Thank you so much Function of Beauty for sponsoring this video!
HYeeLLLOO!! Welcome to another video where I'm collecting crafts like dragon's gold. This week: needle felting (or wool felting). I was lucky enough to have Savannah come visit and teach me the ropes to make a special little creature! Much chaos ensued, so I hope you enjoy.

You and Savannah seem like such fun friends! I love that she introduced herself by delicately stepping out of a wardrobe, and screaming 🤣
LOL! I didn’t think it was possible, but we found someone who's even quirker than Rachel is. 🤣👍👏🙌
This is how I am going to introduce myself from now on.
Ur frog turned out great😄👍, but girl almost a 2/3 of ur video was just 🍑 jokes😳🥸.
Aw man I wish i hadn't looked at the comments before that happened 😂
I scared the crap out of my husband on our wedding night by jumping out of an old, ornate wardrobe in my dress and yelling "NARNIA!!!". Thanks for bringing back the memories Savannah :D
Rachel should 100% make lil felted mice for her hobbit hole! That'd be so cute lol
That was my thought too!
yess
YES!!!
Yes 1 down 1 to go ;)
I am ALL for this.
I'm loving this trend of Rachel just trying out a bunch of crafts that I'm too broke to attempt myself. Lets me live vicariously through her.
Needle felting is something that looks fun but in practice I found unexpectedly annoying. It also expensive. As I’m probably not the only one who found it annoying, keep your eyes peeled in thrift stores etc for part used kits that people have started and not finished. You can find a surprising amount of stuff that way for next to nothing and at least get chance to try it and see if it is worth saving up for. I thought I’d love it. Two different friends bought me two different kits to try. I hate them both and never finished either. I also tried making stuff at work in a group activity, hated that too. No idea. Seems like it should be fun but I just hate that stabbing motion.
@@dees3179 Oh right, you hated it, so others should just buy second hand junk to try it aswell?
Yo 🔥ua-cam.com/video/rdJ9bsN7JAw/v-deo.html.. .
@@drhannibelle Huh? If people want to just try it for the first time and not invest too much, isn't it better to buy the stuff that is already there and cheaper? That's all they said. Doesn't mean everybody else will dislike because they did. I personally like needle-felting, but never bought one of those kits so no idea what they are like.
@@drhannibelle Let's try a little 'peace in our time', shall we? I believe Dee was giving their opinion on how they liked a thing or not. With suggestions on how to save a little cash, instead of buying things off the big box store shelving. Deep breath. Sorry you're having a bad day. Maybe see you around the interwebs some time. Cheers.

I feel like Rachel is our friendly internet Kindergarten teacher and we’re her paste-eating students with sticky-jam-hands in awe of another one of her projects. 🍄
Perfect description. We have guest teachers sometimes too
I love that sticky jam hands reference!!! 🥹👏🏻👏🏻 (makes frog jam toast and tea for my fellow classmates) 💜✨🍵🍓🍒🍊*don’t worry, frog jam stands for fig, raspberry, orange, & ginger not actual frog.* 🐸💚 Lol!
Totally!
Our whiskey granpa, crafty aunt, and friendly kindergarten teacher.
no this exactly!! I always watch her videos when I'm in that mindset where you just want to color and eat some kid food
Rachel and Savannah together was a gift, genuinely laughed out loud many times, and that reveal video was amazing!
Savannah reminds me of Bette Midler
couldn't agree more, both of them are so beautiful human beings and so delightful to watch !!!!
I'm a professional felting artist and squealed when you posted this video. You should definitely make little characters for your hobbit hole and can even felt tiny pumpkins and whatnot for when you want to decorate their home seasonally.
PS- thank you so much for enriching our lives with your personality, humor, creativity, and whimsy. You're a delight :)
oooh yes, we definitely need autumn asthetic accessories for the hobbit hole. Tiny pumpkins! Tiny bats! Little cups of tea and coffee!
@@brookeg5979 oh! Yes to tiny bats!
@@brookeg5979 I thought this said "autumn autistic accessories" and I temporarily felt so seen 😂
Tiny pumpkins. Let that sink in... Autumn-felty-whimsical-GOODNESSSSSSS!
