Needle Felted Sheep Head with Kristen Walsh

About Needle Felted Sheep Head with Kristen Walsh

Join me in making a sheep head to frame and put on your wall or give as a gift. I’ll walk you through the process of forming the head using various rolling and shaping techniques. You’ll learn how to create the ears, eye lids and the neck separately and then add them to the head. Next, I’ll teach you the best way to work with wool locks, adding them one at a time to your project. You’ll be amazed how the locks complete your sheep.
