Forums » Art & Creativity » Needle Felting Tips & Tricks???

Heyo,

I have recently gotten into needle felting and was wondering if anyone else on here does it. I would like to learn any tricks or tips that can help me improve my craft. For instance, what glue works best with wool? My merill requires me to clue in a tail. Any tips on how to add a keychain? Critique is welcomed too, as I am going to sell these at conventions along side my perler beads.

Here are the few I have made so far!

My merill is super derpy looking as the eyes are too far apart and too big

They're looking cute! I actually like marill's wideset derpy eyes--it feels like a cute stylistic choice. I've never done needle felting (though I've been tempted by it in the past) so I can't help much. I feel like I've asked you before, but... what conventions do you go to? If you don't mind saying, of course!

Thank you :D

We just started doing cons this time last year so I don't have many to show for it. I am located in central Ontario so I am limited to cons about an hour or so away. I have done Yeticon, Orillia comic-con, CosplayMatsuri, Barrie Gaming convention, and Gryphoncon. I have Barrie Comic con coming up on Oct 14th, and this year I hope to do Anime North, ConBravo, and Fanexpo (plus any smaller cons in between) We will be reoccurring at Orillia comiccon (now known as cottage country comic con I believe) too for sure! I would love to do cons back in my home state of Ohio but I don't know the rules regarding crossing the boarder with merch.


Edit**This is my table. it grows every con!

Your booth setup looks good! Way better than my first year setup. XD I forgot you were located up in Canada, so unfortunately none of our cons overlap :( Maybe someday, though!
