Needle felt bunny home

Today we needle felt a little bunny with a carrot. It is not difficult but do not forget: always prick up and down with the needle straight. For the body and head you can use the medium needle, for the paws, ears, tail and nose you use a small one. When you needle felt small parts keep them in place with a wooden skewer, then you will not prick your fingers.

How to make the body and the head

Pull a strand from the wool and roll it.

Prick in the roll until firm, holding the needle straight.

Roll a ball and prick it firm, leave some fluff at the end.

Prick the ball firmly onto the roll.

How to make the paws

If you use a skewer you won't prick your fingers.

Make all four paws roughly the same size.

Attach the paws firmly onto the body by pricking.

If it worked out your bunny should look like this.
