Author's lesson in dry felting from wool: felting a hedgehog Felting a cute hedgehog from wool is quite simple. And at the same time, this activity will not take much of your time.
The materials and tools you will need are:the following: • glue; • brush; • needle №36, star №38 and reverse №40; • teddy mohair; • felting brush; • wool of several shades.
Let's get started.We will start forming the hedgehog from the body. Take a #36 needle and make a hemisphere with light wool. The convex part is the back, the opposite is the tummy. Remembering the navel, make a small bump on the hedgehog's tummy. It is also necessary to make the following sides:
Naturally, the hedgehog will stick out a littleskins. Once you have felted the body of the hedgehog well, start felting the head. Make it a little elongated and tapered towards the nose. The opposite side of the head should be made fluffy. Since the head is not completely done, you need to outline the hollows for the eyes, as shown in the illustration:
Now take the dark brown wool and felt the nose. After that, gradually felt the nose to the muzzle. Don't forget to mark the nostrils.
Next we felt the eyes (for those who want to speed upprocess, you can buy ready-made eyes). You can make the eyes yourself from self-hardening clay. To do this, roll out 2 half-beads and glue them with quick-drying glue, as shown in the picture:
After this you can make the eyelids.It is best to do this on a brush using a multi-needle device. Take light-colored wool and make flattened rounded blanks that will be slightly larger in diameter than the eyes. They will be the edge of the hedgehog's upper eyelid. To do this, bend them in half and secure them with a needle (see the illustration). Similarly, form the eyelids at the bottom.
After this, carefully attach them to the eye sockets.The area near the nose and closer to the eyes is darkened with dark brown wool. You can start felting the paws, consisting of fingers, feet and palms. The palms should be made slightly elongated on both sides. At the feet we make round heels and convex pads. Make each finger separately, 5 on each paw. Leave one tip of the fingers fluffy and attach it to the workpiece. Mask the joint area with fluffiness using a reverse needle. As a result, you should get paws like in the picture:
Next, we will felt each paw and head to the body.After that, we move on to the skin. First, we wrap the hedgehog's back with the material and make darts. We cut it out, apply the resulting material to the teddy mohair, and cut out the skin. It should look something like this:
Each element of the skin is sewn together, a hedgehog is placed in it, and its body is sewn to the skin. The joints are decorated with fluffiness using a reverse needle.At the end of the work, shade the recesses on the body, paws and muzzle. For this purpose, mix brown and black pastel. In the finished form, you will get such a cute and nice hedgehog.
