I’ll talk you through all the steps to needle felt this cute Squishmallow dog (Regina) and show you a needle felting technique to get two tone ears so that the colours don’t bleed through to each side.
In this tutorial I’ll explain in detail how I needle felted the colour markings and face details.
This project is suitable for a beginner to needle felting but make sure you follow my advice in the video regarding the size of your squishmallow.
Hope you like it, good luck.
