How to make a REALISTIC NEEDLE FELTED BUNNY | Cute Wild Rabbit from Wool | Time Lapse Tutorial | DIY

It's wonderful how some wool and pipe cleaners can transform into a realistic needle felted bunny sculpture. This time lapse tutorial will show you the entire process and demonstrate the steps you need to make your own cute wild rabbit.
This video includes - pipe cleaner armature, wrapping wool, adding wool shapes to build the body, making paws, creating a head with face detail, adding wool eyes and lovely long bunny ears, attaching the ears and head, making a cute fluffy tail, reverse felting for fluffy fur, adding a darker shade for more realism and adding horsehair whiskers.
I chose some beautiful rabbit coloured wools that resemble a real bunny (see below for links).
I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for watching!

Danke 😊

[@narcissablackm]

This is so beautiful! I am a beginner in needle felting and for now I enjoy to create bunnies and birds, I hope to one day make them look more realistic, as they still very much look like simple dolls. Thank you for this video, all those tips are amazing, like the reverse needle to make them look more woollen, that is great.

[@FittobeLovedFelts]

Thank you. I'm pleased you like it. If your style is more simple then that's great too. We all have our own unique style. But if you wanted to go more realistic just go for it. You'll get there 😊

[@FittobeLovedFelts]

Thank you 😊

[@mjspad]

Very nice! May I ask what type of wool you are using?

[@FittobeLovedFelts]

Thank you! 😊 I used carded slivers from Heidifeathers. Not sure what exact sheep breed. You can get different shades to resemble the real animal. They do a mix of 10 colours to try amzn.to/3wZi2b0

[@paw3664]

Hi, could you tell me what wool you have used? Is it a core wool? Thank you

[@FittobeLovedFelts]

They are carded slivers. I used one that was called 'rabbit'.

[@WanderLust-Wonders]

Hi thank you for this video, it is lovely. However, when I'm trying to see the bunny, either your hands are in the way or the instruction banners are over it. Would it be possible to take some photos from different angles of the finished bunny? xx

[@FittobeLovedFelts]

Glad you like it. There are some photos on my website here fittobeloved.com/2022/07/07/realistic-needle-felted-bunny/ also on my Facebook and Insta pages..
