Have a little peek into my felting studio to see the process of felting my first Giraffe.
This is the very beginnings. A couple hours have already been spent on the making of a giraffe.
Here you can see the slow progress that is made in the next couple of hours.
Now we can see some progress!
Several hours spent on the legs and feet!!
An entire afternoon dedicated to the details of the head.
A giraffe getting its spots!
All done! He is available to purchase in my etsy shop.
I love this Ty . I am currently trying to make a Mama looking down at her baby Giraffe as my friend lost her mother and she loves Giraffes..This has helped me out alot..Any pointers on doing the head/Face?
I would love to help you find the answer you are looking for. I have put a lot of thought and research into my blog. You will be able to find the answers to many of your needle felting questions there.
I also have a resource page where I share where I find all my resources for my business, sheep, felting and homeschooling.
I send out valuable felting tips and techniques in my email newsletter.
If you are looking for instruction from me personally you can find me in the Bear Creek Needle Felting Academy. I spend a lot of time there answering questions and giving personal instruction. You will also find a complete video course on how to make a giraffe within the Academy.

beautiful giraffe! Thanks for sharing the stages. It’s unbelievable how much time is spent. Did you use wire to get him to stand?
Hi Nancy, Thank you so much! I did use wire in the legs to make him more sturdy. Not very fun to felt around but necessary to keep such long legs straight.
