How to make a REALISTIC NEEDLE FELTED BUNNY | Cute Wild Rabbit from Wool | Time Lapse Tutorial | DIY

Описание: It's wonderful how some wool and pipe cleaners can transform into a realistic needle felted bunny sculpture. This time lapse tutorial will show you the entire process and demonstrate the steps you need to make your own cute wild rabbit.

This video includes - pipe cleaner armature, wrapping wool, adding wool shapes to build the body, making paws, creating a head with face detail, adding wool eyes and lovely long bunny ears, attaching the ears and head, making a cute fluffy tail, reverse felting for fluffy fur, adding a darker shade for more realism and adding horsehair whiskers.

I chose some beautiful rabbit coloured wools that resemble a real bunny (see below for links).

I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for watching!
