Needle Felting my first Giraffe

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! This was my very first needle felted giraffe, and looking back at him now reminds me just how much my work has changed over the years.

Want to Learn to Needle Felt a Giraffe?

A lot has changed since I made this first giraffe in 2012! Today I teach needle felting through the Bear Creek Needle Felting Academy, where members can work through complete project courses and get help along the way.

You can also find needle felting kits, wool, needles and supplies in the Bear Creek Felting shop.
