Make a super realistic sitting dog from start to finish [on sale]
This tutorial is melt your heart adorable with some really great techniques!
I'm SO happy to see you here!
In this set of videos I’ll guide you in making a realistic looking needle felt sitting dog that you are going to be SO PROUD of.
Join me as I take you through every part of the making of this model step by step. I’ll talk you through exactly what I’m doing, the videos are not too long either and each chapter is broken down into easy manageable parts.
Great for when you want to take a break so you can pick up easily where you left off.
There are no secrets here!
It’s not difficult when you know how. And this course is full of my own tips and experience of YEARS of making detailed and lifelike needle felt dogs for happy customers – and now it’s my turn to share that with you!
Just so that you are clear, this series of tutorials is for you if you:
BUT let me just say that it’s never too soon to learn the advanced techniques which you might be putting off.
I’m going to show you how to do everything from start to finish, so that you can learn skills that’ll help you progress your felting to the next level.
Just FYI - while this is a model of a spaniel, you can easily adapt it to make whatever breed you like.
Don’t forget that it’s the techniques in these videos that will help you progress.
And once you have this course – you can download it to keep forever and when you want to progress to a different breed you can follow along and adapt it as you need.
This is what Jane from Bradford says about my tutorials
“The tutorials are fantastic- I feel confident that I can move my needle felting on, having been a keen but not always competent felter for 2 years!”
What you’ll learn
This is my longest course to date – and is a juicy SIX hours long!
But don’t let that put you off because the course is broken down into chapters and videos so you can keep track of where you are!
It’s worth EVERY minute – (even the part when my dog starts barking half way through one of the videos!)
And I encourage you to take plenty of breaks! You can even do just a little bit each day because it’s that straight forward to follow.
These videos are here for you to enjoy and also help you get ahead and progress with this fantastic craft!
Happy Felting!
