Felting Needles

Felting needles are handy little tools for attaching hair. The needles are $2.00 each and for quantity orders I add in an extra needle or two.

They are designed to be fitted in to large felting machines but dollmakers have adapted them for their own use! The needles I have in stock at the moment are very sturdy - because we are using them individually they can snap - but these are quite sturdy and have had great reports about how long they last.

Instructions for use are included.

	Speedy Stuffer Anne Clemens 'Speedy Stuffer' if 25cm long to give stuffing a smoother finish on dolls - the ergonomally designed handle takes the pressure off the hand (great for arthritis sufferers).

TURNING TOOLS

Make life easy on yourself!! with one or two specialist little tools turning doll parts are a whizz!!

TURN-IT-ALL 'Bow Whips' have been improved in design and are now called 'Turn-it-all' Set of 3 different sizes for turning all but the tiniest parts. $18.70 Au

TINY FINGERS KIT So you want tiny fingers?? Compiled with hints from Patti Culea and Judi Ward - contains brass tools for turning tiny fingers, detailed instructions and materials to make a small hand with wired fingers. $9 ($8.20 ex GST)

Once you have turned your doll, run the timber dowelling from your turning tool set inside the seams to straighten and open out the seams. Now your are ready to stuff!!! Different people prefer different types of stuffing - some like a lot of bounce - others like a softer fill. Some stuff really firm - but when first starting to make dolls, it is easy to stuff too lightly. Give the poor girl some body - some say the feel of a ripe peach - or until she feels 'natural' to you. Soft stuffing seems to go even limper in time and spoils the quality of a doll

STUFFING FORKS Barbara Willis has designed a wonderful pair of stuffing tools! There is a notch in the end of each tool that is used to wind fiberfill around the end like cotton candy. For fingers place the tube of fill into the finger and pull the tool out while holding onto the stuffed area. The entire area is tightly filled in one step. The mini size is for tiny areas and fingers. $25 Au each

HEMOSTATS Available in three sizes these clamps are just the handiest little tools!! Great for helping to turn tiny hands - or pulling through any stubborn parts. Also handy to grip the needle when it is being stubborn and won't pull through. The ends of the smaller clamps are great for poking fingers out without piecing a hole. The larger size is great for stuffing - so quick when doing the bulk of the body and stuffing forks aren't necessary. Lynne Butcher loves her large pair - into the bag of stuffing and into the doll - all done with the hemostats! 9cm (3.5") $9.35 13cm (5") $11 Au 25cm (10") $25.00 Au
