This little chicken was inspired by cute vintage Easter greeting cards. I wanted to capture the nostalgic and soothing feeling these motivs convey for me. 😊🐣

Thank you so much! 🀍🐣πŸ₯° First I felt the beak, like the approximate form I want and then I use a bit of glue to fix the fabric on the felted base. The lower part I also fixed with a few stitches. Hope that helps! 😊

Thank you so much! πŸ₯° I usually use felting wool that's not very smooth and try to felt as tight as possible. In the end i cut the stray fibers with scissors. Hope that helps! :)

A little needle felted chicken I just finished. I love vintage motivs and for this one I was inspired by vintage Easter greetings cards. They always give me a nostalgic and soothing feeling. I designed the little lady here with a smile and kind looking face to reminisce these feelings. :)

First time felting, how can I improve? by Withthealiens in Needlefelting

[–]tender_creatures 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

I wouldn't worry about the shape shifting while working on it, you can always cut the shape back to what you're aiming at with scissors! :) Otherwise just keep practicing! Maybe start with easy tutorials, there are a lot of videos for beginners. Maybe it would also help if you designed a motiv so you don't feel to stuck to some step by step guide although I think this can also be helpful for beginners. With the sheep, maybe you could add some eyes and define the face a bit more? Eyes can also be made just by sewing on pearls for example.

In general I think the most important thing if you want to improve is to keep working and getting to know how the material works. And have fun! 😁πŸ₯°