YOS
Lol the editing made this even better! I had such a freaking blast doing this with you! We have to meet up again and do some other chaotic crafts 😂🤠
Savannah, you were a blast to watch. You and Rachel are obviously perfect partners in felting and crime.
I really enjoyed watching you and Rachel just be silly and enjoy each other’s company. I absolutely loved your pink “air conditioning” outfit. So pretty!
You guys were brilliant together ...now i want to stab things!
This was so fun to watch, and I love your style!
Queen
I think what we need now is a Rachel and Savannah’s crafting show this was too good
Yessssss
I SECOND MOTION
I also vote for this crafting show!!!
Yes it would be awesome. 😍
Seconded! More of these two together please!
Rachel: Lets try needle felting!
Immediately makes giant frog where most people make a small ball with ears.
For a first time needlefelting project, she done good.
The first time I tried needle felting I tried making a little cat head with ears. I made the ball and never continued. It was also the last time I tried it
I made a tiny dog idk what I was thinking, it was hard to attach stuff because it was small, had to fix some parts years later (because I got back into the craft)
Love how the hair gems increased and decreased in number constantly throughout this video! You guys seemed like you had so much fun and it was such a good time to watch!!
At first I thought “Rachel, you have styrofoam in your hair!” But soon realized they were little gems 😍 lighting can trick the eye so easily, but the gems and Savannah were a treat!
The reveal montage feels like the opening credits to a cozy off-brand 60s family show. Savannah gave me big Bewitched vibes ✨️
I thought the same thing re. Bewitched! haha was just about to comment it
This reveal montage is probably my favorite part of the video.
OMG that scene when you showed him and then a head shot floating in space off to the right..... hysterical 😭 great job on the frog, the overalls, the flap, the banjo, the toadstool, the production, the video, the friendship, the popping out the wardrobe, the pond shot of the real frog, both holding his hands and spinning him...... so creative.....so funny...... so many things...... so enjoyable to watch..... Thank you both ❤️❤️
LOL! I didn’t think it was possible, but we found someone who's even quirker than Rachel is. 🤣👍👏🙌
For me, the plaid "Ass Hatch" to see the wee cute buns - "Chef's Kiss!"
Savannah is HILARIOUS, I died when she started singing and flapping her dress around for "air conditioning" 😂🤣you two also have a very similar voice ! Too cute!
very similar voices!!! I thought that too! 😄
Omg I love Savannah. Didn't know her before this but she's like a parallel universe version of you 🤣
Her humor is *chefs kiss *
same!!!! she's awesome!!!
I love how Rachels hair is getting more and more bedazzled the more time she spends with Savannah
"The Children Beneath the Lily Pads" sounds like a book I would have LOVED in Primary School.
Maybe her next vid can be about her adventures in creating a childrens' book by that name??
@@iprobablyforgotsomething That would be FANTASTIC.
I am 150% on board for the "Rachel tries this new craft thing" series!
When Nicholas has had it up to his ears with little, miniature, tiny, adorable, felt creatures all around the house, be sure to make a teeny-tiny wittle nicholas and give it to him as a peace offering 😂
Adored the little frog man and your video, as always! Thanks for making such fun content! :D
You mean a voodoo doll...? 😅
I just wanted to share a fun story. I recently showed my mum (whose age I will not ~expose~) one of your videos. She loved making clothes and knick knacks when she was younger. Now when we get to hang out and relax, she asks me to put "the woman" up on her TV and quietly hmms to herself "yes" when she agrees with your sewing decisions 😂 and "oh silly" when frodo lies atop your patterns. Every video finishes with "oh that's just gorgeous, she's got the look!" She laughs and has a great time. She told me to let you know that she loves your show. You are her first and only favourite UA-camr! ♥️
i’ve never seen someone match rachel’s energy as perfectly as savannah
Savannah literally looks like a bubblegum fairy, she's great! And needle felting is soooo fun, so I'm not complaining about yet another craft being added to the channel
Savannah just feels like one of the coolest people ever and the froggy is really cute. Go play that Rainbow Connection.
