This tutorial is for Needle Felting Short Fur. This is part two in my series of Needle Felted Cat Head tutorials as demonstrated with a Tabby Birman!
You are just 6 steps away from knowing how to needle felt fur. I'll teach you how to blend colours by layering wool and reverse felting. You'll be adding short fur to the bridge of the nose, the cheeks, whisker pads, chin and around the eyes. I'll also share my technique for whisker dots :-)
