I really want to start needle felting, but I don't understand how this is needle felting. I mean your just putting wool on a ball of yarn, your not actually making a whole body and figurine out of the wool. Maybe this is another type of needle felting I'm not sure but I just wanted to put this out there. And if you could explain it would be really nice😊
The ball of yarn is merely an armature or base for the owl. The needle felting comes into play when adding the shapes and colors and elements of the face of the owl. You can spend the time and use your core wool to needle felt the inner part of the owl but this method is a quick and easy way to create something.
I enjoyed that very much. Most informative thsnk you. ❤
I loved the felted owl video. After the intro, which was outside and windy, Shayda does a very good job of explaining felting in simple, clear instructions. She stays on task, instead of trying to entertain like so many other people do. She’s a natural teacher. Well done .
Hi I'm legally blind but was always crafting with my children! If you wouldn't mind keep on explaining the way you do I would be your no 1 subscriber for life!! Your such an amazing teacher and I love how you describe every detail. Thank you so much this is what I've been looking for since I lost A good portion of my sight. I do have a residual sight, but it tends to be distorted, but I am learning to use it and I'm grateful that I still have it! Thank you so much for this beginners tutorial❣🇨🇦
Janet Wayne This comment has inspired me to persevere in crafting when I struggle. You're an inspiration, keep on crafting! Xx
Janet Wayne I am sorry but if your blind, how did you write this big of a comment? How did you press on this video? Maybe your just a liar
Simone, you need to educate your self. Start with googling braille keyboards and take it from there. Afterwards I hope you come with a nice apology to Ms Janet.
the only thing is: Janet will never be able to read this until someone from his family read this. btw only an idiot doesn't know braille keyboards exist
Simone Shull I hope you never lose your sight, but if you do I hope you remember this ignorant comment. You must be an unhappy person and I feel sorry for you.
Thank you for your free and wonderful and complete tutorial. It is a gift that even one of my best friends, that was doing it was not willing to show me unless I would pay her, despite the reality that I suffer chronic pain and depression and despite the fact that even though I am on a very tight disability pension I paid her very well when I needed help with moving. She did not even tell me what ist was called. It took me a while till I found your very wonderful video that brought joy into my heart. 🌹🌹🌹
Made my first ever needle felt animal thanks to your tutorial. My daughters favourite animal, thank you so much, she is so happy with it 😊
Whew, I was getting really distressed by the wind sound, so glad it was only the intro. :)
I love the sound, it's so satisfying! :D
How distressed?
I never thought I'd be stabbing a piece of wool... very fun.
Finally a site on felting that is so encouraging and helpful. I was working so hard to try for realistic about to give up and you come along and have been so encouraging TO be creative. THANK YOU
Love this owl! 😍 I've never tried felting and this tutorial was really interesting. Thank you!
PEI is one place I have always wanted to go. I read Anne Of Green Gables as a young girl and that was it! When I was flying to my honeymoon with my brand new husband the sky's were covered with clouds almost all of our journey, until we were over PEI and the clouds parted ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I saw it as a sign I was meant to go, lol. I've been married 23 years and we still haven't made it there, but one day I will ☺️ Have an amazing summer. Love from the UK

This is so fascinating. I don't comment on tutorial videos very often, but this is one of the best I have seen. So clear, easy to understand, not too fast but not painfully slow where I feel like I need to fast forward...great job! I am so excited to try this!!!
I only clicked on this because I love your watercolour tutorials ,I have never heard of this craft ,thanks for introducing me to it ,will definately try it !!
I happened upon this video while searching for Watercolor tutorials. I’ve never seen felting . So cute!
Thank you so much for this video! Just made two penguins with my granddaughter today. She so excited about coming back tomorrow to do another animal. So we are going to make owls, and we will be watching this again! Thanks again for the awesome instructions!
the landscape at the begining of this video was beautiful!!!
It's also Fake! .... the clouds arn't moving on a very windy day
@@Rita-cd9bj so it's still pretty
This was the very first needle felting tutorial I watched and the got me 100% hooked. Thanks :-))
I've always wondered how felting was done. Thank you so much for the tutorial! I am definitely going to try it!
Stumbled on this while watching diy dryer balls videos. I love this and will be heading out today to gather some supplies to make some. Thanks so much for sharing.
I just made my first owl! I moved to Abbotsford BC and a Barred owl perched off our balcony shortly after we moved in.Thank you for the great tutorial!!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I have never heard of this craft before today but now I know what I am going to ask my husband for for Christmas- Felting tools! I am super excited to try this myself. Thank you for taking it step by step and explaining the process and tools so well!
What an excellent tutorial! I have made a few felted animals now and I used a kit for the first one, but this explains it really well, and shows that anyone can start from scratch, with no expensive kit needed. Thank you. I also have a three-headed felting needle which makes it even quicker for the less detailed areas.
what an exciting craft - and you are an amazing teacher. I'll look forward to your other tutorials. Many thanks
Thank you!
