Needle Felted Fairy Video Tutorial – Learn how to needle felt a fully jointed fairy doll with no wire armatures, no glass eyes, no clay parts – just needle felted wool.

9 hours of intense needle felting fun!

Plenty of zoom-ins give you a nearly magnified view of the finest details! Without any high-speed sequences, the pace is relaxing, making it a magical learning experience as your unique Fairy Doll comes to life!

Needle Felted Fairy Video is my newest tutorial and I make it easier than ever for you to learn how to Felt Alive!

Needle Felting is truly an amazing craft. It’s relaxing, meditative, therapeutic, peaceful, magical and a bit mysterious.
