Hi guys , I was asked for a tutorial of this lovely panda. It is suitable for the new beginner in needle felting. Hope you guys have fun and don't forget to show me your when you finished. ok ! here we go. 1) Begin by pulling off a white colored fiber about 8” x 2 " for the head , with this length of wool, roll it to the shape of a ball. Roll and fold in the fuzzy edges as you go. Keep the fiber tight as you go to get as much air out as you can. You won’t have to needle quite as much. Roll all the way to end and start to needle until the fiber holds its shape. Needle just to make it nice and sturdy. The more you needle the smaller and tighter it will get. 2) then pull off a white coloured fiber about 1 " x 2" for the mouth . Repeat the action to roll up like a ball , but this time , no need to make it too firm and hard because you need to use the needle to make the shape of the mouth line. Like the picture show you need to needle the mouth to the body. 3) once it is attached , use the needle to felt the line of the mouth like the picture shown. 4) now pull out just tiny bit of black wool to make a nose for it. 5) use small amount of black wool to make a thin thread by rolling . 6 ) now place the black thread on the line of the mouth and needle it firmly. 7) use a small amount of black to make the eye part 8 ) Again use black colour wool to make a long oval and then cut it in half to make panda ears 9 ) needle the ears to the head like the picture shown. 10) Begin by pulling off a white colored fiber about 12” x 2 " for the body, With this length of wool, roll it to the shape of a egg. Roll and fold in the fuzzy edges as you go. Keep the fiber tight as you go to get as much air out as you can. You won’t have to needle quite as much. Roll all the way to end and start to needle until the fiber holds its shape. Needle just to make it nice and sturdy. The more you needle the smaller and tighter it will get. 11) When you finished , the body should like like this. 12) Then needle the body to the head like the picture . 13) For the legs start with a piece about 3 " x 1 " long. Pull all four pieces off at one time so you will have about the right amount for each leg. 14 ) Again attached the leg to the body. 15) Use small amount of black wool to cover white part near his neck. 16) It should look like this when you finished. 17) At the end , Make a hole and glue a plastic animal eyes for him.
