Full Description

Learn how to needle felt a delightfully realistic Shiba Inu dog head using wool, barbed needles, and simple hand tools. This digital demonstration is divided into two focused videos that cover the entire project from base to finish.

You will start by shaping the base, installing the eyes and nose, and mapping the Shiba’s classic color pattern — warm orange-tan over the head and ears, with creamy white on the cheeks, muzzle, and brow. Then you will build up soft wool layers, refine the almond-shaped eyes, add a tiny pink tongue, shape the triangular ears, and trim everything into the breed’s alert, friendly expression.

The camera stays close to the artist’s hands throughout, so every poke, layer, and trim is easy to follow. Audio is in Chinese, but the instruction is fully visual and suitable for learners of any language.
