Needle felting Tigers for the New Year!

It’s a new year and as you probably know this year is the year of the Tiger!  So why not create something to represent that for yourself or a friend this year?

If you’ve been needle felting for a while you may still not have made a tiger before, I have probably only ever made one myself in 20 years of felting!  Stripes aren’t super easy but here’s a few basic video tutorials for making some cute tigers which I’m sure you can achieve great results from!

Or if you are looking for some inspiration how about these amazing creations from all over the web!

How about a realistic piece of art?  This is less of a tutorial and more of a time lapse but it certainly still helps you learn how to create something like this amazing tiger!

And Living Felt give you an overview of working a realistic tiger over a wire armature.  This video gives you tips and tricks on making long hair and how to create the shades of colour/blending fibres which is awesome to learn.

There’s some amazing styles and skill levels for tiger creations out there.  I hope if you decide to create your own tiger this year that you have so much joy making it and that the finished creation is super rewarding!  Enjoy your craft this year, whether you work with water or needles, the things we create with our hands keep us happy, active and productive which I know I definitely need everyday!

Happy felting and happy 2022 everyone!