I INSTANTLY fell in love with Savannah, I've not ever heard of her before and she is such a fun personality, am now off to binge her channel. Hope you make many more mini-felts and mini-mice-houses!!!
I love her confident energy. Just being herself unapologetically. Definitely giving her a follow. You guys look like you're having alot of fun, reminds me of my neighbor/garden buddy. Next time do this but with wine.
The friendship and comedic chemistry going on is just too good for this to NOT be a regular installment on you guys' channels.
What an icon, even at an expo, she won’t leave us without content ❤️
🙄
@@wanya_telborn what’s with the attitude
@@wanya_telborn girl bye your whole personality is commenting rude stuff in this channel. 48 COMMENTS ON THIS CHANNEL girl get a life
@@wanya_telborn Jealous late-middle aged women whose channel is devoid of content and who clearly isn’t getting enough attention from anyone in her life or Russian troll? It’s a mystery.
The energy of these two ladies was the thing I didn't know I needed. Savannah and Rachel are just the friends I would love to chit chat with (and to make cute little felted froggies with, obviously) !
Right? This was the best reveal ever for that very reason!
Absolutely in love with how cute that little frog is! His accessories are perfection, and I love his little outfit. The butt flat was an excellent idea, one must be able to view shapely froggy butt cheeks when the whim strikes! He looks so much like the image on the pillow - well done for your first needle felting attempt!
i'm so in love with the dynamic between rachel and savannah. both are absolutely hilarious and the references made me laugh every time
I wish I had friends like you and Savannah in my life; style icons, insanely talented, able to keep up with the random references and engage in mutual oddness. What a pair of legends. 😊
10000% agreed!!!!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍
This was such a treat! My husband watched a good bit of this with me and he thinks the line "for the children below" makes sense since tadpoles live in water until they mature. 🐸
I could watch 80 more videos of you and Savannah. This was some straight up wholesome delightful crafting chaos and I. AM. HERE. FOR. IT.
Ballerina Toad-Boy-No-Neck Freddy Three Toes looks tsundere and is SO adorable, I'm so in love with this froggie!! For your first project it looks sooo good!! Can't wait to see you bringing more adorableness needle felting creatures into this world!
"tsundere" oh my goodness yes 🤣🤣
I am currently in a residential hospital for my OCD and I miss home so much. I'm in a whole different state. And I watch your videos to make me feel safe and warm! I'm so grateful for you and that you share with us! Thank you. It makes my stay here a little easier.
That was my most favorite video you have ever made because you look like you are having a wonderful time with your friend. You always look like you are having great fun in your videos but this time you looked even happier than normal. Love the Froggo
The mascot we didn't know we needed. But the mascot we damn well deserve.
This was the cutest, most wholesome chaotic thing. I love all of it. Hope Savannah can come back for more videos in the future!
rachel and savannahs energy combined is AMAZING
The montage towards the end made me so happy.
That reveal made my whole day 😂 love vicariously doing all the crafts through Rachel!
OMG arguably the best reveal yet- just based on the comedy…🤣😂🤣☠️ I just can’t. Just when I think Rachel can’t be any more hilarious we get her pink haired side kick! Love you both *edited to say Savannah is a superhero 🦸♀️
Not you calling Savanah “her pink haired side kick” 😭
@@epice5452 your right! She is much more than that! Love her! She is a superhero!
I started needle felting in lockdown 2020 - I made a Bumblebee 🐝 (a beginners kit) , I made a cat for my sister (she has a cat) which was a bit more challenging but i changed it slightly to make it more personal to her and some succulents for my bedroom as I wanted some greenery. It’s so much fun and relaxing, once you learn the basics anything is possible 👍🏻
Savannah full on has fairy craft mother vibes and I am here for it! You're both so precious!
Oh my goodness! I just about choked to see the functional butt flap... 🤣
I have always wanted to learn how to needle felt! I’m totally loving this Rachel Learns New Crafts series. This was so much fun, and your banjo-playing frog and his little mushroom are perfect. The reveal was my absolute favorite thing ever!
