Mutts 'n Minis (Custom Needle Feltings!)
Started By
Looking for a gift for that special someone? How about a way to commemorate a lost companion? Or what about a unique way to cherish the love of your pet? Whatever the reason, Mutts ‘n Minis offers affordable miniature replicas of dogs and cats made from high quality wool fibers from alpacas, sheep, bunnies, and even your pet’s own shed fur!
My prices for custom minis are normally $75 a piece, but anyone who mentions "Alacrity" in their order can get theirs $20 off! Most custom needle felters I've seen charge anywhere from $100-300. I find that just crazy and way too much, so I plan on selling for a more affordable rate :)
My minis are 100% custom made to resemble your pet in any way I can. All minis start out as a ball of fluffy wool. Using several varieties of special needles, the wool is poked, probed, shaped, and twisted to resemble an animal. Then the fun begins! Using a wide array of colors, I begin to felt your pet’s exact markings and fur texture. After the fur is done, I can either add beaded eyes custom painted to match your pet’s iris color, or I can take a very fine needle, and using small pinches of colored wool, felt your pet’s eyes myself. If your pet is a cat, I can also use tiny strips of horse hair woven into the fur to create whiskers. Finally, I can make just about any accessory you can think of! From miniature dog or cat collars, to tiny balls and frisbees, all the way to service dog vests… nothing is too much!
Examples of my minis can be found below. If you would like to order, I have unlimited slots, but please be patient as 8-10 hours of work goes into every mini I make. Taking school into account, it normally takes me 2-4 weeks to complete your order. I have heard they are well worth the wait though <3
