Hello!!!!

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

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
