth finish. I also use the 36 to attach parts...it really knots the fibers together. Let me know if you have anymore questions. Thanks for watching and happy felting. 😊
@@TheHobbyBird This is so helpful. I'm writing it all down to for future reference and I really appreciate you taking the time to reply. Thank you so much.
You’re very welcome 😊
Hi! I'm going to make some of these with friends. We plan on making around 10 of these ornaments. How much white wool should I order for the balls? I'm on Heidi Feathers website and she has 100g of white merino wool for around $10. Thank you!
@kristinbogdonas1369 I don’t measure the wool but I would assume you could get between 6 and 8 balls out of 100 grams of wool…10 if you make them smaller. I weighed a finished ball, the size of the one in the video, and it came to 13grams. I should note that I didn’t use merino wool for this project. I used carded batts…it’s a coarser wool. I am personally not a fan of felting with merino. I find it fussy to use and more difficult to work with. Just my personal experience. 😊
Would you explain needles you are using as you switch them. I am absolutely loving your teaching method. I need help with needles though. Thx for your great work!

Loved this video! Do you think it would be possible to dessicate the flowers and store them, so that you can use them for making syrup any time of the year?
Well I am completely new to this idea and I can’t understand how they don’t fall apart! I might just love this.
The felting needles have little barbs on the them that knot together the fibres as you are sticking the wool. 😊
