The first thing I ever needle felted on my own, after my introductory cat kit, was Minecraft characters who are composed of cubes and rectangles…nothing like jumping into the deep end right away 😂
Your videos are great and so helpful. I'm going to give this new thing a try. I made my first attempt this evening. Very pleased with how it turned out. 😀
Great video!! I’m tying to make a gingerbread house right now and struggling a bit to make it rectangular and then the slope on the roof … but it is fun to challenge yourself, as you taught me long ago, I’m finally embracing it ❤
Wondering why you start felting with nld 40 or 38? If someone only has 1 size, I think that should bij 38. But... one makes much furmer felts by starting with nld 32 and then work your way up to 40 or 42
Using 4 needles speeds up the firming process greatly for me, you can't use 32's in a multi needle holder though as they wouldn't penetrate the wool. If I didn't have any multi needle holders I would probably start with a 36 depending on the coarseness of the wool x
Thank you 😊, i want to ask you a question. Is core wool and roving wool the same? Can i use roving for the inside please? I am from malta and all i can find is roving to buy not core wool.
That's absolutely fine, core wool is normally a cheaper wool for the inside and more often than not, carded. Roving, in the UK, is normally similar to tops wool but a bit coarser. You can use whatever you have for the inside, it's just the cost xx
I've never seen a felted square. Is love to try this. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching ❣️ xx
You are so good at everything you make! Thx for sharing this technic.
Thanks, it's fun to try one but I'm not going to be making too many more 😅 xx
Love the squares!!!! Can you please show ideas on how to use squares?
Houses, cottages, presents, Minecraft, lots of things might work, glad you enjoyed it xx

Oh gosh yes, they are not easy at all, my son saw my cube and said it was perfect for Minecraft too xx

Excellent, glad you liked the video and hope you are enjoying your needle felting journey x
Thank You for this video. I'm felting Christmas projects and this will make perfect, wrapped Christmas presents to add to some of them.
Great idea for them, I was wondering what the possibilities were for this, thanks for watching ❣️ x
Brilliant Philippa 👌🏻so helpful and opens up many doors, especially as I’ve attempted little cottages😊. Thank you xx💐
Yes, just perfect for cottages and houses but it was a good challenge to myself to try it 😄xx

That is definitely a challenge! Maybe something I should try one day but it sounds hard, well done, love the new kits coming soon xx
Great tutorial. I made a bunch of sugar cubes for a project I made, it took ages to get them all square.
It's not easy and I don't think I'm going to rush to felt any more 😄, thanks for watching ❣️ xx
Thanks so much for the video! Super helpful
No problem, a fun challenge xx
Cute video! ♥️🐑
Thanks ❣️ x

What do you use to make your felting needles more comfortable to hold Philippa? 💕
It's just fimo clay baked in the oven, very simple xx
What a good idea! I have some silk clay, you've given me the idea to do the same, thanks for responding.💕@@feltsbyphilippa
Your single needles, is it in a needle holder (pink: not Clover) that you've bought/made? Could you give me some more details about them please xx
Me too
Hi, it's just fimo clay moulded and then cooked as per the instructions xx
Hopefully you can see my reply, fimo clay xx
Thank you so much. I did think about Fimoclay but was worried that the needle would be damaged by the heat.
My instructions are very low heat for about 30 mins and they seem fine xx

Hey what mat do you use? Is the wool buddy still your favourite? ❤
Yes it is! But Heidifeathers do a similar pure wool mat too which is also brilliant x
Oh no you've thrown another into the mix 🤣🤣🤣
Opps!!! 😁x
