      Sweet & Simple Needle Felted Animals - Sachiko Susa

      Welcome to the World of Needle Felting!

      From soft, fluffy wool come these adorable animals. Let’s take a peek at how they’re made.

      1 The tools: a needle and mat.

      2 Colorful wool roving. There are so many colors, it’s exciting just looking at them.

      3 Break off pieces of the wool roving bit by bit. This is easily done by hand.

      4 Place the wool roving on the mat and form a shape by punching it gently and carefully with the needle.

      5 Make sure you don’t get too worked up and stab your finger!

      6 Keep adding pieces of roving to increase the size. This forms one section.

      7 Repeat by punching roving to create the smaller parts. This is an ear.

      8 Attach ears by punching into the base with the needle.

      9 After all that work with the needle, take a little break. Browse inspiring photography and craft books, especially ones that highlight animals’ features and expressions.

      10 Wrap colorful roving around the main section as decoration.

      11 Punch in the delicate pattern…

      12 … and it’s finished.

      Easy Animals for Beginners

      These animals for beginners are pets that will stay by your side to calm and soothe you. They can be made in a short amount of time. Detailed instructions for each project can be found on the lesson pages. For those creating wool felt animals for the first time, the section on tools and materials (pages 8-9) is especially helpful. To help you understand the basic techniques, look through the miniature dachshund lesson starting on page 12 to get a grasp on the overall animal-making process. Then have fun making some unique, adorable animals.

      Miniature Mascots

      Small and light, these tiny figures can be enjoyed as charms on cell phone straps or as brooch pins.
