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, a felting needle, 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 from your own life.

And just like your pets, this needle felting book is so friendly that even novice felters can learn to make the following miniature animal figures:
  • A perky Yorkshire Terrier.
  • An elegant Russian Blue Cat.
  • A playful Tabby.
  • A sleepy Mottled Cat.
  • A Holland Lop Rabbit.
  • A curly Toy Poodle.
  • A fluffy Pomeranian.
  • A dapper French Bulldog.
  • Matching mom-and-pup Chihuahuas.
  • A sweet Pygmy Hedgehog And many more!
