One of a needle-felter's greates frustration is the felting needle snapping while doing your work. I've broken a lot of felting needles already, & everytime, it just hurts me whenever I broke a needle. And to think that needle felting materials are not available in the Philippines, just adds to the emotions since I have to go abroad or order online from another country just to get some felting needles.
Today, I just broke my felting needle while doing a commissioned work. I just got fed up already. So I thought of a way what to do with the broken felting needle.
Here's a picture of my broken felting needle. Grrr... :(
I think you could use some bakeable glue to make a stronger hold of the needle, I didn't use in this tutorial since I don't have any at the moment. =D
Hope this tutorial will solve our problem =D
I would try this. Needles are readily available here, but I'm cheap. Mostly I wondered about using different colors of Sculpy to identify the needles and as a better grip. So, I will try it with an unbroken needle too.
ReplyDeleteCool! Let me know how it turned out!

ReplyDeleteI only have 3 needles on hand and I just broke ALL of them.
Now I can repair them while my shipment comes from China ^u^
Yeah... felting needles are indeed easy to break. Where do you get your felting needles from China?
DeleteVarious ebay sellers, it's a hit or miss on there. They've held up fine, but I only buy the basic triangle needles off of there.
