A detailed and interesting master class on felting a picture of "cats in love" with photos and step-by-step instructions.

We create “cats in love” from felt.do it yourself It is no secret that felt paintings are created using various techniques. By laying out the wool and covering it with glass, you can achieve a pastel effect. If you only use the wet felting technique, you will get an analogue of a watercolor painting. To obtain a clearer picture, at the final stage, some elements are worked out with a thin needle. However, this time we will make a three-dimensional painting, i.e. we will add three-dimensional elements to the wet felted material. The picturesqueness and liveliness of the painting will be higher if you use a large number of wool colors.Felting the original picture of felt with their own hands. Picture №3Before creating such a picture, stock upthe following materials and tools: • film; • quick-drying glue; • sponge; • mesh; • soap solution; • frame; • needles: medium and thin; • wool of the following colors: blue, yellow, beige, brown, green, orange. The process of laying out the canvas. Our future picture will be 15.21 centimeters in size, but the canvas needs to be laid out 10-20% larger, because it will decrease during felting. Tear off small strands from the ribbon. Lay out the 1st layer lengthwise, placing the strands slightly on top of each other, avoiding the formation of gaps. The 2nd layer is laid out perpendicular to the first. Place the wool on the film in the following order: blue on top, green on the bottom. Now you need to add the sunset.Felting the original picture of felt with their own hands. Photo №5Add some shades of green and azure sky. Don't neglect the use of silk fibers - they will help to reveal the painting's different textures and shades.Felting the original picture of felt with their own hands. Photo №6Try to make the canvas not too thick,Otherwise, it will not fit into the frame. Cover the canvas with a net and wet it with a soap solution. Perform felting movements in a circle, covering the entire surface from both sides. Check the level of felting by pulling the canvas by the fibers. If only a few hairs cling - then you have felted the canvas well. Now you can wash it from the soap solution, dry it with a towel and stretch it, aligning the edges. Felt the bodies. Work with red wool. Tear off about 25 centimeters from the tape and fold it three times. Apply to the foam rubber and create a cat in a sitting position, using a thin and medium needle. The body should be smooth and dense.Felting the original picture of felt with their own hands. Photo №7Let's move on to felting the ears and tail.For the ear, take a thin piece of wool measuring 1.1 centimeters and fold it into a pillow. Fold the corners on one side to form a triangle. Apply the piece to the foam rubber and felt it with a thin needle. Create the necessary shape and felt it on both sides until it takes on a dense and smooth structure. For the tail, you will need a strip of wool measuring 2.15 centimeters. Twist it into a tube, apply it to the foam rubber and felt it with a thin needle.Felting the original picture of felt with their own hands. Photo №4Leave one centimeter of the end of the tail, which will be attached to the body, without felting. Similarly, create another cat. You can change the color, shape and size.Felting the original picture of felt with their own hands. Photo №1Now the created cats need to be felted onto the canvas.To do this, place it on a sponge and roll 2 balls of different sizes in your palms. They will need to be placed under the head and the bottom of the cat's body to create a volumetric effect. Attach the body to the picture, placing the balls under it, and carefully felt along the entire contour, masking the seams. Now you can add volume to the hind legs. To do this, stick a needle along the contour of the paw. We finish the details. Attach the ears to the head and pierce the joint area with a thin needle.Felting the original picture of felt with their own hands. Photo # 2Place the tail in the appropriate place andfelt the fluffy edge so that it blends with the body. Stripes and spots are felted with thin pieces of wool.
