Description
Cute Needle Felted Animal Friends shows you how to create lifelike felted figures that remind you of the pets you love using a little wool roving and a few basic tools and techniques. Even more than this, it shows you how to capture their adorable expressions when they're playing hard, napping, or just happy to see you. A sweetly cocked head, perky ears and a tail that makes you think it's actually wagging the charm and the pleasure of these figures are in the details!
Detailed step-by-step instructions and photos show you how easy it is to make the basic shapes and components and then to add details like long or curly hair, spines and stripes as well as little faces that are utterly irresistible. With a bit of practice, you'll soon be ready to portray the unique poses and expressions of beloved pets in your own life.
