Orders placed now will be fulfilled starting in September on a first-order-first-served basis. I will reach out with tentative start dates as I’m starting on your order to get pictures. If you have a fur sample you would like for me to incorporate (I shape them into hearts and put them in the mini pet’s chest) I can also do that.
Last day to order is September 25th 2026.

These are needle felted mini figures of your favorite animal or pet. They’re not taxidermy or anything super realistic - my goal is to create something that resembles your pet.
Each one is handmade with the utmost care and can take up to two weeks to complete. Pricing begins at a more generic breed or color. Customization (shaggy fur, accurate spots etc) will cost extra. Shipping within the United States is included in the price.
Please limit your order to one or two per person.
Hand felted, 100% wool animal portraits to mount on the wall or have sit among your framed pictures and art.
This is not taxidermy! But as close to your favorite animal as possible to create with a needle and loose wool. This can also be your pet! If it’s an animal you have in your home, I will request pictures from you in a follow-up email.
All heads are mounted on linen and attached to a 6” diameter loop you can hang or display with a plate mount.

FAQ
-
Needle felting is where loose wool is sculpted by repeatedly jabbing and poking with a special needle. Have a look at my Instagram for some videos where you can see the process.
-
Each animal figure takes up to a week (sometimes longer depending on the details like fur) I can feasibly do up to five a month. This is a passion project and I have a full time job.
However when I do receive an order I do my best to stick to the time frame to get your order to you asap!

Like many I took on new hobbies during the pandemic. Sourdough didn't quite work out but I've always loved crafting so I ordered a kit from a local shop and made a sausage dog. I was hooked after that and started watching videos, ordering supplies online and just tackling little felted objects like gnomes and weird spherical things with faces.
One day I thought, "what if I added buttcheeks to the gnomes?" and that took off. Fast forward a few years and I'm making things that inspire me like little animals and taking requests from friends to make their favorite animals (pets or otherwise) and here we are!
My dream is to also continue making one-off pieces that I hope others also will love!

The mini pets are approximately 5 inches in length from the base of the tail to the top of their head.
Patooties are 100% wool needle felted curios. From your favorite creatures to portraits to random objects (with or without patooties) everything is hand-made with love!
I am a one-felter show and everything is made by me stabbing loose wool with a small needle so things take time to make. Give @PatootieFelts on Instagram and stay tuned for when orders open again.