Hands down the best reveal you've ever done and that I've ever seen. Two webbed fingers up over here 👏🐸
Uh oh
I have to try this now. Your froggy gentlemen turned out too cute 😳
I never knew the amount of joy that could come from Frog Cheeks. This was an absolute treasure to experience. It's so adorable! As are you both! 💕
I would just LOVE to see more collabs with you two, I'd even watch you both talk about literal paint drying youre both so funny together
This reveal is too funny😂😂😂 you guys are a dynamic duo
For your first stab at needle felting, he looks absolutely amazing! 🐸
I see what you did there, wink wink, lol
@@languageresources2314 😁
Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk! Good one!
I actually laughed out loud with the "puts the lotion on the skin" while stabbing Ballerina Toad 🤣 ❤️
This was so fun to watch, and congratulations Rachel, for learning something new while making something beautiful
I can't get over how happy you look in this video. Clearly doing things like this is your jam and I am HERE for it
She does look really glowy but also that sheen that comes from perspiring in a very warm place. 🥵🥵I can relate between SW heat in the US and hot flashes, I glow a lot. 😆🙄
Oh my Goodness he's adorable. I've done several needle felting projects and they aren't easy! Savannah is so sweet and adorable!🤗😘😁
He’s literally the cutest thing I’ve ever seen
First of all, little froggie boy came out so cute. The reveal was perfect I was giggling all throughout this video. Second, Savannah is so funny, I'm so glad she came and taught you such a cute hobby. More savannah!!!!!
First of all Savannah is ADORABLE! Ran over to her channel.
Second: I have wanted to do felting for several years! I love that this craft is getting attention.
Third: I spit coffee on my phone twice watching this, I want to be in this friend circle.
Thank you for the video !!
I never had the urge to needle felt, but you guys make it look like a lot of fun! Side note: You both have amazing hair 💕
Were you distracted by the white dots that were in their hair all of a sudden? It took me a minute to realize they were crystal decorations for the hair and not styrofoam pieces. 🤭 I was like ‘where the styrofoam come from and how come her friend is just letting it stay there on camera?! 😆😆
@@angb6616 Haha, I was also confused by those until I realized they sparkled 😄
I love this little man so much.
Omg, love the felted frog… so cute
You and Savannah are absolutely hilarious together! The needle felting lesson and the beautiful banjo frog were just the icing on the cake of this goofy fun fest!
That montage at the end was hilarious 😆! I’m glad I’d already finished my coffee or I would have had it streaming out of my nose, I laughed so hard! Great way to end the week! Keep making amazing, quirky and creative videos 🤪
literally the first 5 seconds of meeting savannah made me fall in love, oh my goodness what a wonderful video
We need more Savannah! She’s such a vibe :3
Everything about this video is exactly the chaotic creative energy I crave
There were just too many things in this video I loved to comment
my airbending skills are unmatched 😎
The reveal brought me so much joy to watch! This was such a ✨delight✨
He's ADORABLE! And wow, that was an ambitious first needle felting project! It turned out amazing though. My first one was a tiny purple mushroom with green spots. My biggest one to date was Pretzel Jack from season 4 of Channel Zero. I regret to say I stabbed my poor fingers MANY times in the process of making both. But this video still made me wanna dig out my felting supplies and make something again!
So amazing to see Rachael with a friend who 100% matches her energy! I loved this!
Two exceedingly stylish ladies and their froggy boy with a bun window!
Super fun and sweet video, it came out so well! Especially since it was a first go that's super impressive, it also seems like Savannah is a great teacher and you have a lovely friendship. One day I have to find a friend to do crafts and go thrifting with this seemed like it was so much fun and it was lovely to watch!
The frog, Savannah, the editing, you, are all perfection and the type of content that made me smile after a bad week, thank you 💗
Love you two together 💖 It's always special when people of the same kind and humor unite to form a force of creativity and lolz.
the energy between them I LOVE IT
frog actually came out amazing
This is adorable. I feel like I need a weekly show called Chaotic Crafting with Rachel and Savannah!
This is the most adorable, positive, silly, joyful video EVER! I laughed so much and my face hurts from smiling through the whole half hour. From your silly songs, to the spinning in the garden, to the 90s portrait at the end... this video is fantastic. I'm book marking this for days when I need a smile and joy. Thank you so much for creating this!