You've done an excellent job teaching this art! I find that the best instructors teach as though they're teaching to an alien. I remember a task given to me as a child in grammar school. I had to teach someone how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich as if they'd never heard of any it or any of the ingredients used. You've done this in a similar way and I feel like I completely get it....thanks so much!
That's great to hear! So glad you liked the tutorial!
I have been wanting to learn needle felting for awhile now and seeing this has inspired me to give it a go!
Have fun!
So darling! Love this! Never heard of needle felting before. You're an excellent teacher. Thank you! Prince Edward's Island looks heavenly!
Shayda, you are such a wonderful teacher. I had no idea just how these little guys were made, but now I understand. I do not know where you get roving so cheap, that is an enigma to me. But I will search about. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your art with us. Blessings to you!
Best felting video! I could really imagine being able to do this craft, whereas in the past I'd always thought that felting was completely beyond my crafting capabilities. Thank you so much, Shayda Campbell, for opening this creative medium for me!
This looks like fun. I will have to give it a try. Love your owls. Thank you for sharing.
This is an excellent video for beginners. Now, I'll try my hand at it!
I am so glad that I found your channel. I purchased all the felting supplies last year and haven't used them yet. You were very good at explaining. Thanks for the info.
I love your tutorial! It made it doable. I just received my kit today from Amazon and am excited to learn Thanks!
I love PEI. These are great instructions. I like to hold two or three needles when working on large areas like at the beginning. The owl is so cute!
Thanks so much for sharing. Nice job for beginners like me. And with you voice I didn't get bored as I do with most videos. Keep up the great work!
My daughter and I tried needle felting for the first time today and made an owl each. :-) We are vegan so we used acrylic which I think we should have 'shredded' and mixed up a bit more before we made the bodies of the owls so they took a long time to firm up and flatten and smoothout but we got there in the end. :-) We used acrylic toy stuffing for the middle of the bodies. Thanks for this video which we enjoyed and I have now subscribed. :-)
Welcome to the channel!
Very cute. Love the shape better than the round.
I didn't realize felting was so easy. Thanks for sharing!
pinkscrapper99 easy but time consuming!
Jessica Carlock, beautiful things take time.
Ty ty ty!!!! Brand new beginner and after two attempts I was getting frustrated. Your technique is by far superior that what I've previously watched and I'm now excited to give this another go. Looking forward to watching and learning from more of your delightful teachings. 💖
Glad I could help! Have fun :)
Thank you Shayda for the fun introduction to this really cute craft. Felt on!!!!
Oh my holy CUTEness !! I made that little high pitched sqeeky sound everyone make upon seeing something so cute it is impossible not to! Thank you for this tutorial .. I have never tried this but have been interested in it for quite some time ... SO many crafts.. so little time .. LOL .... Great video ... thanks !!! " )
a very nice presentation. you all the spirit it takes to encourage those who might try but are reluctant. it was fun watching your owl come to life.Thank you
That is such a cute project and your way of explaning the process is very clear. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful tutorial on making this adorable owl. I always poke myself with the needle when I hold the project in my hand.
Me too :( lol
Hi from austria,
thanks for sharing this lovley tutorial.
i'm a beginner in felting, and I tried this sweet owl total.
IT works!! So sweet. thanks alot.
This was a great tutorial! Thanks! I had not considered using yarn for the body of things and that has been holding me back from making 3D items! Thank you!! I can't wait to start!
This is so fun to watch. I'm just starting with this craft and trying to figure out how to add color to cover my piece and this video showed that. Thanks.
Thank you .....love this video, being Closed Captioned makes it super for the deaf !!
I had never heard of felting before finding this video. I'm in LOVE!! I am so excited to get started making some owls for my sons collection! So cute!!!
Oh for fox sake
*I really have to try this*
Hi Shayda! I finished my little fox! Now on to a little monkey. I so appreciate your teaching style! It made me comfortable enough to not worry!
Loved your owl lesson...I feel very motivated to try this craft! Thanks!
This was one of the best crafting videos I have seen. You inspired me to try your craft. Thank you. ❤
These are soooo cute. I just learned about this craft a couple of days ago, which brought to this video. I don’t think craft stores are essential business so they may not be open now. 🙁. I do want to give this a go and see if I’m any good at it. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve had a kit to make one of these owls for months and been too intimidated to even start. You just made it look so easy and fun I think I’ll start on it tomorrow. Thanks
Do you have the Wool Buddy kit? If so, you’d should do it. t’s lots of fun! 😊
Absolutely adorable! I had no idea these were so simple. I'm giving this a try.
This was soothing and cute lol. I'm glad I looked this up! It makes so much sense to shape the base with yarn that helps so much.
Wow, what a talent and they look so cute. Will definitely give this craft which I did not even though existed a go here in the UK. Thank you.
Great project. I learned so much, thanks for posting! Could you add a link to where you purchase your lopi?
