Autumn is here, and that means it’s time to bring out the warm colours, soft wools, and cozy creative projects. This week’s Free Felting Tutorial Friday celebrates everything we love about fall — from crunchy leaves to rich, earthy tones — with a beautiful, inspiring collection of video tutorials from Heidi Feathers.
If you’ve ever wanted to capture the magic of autumn in fibre, this is the perfect place to start. Heidi’s tutorials guide you through how to felt with vibrant seasonal colours, experiment with texture, and create layered pieces that feel just like the changing leaves outside your window.
Felt, Fibre, and Falling Leaves
This collection includes multiple videos packed with inspiration for both wet felting and needle felting techniques. Whether you’re new to felting or just want to refresh your creativity for the season, you’ll find plenty of ideas to keep your hands busy and your imagination flowing.
Heidi shares how to layer different wool colours to mimic the look of real leaves — from golden yellows to russet reds — and how to blend fibres for natural shading. It’s a lovely reminder that felting isn’t just crafting; it’s a way of painting with texture.

Felter’s Tip
Try felting on a dark background like Heidi does in her demo — it makes the autumn colours really pop. A small piece of black felt acts like a canvas, letting each vibrant leaf shine through beautifully.
