Part 3 Of A Felted Penguin Tutorial
Part 3 of a felted penguin tutorial
Once you have the flippers in your selected mold, use the needle to stuff it in there (note: I used a hard surface to take the picture, but do NOT do it on a hard surface. It won’t tighten it, at least not well, and it might break your needle. Use foam underneath, or any other soft surface you don’t mind getting holes in).
Switch back and forth from either side to make sure both sides of the flipper is tightening the same.
Make sure to keep a bit of loose felt at the ends of the flippers for attaching them in the next step.
Next merge the flippers with the sides of the penguin. This step is pretty simple! This is where I usually place the flippers, but you can place them anywhere you want really.
Here’s what we have now :3
Faceless, but looking pretty neat!
Let’s fix its facelessness. Take a bit of orange felt (I didn’t take a picture of how much I cut… whoopsies!) and place it just above the neckline. This is where you can choose your penguin’s expression. I’m giving her just a regular smile, but it can be anything you want!
I know it looks weird, but it’ll look better soon I promise.
Next take a bit more of your orange felt and wad it up in the middle of the expression you just made. I tighten it there, but if you find it easier you can create its oval shape before putting it on.
Shorten it as much as you can, and try to keep it between the line of orange felt you placed there before!
We’re almost done, should be able to finish in the next part!

Might as well start with something! And since my current fixation is almost exclusively on CP, why not start with some posts about that. These are designs that I experimented with for Rookie and Gary :3

Some quick jetkie sketches for Valentine’s Day :3
My grad cap fell out of my closet while I was looking for something, and I realized I never shared it here. This is my sister’s work, and I’m still so grateful for her making it a reality. I couldn’t ask for it to be better. <3
I thought the quote was fitting for the ending of my journey through public school; that sign on the iceberg, in a way, marked the end of an important part of my childhood. So many memories came to a close the day club penguin shut down.
Now all of my childhood friends have grown up with me and gone their separate ways, and the years leading up to that day I walked shut their doors to prepare for a new chapter. I’ll cherish the memories I made, and keep them in my pocket as I see what the future holds for me. To all the friends who made me who I am, Waddle On <3
Exposing my 10 year old self's New Years Resolutions that I think I did for a school project or something
I think something was bothering at the time lol
hang on I’m trying to see something
don’t tell me the name of your pet, just tell me in the tags the name you call them that’s got nothing to do with their actual name
You may not like it but this is what peak scheming looks like.
