A cute white rat enjoying the beautiful fall colors of a backyard dogwood tree! After so many cats from me, it was time for a rat! Autumn is drawing to a close but the leaves have been so beautiful, really giving me morale.

Hello!!!!

The wool Gary + Rookie are really cute! How did you make them? I.e – Were patterns used? Was it very difficult?

^ Words by a fool who craves to make a wool Cadence but knows nothing

Thank you!

Hi!! Tysm for the ask, I wasn’t expecting this lol (a lot of writing, brace yourself)

To answer your questions— nope, it wasn’t very difficult (cp designs have a lot of basic/easy shapes)! Both of them only took around 5-6 hours to complete. Though needle felting is a passion of mine, so I didn’t feel the need to take a break.

As for patterns, I only really used one to get the flat shape that I got for Gary’s flippers (any triangle cut-out will do really for a mold, if you want to do that as opposed to Rookie’s flippers which were just done with some added felt)

If you want, I can post a step-by-step of another penguin to show you the process, since explaining it would probably be a lot harder than physically showing it. I’ve been experimenting with other designs as well, though I cannot tell which I like more. Here’s an example of a felt I did of a friend’s OC, and I’d be happy to show how I did this too

Really, the biggest things I would suggest are to plan ahead, be patient, and focus on layering so clothing doesn’t look awkward (for example, for Gary’s lab coat I made sure to add on his flippers first so the sleeves could wrap around them, then I made the undershirt, then the tie atop of that, and finally added the white felt on top of everything).

Either way though, I wish you luck on your DJ K-Dance! And ty again for the ask :3

Part 4, and last part of the felted penguin tutorial!

Now that you have your beak, it’s time for the feet. From all the other penguins I’ve felted, I was running out of orange felt— you can use more than in the picture if you’d like to! Just make sure to cut/tear them as even as you can.

Again, for the feet I usually just place the felt on and go from there, but you can always make the shape beforehand.

Face the feet at an angle under the penguin, more towards the front than the back. Also try to get them as flat as you can, these will be the only thing holding your penguin up! Please do not give your penguin a concussion by dooming it to fall over and over again, the poor little guys.

Next up we’re working on the eyes. If your penguin has a mask, sunglasses, etc, this step is completely optional. Here I could have switched to my smaller needle, but I stuck with medium.

You can shape the penguin’s expression a bit more here with how you shape the eyes— for example, since AA is more attentive, I gave her wider, slightly sloped eyes.

Applying them is about the same as applying the white felt on the belly. Place a small amount of white felt above one side of the beak, shape it as you tighten it, and do the same for the other side. Make sure not to leave any space between the white of the eyes and the beak, and of course, get it as flat as you can.

Lastly, add the black part of the eyes! Use a VERY small amount of black felt, as it pops out a lot.

If you have felting scissors, you can also snip away extra bits of felt around the sides to make it look cleaner. AA definitely needs a bit more of a trim XD

I’ll get to her clothes sometime, but for now, here’s your penguin tutorial!

Don’t mind me, chicken posting again! I laid some food out on the ground to distract them while I mucked out their run, and some neighbors got curious

he's looking at you
