Punch Needle Techniques: Create a Stuffed Animal

Discover the modern punch needle technique, learning the basic and advanced stitches to give depth and texture to your stuffed animal

A soft and innocent universe, light colours, and round designs, this is what makes the art of Bérénice Robert so charming. Founder of WoolThatGirl, this textile artist never ceases to amaze with the variety of her creations and the possible applications of her punch needle work.

The uniqueness of her creations has led her to collaborate with artists such as OKO Le petit atelier and to write two books on the subject, published in the United States.
