Adorable Felted Animals: 30 Easy and Incredibly Lifelike Needle Felted Pals: 30 Easy & Incredibly Lifelike Needle Felted Pals (Gakken Handmade)

An excellent book on making miniature animals.The book opens up with a gallery of coloured pictures showing all the projects in the book. Then a page on equipment, followed by a full pictorial example/instruction lesson of one of the animals being made, (A Golden Retriever) Then the remaining projects are then all set out giving only the patterns and materials required. If in doubt, you can refer back to the illustrated project, as they all take on a similar makeup format. All appear fairly easy to follow.

I can not believe how poorly organised this book is.It starts by showcasing the designs one can make by following the instructions in the book. Each design has a page number to turn to, now between the showcasing section and the page with the assembly instructions are all the detailed photograph sequences to follow.If you’re confused, this is a basic example: Page1 ‘AdorableFeltedAnimal’ turn to page 100. Page100 Put all these pieces together referring to page 50. Seriously?The photography is awful, the detailed photo sequences you must follow are photographs of light coloured material against a light background It’s really hard to see.I suggest a digital purchase of this book, assuming you really can’t find one better (if you can’t you’re just being lazy) then at least all that page backward and forwarding won’t be such a bloody pain.You might also be able to change your display to get better contrast from those photographs.

I bought this book along with the sweet and simple felted animals by the same author. As with the other book, it is well laid out and easy to follow with patterns for each project. The photos are very clear and easy to follow.It has a good selection of animals to make, some more involved than others.I would definitely recommend this book to anyone wanting to make needle felted animals, and would suit beginners and intermediates alike. Lots of good tips too!

Have made a couple of the animals from this and the guides for sizing are good. All the photos for the animals you can make are at the front and the instructions at the back so you do need to flick back and forth a bit. However, the instructions are clear and there is an illustrated guide for the Labrador retrievers that talks you through the steps in more detail. The rest of the instructions then give you size guides and how to put the animals together. Really nice set of little animals to make.

I like this book very much. I am completely new to needle felting . This book has some lovely projects , the instructions are quite clear but as usual with craft books I felt that some of the instructions were a bit skimpy and left to one's own interpretation. However it's easy to create your own style. There are plenty of projects to work at. Well worth the price I paid.

Good book for ideas, it has an excellent selection. The pictures are good but the instructions are a bit limited. Bit difficult flicking back and forth for the photos and instructions. But with perseverance i have a few lovely little dogs. I am a beginner.

A sweet little book with loads of projects.Yes, theres a bit of flicking through pages, but it's well illustrated and has good instruction. Love the cute projects.

Purchased this book for the wife as have no interest in felting myself.She loves animals and loves crafts, so this book came in handy. So far she hasn't had a chance to make any of the animals though the details and pictures make it look fairly straight forward.Quite a range of animals and was tempted to have a go myself one day. After she has done some.
