This is part four in the needle felted cat head series - Needle felting Cat Ears tutorial. I'll show you how to make cat ears that are realistic and detailed..... and answer questions such as what's a henry's pocket? how do I create one? How do I add ear hairs?

There's 12 steps including the basic ear shape, adding some inner ear colour, 2 methods for the back of ear fur, how to create a Henry's pocket, making the ears thin, attaching to the head and I reveal a special technique at the end on those cat ear hairs....
The end result will be some gorgeous cat ears of a Tabby Birman..

I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for watching!

What mood is your cat going to be in? please let me know in the comments - I'd love to know.
