Needle felt a realistic cottontail bunny — even if you've never needle felted before

A friendly, step-by-step video tutorial that guides you to create a soft, lifelike woodland bunny you'll be proud to display.

Imagine if you could…

There is a reason you haven't been able to make anything like this (yet)…

You sit down to try needle felting… and immediately feel stuck.

You don't know where to begin. There are so many needles, so many wools, so many techniques that it all feels like a craft everyone else understands except you.

You look at photos of these soft, rounded woodland animals and think, "There's no way I could ever make something like that."

So you don't start — or you start once, get discouraged, and stop.

And when you do try, the proportions feel off, your shapes come out lumpy, and the details — the ears, the nose, the cheeks — turn messy instead of cute.

Instead of a sweet little animal, you end up with something you quietly hide away.

But here's the truth:

This isn't a talent problem. It's a sequence problem.

Most beginners learn needle felting backwards. They start with details before creating the core shape, buy too many tools, or follow tutorials that skip the steps that matter most.

That's why the wool bunches, the shapes collapse, the details drift out of proportion, and nothing looks like the picture you expected.

The good news? These problems are easy to fix with:

A tiny, simple starter setup (less than you think!)Just the right needles and the right wool — not a drawer full of supplies.
A clear order of stepsBody → head → features → smoothing → finishing. Once you follow this structure, the "that looks like a bunny!" moment suddenly appears.
One repeatable shaping techniqueThis turns fuzzy, uneven forms into smooth, confident shapes.

You might still be thinking, "But what if mine still looks bad?" With the right guidance, your bunny will take shape more easily and far more beautifully than you expect. All you need is the right steps in the right order.

Meet Mary

Your needle felting guide

Hi, I'm Mary, and I'm so happy you're here.

I fell in love with needle felting because it felt slow, grounding, and deeply satisfying. A way to create something beautiful with your hands without needing to be "naturally artistic." What started as curiosity quickly became a creative practice I kept coming back to again and again.

Over time, I discovered that needle felting doesn't have to feel intimidating or complicated. With the right guidance, it can feel calm, approachable, and genuinely joyful, even if you've never picked up a felting needle before.

I created this workshop to guide you through the process the way I wish I had been taught: step by step, with gentle explanations, realistic expectations, and plenty of reassurance along the way. My goal is for you to enjoy the process just as much as the finished bunny.

If you've ever wanted to try needle felting but felt unsure where to start, you're in exactly the right place. I can't wait to create alongside you.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any experience?

Not at all. This workshop is designed to be beginner-friendly and walks you through every step from the very beginning. Even if you've never picked up a felting needle before, you'll be guided clearly and gently through the entire process.

What supplies do I need to get started?

You'll only need a small, simple set of tools — and in Module 1, I'll show you exactly what to use (and what to skip). There's no need for an overwhelming or expensive supply list.

Is this workshop suitable if I've tried needle felting before?

Yes. If you've dabbled in needle felting but want clearer guidance, better structure, or more realistic results, you'll still find this workshop helpful and enjoyable.

How long does the project take?

Most people complete their bunny over a few relaxed sessions. You can move at your own pace, pause anytime, and come back whenever it suits you — there's no pressure to rush.

What if I make a mistake along the way?

That's completely normal and expected. The workshop (and included Fix-It bonus) shows you how to adjust and correct shapes without starting over, so mistakes feel manageable instead of stressful.

How long do I have access?

Forever. The videos do not expire — ever. You get lifetime access the moment you enroll and can rewatch any lesson any time you like.

Is this a live workshop or self-paced?

This is a self-paced workshop. You can watch the lessons whenever it fits your schedule and move through the steps at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Will I be able to create other animals after this?

Yes. While this workshop focuses on a cottontail bunny, you'll learn foundational needle felting skills that can be applied to other small animals and projects in the future.

What if I don't consider myself "creative"?

You don't need to be. This workshop focuses on simple, repeatable steps rather than artistic talent. Many students are surprised by what they're able to create when they follow the process.
