Place your dog's head just above the front legs, with the soft unfelted neck area laying along the body. Try to divide the unfelted fibers at the back of the head so that some of them are on the chest area of the dog and others lay along the dog's back.
Use a coarse felting needle to work the head and body fibres together to felt the head in place. Check that the length of your neck is correct for your particular dog. Remember that as you use the felting needles you can make the neck shorter or thinner. Make sure the neck is in the correct position for the way the dog will hold it's head.
You can stop felting when the head is securely in place. Check the measurements of the dog to check that it is still within the correct size for the particular dog in your chosen miniature scale.
