Posts: 124Hi again! I think it's getting better for each new try, and this time I 've made this creature, called "I'll give you my heart". It was supposed to be a bear, but he decided he wanted to be a dog from the beginning. No matter what I did, he still looks like a dog 
He measures a little over 4 inches standing up, and he is made with norwegian wool core, and the grey fibres are nepal wool. I've bought a lot of norwegian wool, as that is most common here (surprise! ), but I bought this one piece of nepal wool the other day. It was kind of cheap, so I don't know if it's any good. I thought it was a bit difficult to felt, as the fibers were so short... Are nepal wool commonly used for needle felting?
I was also wondering how you joint the small needle felted teddys. I've only jointed my two bears with embroidery-thread, but I don't find it very ideal... Any suggestions for better solutions?
Oh, and thank you for looking! 
Hugs!

Custom TeddysHe kind of looks like my Mom's pup. Very sweet!
Miola TeddiesThe puppybear is very cute 
I have been doing needle felting bears for several years, i like it very much about jointing - for small bears - I usually sew arms and legs through the body with a tooth thread. As for bigger bears - my mum does them, she always needle them as one piece, so they can not move arms and legs, sewing throgh bid bears is not so good as for little ones

And thanks for the tips! Tooth tread sounds smart, and better than embroidery thread. I do have some waxed linen thread actually, from back when I made some jewelery. It should work good too
Miola TeddiesThe idea with the tooth tread is not mine, it was in some book about needle felting