I was very spoiled in Prince Edward Island with the local farms and wool mills that sold it :( Now I try to stock up on it whenever I see it in local knitting stores
@@ShaydaCampbell thanks so much. I would love to visit PEI, I visited Nova Scotia a couple of years ago and it was lovely. My husband is from BC, so we enjoy getting back to Canada whenever we can. I found the lopi at various places for about $10 a bundle, which seems a little steep, albeit lovely. I may just use some partially wool yarn from the thrift store for my animal “cores” to save on cost as I am practicing. Thanks again for responding so quickly. I will be sure and watch more of your tutorials!
What a great video. I never knew it was this easy to do. Time to start a new craft project!
Thank you for your great video. I just made my first little butterfly today. I love your owls. I found a little felting kit at a thrift store and now I think I’m hooked. Now to find a wool mill!
Do you just pull apart the roving to wrap the owl form and continue to poke...is getting a kit the best way to start...I have subscribed...love the way to teach this...so you for sharing your craft⚘️
This is an interesting craft. Much more artistic skill than fibre skill required. Thanks for the great, thorough tutorial video, Shayda! And you're right, PEI is beautiful. ~Diana from Toronto

So excited to try felting! Thanks for the excellent video as always. I love the sound of your voice. 👍
You are an excellent teacher! Thank you for sharing this wonderful technique. I am excited about starting my new adventure into the world of needle felting.
These are adorable.
Loved watching this! Looks so easy when you are doing it
Wow! I'm looking forward to trying felting right away... just received a kit from Amazon and was disappointed by the"how to" booklet,(7 pictures on 2 pages) .You have made this look fun and easy,thanks. Plus you are in my most favorite place to visit,lucky girl!
This is So Cool...i did not know anything about felting until about 2 days ago! So very,very neat..I will have to try this soon.Thanks
OMG! This is so adorable. What a great job you did!
I’ve never even seen felting done until I watched you. I think I need to make an owl! I love it!
What a great craft! This is new to me and I will try this! Thanks for sharing; you are really fun to listen too 😊

Amazing! After watching this, I am going to try it for sure because of how you explained it. Thank you !
Absolutely loved this this owl project. Thank you for sharing this tutorial. Your videos are awesome 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I really appreciate the way you narrate your video-easy to follow and understand thank you!
I made a t-shirt saying
“Don’t mess with me. I felt so stabbing repeatedly is soothing” hehee
Thank you for this brilliant and very inspiring tutorial!
This is a wonderful video - thank you so much!! Your manner is so sweet, calm and encouraging - just what a beginner needs!! :)
Your such an amazing teacher and I love how you describe every detail ..I love the tutoring ...Thanks for share.
I have sewn for over 50 years but have never tried wool felting before. I am planning a Harry Potter tree for next Christmas and owls would be perfect ( and I suggest you add Harry Potter crafting or crafts to your keywords). Anyway, before I try to invent a way to hang these owls on a tree, do you have any suggestions?
Debra Holster - I made some little needle felted penguins for my tree the other day. You can use a regular needle to poke thread through the top of your felt and then tie it to be able to hang it on your tree :)
I have never seen this before very interesting the owls were so cute! Thank you
This will be my first attempt at this craft!
Your tutorial really helped before my creations used to be fuzzy but now they’re not as fuzzy anymore 😁
oh lord I just love love love owls...just adorable cant wait to make some...than u so much..
Adorable! I can't wait to try this..thank you for posting!
THANK YOU!
You showed and explained everything I need to know!
I have to make a bird prop for an actor. This felting appears ideal.
Thanks so much for such an excellent tutorial. You have a special gift for explaining it in an easy to understand manner. I really enjoyed watching your video:-)
I never heard about needle felting until I saw a free class being offered at my local library. So I thought I'd come to You Tube to get a feel for the craft. These seems so tedious. I can't imagine sitting and doing this to make the various projects. Maybe it's easier once you become more adept at doing it. Going to give it a shot but not feeling too positive I'll stick with it. But this tutorial is very good for true beginners.
Very adorable!, Owls are so cute to me I really appreciate this video.Thumbs up.
this was an awesome turorial. thank you for the extra details!!! Love this idea!!!
perfect...thank you so much for this video, this is exactly what I need. My sister collects owls so will make a wonderful present...thanks xxx

So glad I hung in through the deafening wind at the beginning in my ear buds. Lol What a great video. Can't wait to try it!
Lol, Yes, that's the PEI wind. Glad you liked the tutorial :)
There is a volume control on the video..... Have you noticed the non-moving clouds on a very windy day ????
These owls are so adorable!!! Thanks for the tutorial!
I'm thinking of learning how to needle felt and your video came up in a search. Thank you for taking the time to really explain step by step what you were doing. That was so helpful and your little owls are absolutely adorable!! You've got a new subscriber!! 💜
If been to Prince Edward Island before I live in Canada so it wasn't such a long drive but it was still very long! It's very beautiful there!
