How to Make a Needle Felted Bunny

I have updated my needle felt bunny tutorial and I am now offering it in my Etsy store.

My new tutorial is very detailed. It is a 12-page instant download PDF with 64 photos.

Here is the supply list:

• Foam or sponge
• Felting needles, 38 star or 40 spiral, optional 42 triangle for eye detail
• Multi-needle felting tool (optional)
• Ruler
• Toothpick (round and smooth)
• Wooden skewer or 18 gauge wire (optional)
• Scissors (not shown)
• Corriedale or other core wool
• Rose grey alpaca
• Fawn alpaca
• White alpaca
• Pink or blush wool
• Pink or brown wool for nose
• Black alpaca or wool
• Tiny piece white merino

The bunny would take 2 to 4 hours to make and it can be accomplished by a beginner with basic needle felting experience.

Giveaway! Win a Copy of Hansel & Gretel: A Fairy Tale with a Down Syndrome Twist

THE GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED.

Two random winners have been chosen. The first place winner is Carole Amai. The second place winner is Jade O'Shea.

A great big thank you to everyone who participated!

Win a copy of Hansel & Gretel: A Fairy Tale with a Down Syndrome Twist and a needle-felted bunny character that was featured in the book. The book is a first of its kind, illustrated in wool through needle felting technique.

Not only is the illustration in this book one-of-a-kind, but also the plot of the story is far from ordinary. This adaptation of the classic Grimms’ tale includes the wicked witch and the poor siblings in search of food; but in this version Jewel Kats’ main character, Hansel, is a mischievous, yet courageous, five-year-old boy with Down syndrome.