AH I didn’t know I needed to see a froggy in overa-….toaderalls! But I definitely did. AHHHHHH MAKE NEEDLEFELTED MICE FOR THE MOUSE HOBBIT HOLE!!!
Yes, that would be a *mice* thing to do!
The reveal sequence made me laugh so much Rachel, thanks for that 😂 also saw someone else say this too, you should definitely make little mouse characters to go in your hobbit hole
This is absolutely fantastic! I’ve been interested in this art form and seeing you try it out has just made my Friday. Thanks for always expanding your repertoire and sharing with us.
He's just adorable. Great job! And this video was amazing. Much love ❤
Omg savannah is soo cute and I love her art!
This was probably my favorite episode with a guest. Savannah is a riot and the two of you together is beautiful chaos. ❤️❤️ We must have more of this! Oh! Now that you know how to make adorable little critters, you should make a little hobbit mouse for your mouse hobbit hole! Have him smoking some Old Toby from the Southfarthing. Maybe make a little barrel labelled Old Toby. Give him a head of curls.... This sounds too stinking cute, imma stop now lol. 😅🥰
Ah yes, the miniatures and then needle felting. love that rachel is doing my dream hobbies, while I watch!
That reveal was the best thing I’ve ever seen - the entire thing
Tbh this was the best/funniest video in a while! Loved it!!!
I am so in love with this little toad boy. He is perfection. The montage. PERFECTION. This was a 10/10 experience.
Savannah is absolutely hilarious and delightful and watching you two interact was SO much fun 😂❤️
The best Friday ritual, watching Rachel
It makes me so happy to see how just simply crafting instead of taking on a whole huge project brings you such joy! I love when you add variety to your content ❤️ keep creating !
OH MY GOODNESS!! He is SO ADORABLE 🥰 I love that character...I purchased several t-shirts with this toad doing different things for my youngest daughter because she is obsessed with toads since taking in 1 girl and 6 boy toads from outside...they are SO much fun to play with! Your friend is just as hilarious as you are...I hope you do more videos together soon...and her hair........epic cotton candy goodness right there 💓💓💓
You and Savannah have the best, most gloriously chaotic vibes I have ever seen 👌
He turned out so cute! I tried needle felting and just didn't have the patience, so it's awesome to see you thriving and giving it a fabulous go!
Needle felting is so satisfying to do. This video has made me wanna get back into it. You two are frickin hilarious and I hope you two do more needle felting crafts together.
This turned out sooo CUTE! Those little pants!!!! 😅 The reveal was hilarious. Thank you both for such a fun video.
I enjoy needle felting, but I gave my cats the early pieces to play with and destroy for me instead of storing or throwing them away. Now they think all the felting is for them. They even steal the baggies of wool. They absolutely love them.
An absolute delight from start to finish! Thank you for not horribly injuring yourself, the fear of which is the main thing keeping me from trying out this skill.
I keep coming back to this video just because of the energy. It's chaotic, creative, warm and just overall everything I need with a warm cuppa.
I already cracked at "Tiny Barbs" haha, this video was great! Love how the frog turned out and yes like many others have suggested: Tiny hobbit mice for the hobbit hole!
oh hell yeah~ felting is one of my fave mediums and love seeing others try it out!! (I love to make my dnd characters then sew wee bags and clothing for em~)
This is brilliant and adorable
Guess I have to learn so I can make my dnd characters cause that sounds amazing! 🧝♀️
With Halloween coming I would love to see a Halloween themed felt creature🙌
Rachel,your froggy is so cute.
I just can't. It's sooooo cute and inspiring, and you two have the craziest, the most warm and cute and fun energy! I would looove to have so artsy fun friends to do cozy things together. Thank you for the video, it's the best inspiration ever!
That turned out really cute! You're inspiring me to get back into doing some needle felting. Maybe I'll do a quick weekend project, but I tend to felt my projects REALLY hard, I need to loosen up. Relax and enjoy! Anyways, another cute and fun video with lots of friendship and whimsy! Yay! We love you, Rachel!
