Master class with a photo of dry felting from the wool with their own hands toys - horses.

Horses are not only helpers andmeans of transportation. They are also beautiful and graceful animals. They are kind and smart. And this master class shows how to felt a horse from wool, which will decorate the house, and will also be a good gift for someone close. Felting a horse takes a long time and is not at all easy. But the result will please any needlewoman and her family members, especially children. After all, such a toy can be used as an animal for Barbie dolls, for example. Materials and tools:

• wool (brown, silver, white);
• needle;
• sponge;
• artificial eyes;
• glue gun.

Stages of work:You can choose any color of wool to your taste. In our master class, we will make a brown horse. Take a piece of brown wool. We need to take more wool, since we will make the head and body whole. First, we felt the head on a sponge or foam rubber. The horse's head will be in the form of an oblong circle - an oval. Excess wool should remain unfelted.Now we will use this extra wool for feltingbody. But we may not have enough of it either, so when felting we will add a little brown wool for the body. First we felt the horse's neck, and immediately after it the body itself. On the back we create a bend, typical of these animals.Now we need to make legs with hooves. To do this, take silver (gray) wool and felt small sausages. These will be hooves.And then we wrap the resulting gray sausages with brown wool. And we start felting it. The tip of the gray hooves should remain sticking out.We felt the legs to the horse. We need to felt them tightly so that they hold well.Now let's start our toy little by littlepaint it white. Add white wool to the horse's muzzle and chest. Felt it well. And where the nostrils will be, make small indentations to show that this is a nose. The indentations are made very simply - poke a needle in one place several times, and they appear.Now it's the ears' turn. Horse ears resemble leaves. That's why we'll felt exactly this shape. This is how they should look.And again we leave a little bit of unfelted wool for fastening. We felt the ears very well to the horse's head.This is how it looks now. The horse is almost ready. All that's left is to make a mane and tail, and attach the eyes.Let's start with the mane.You can take the same brown color, but to make the horse more beautiful, we will take white wool and make the mane white. We tear off such pieces of wool that they are enough for both sides of the neck. That is, the wool should hang down on both sides. We will go through the middle with a needle. And so we will felt this wool.Now we will even it out. To do this, we will trim the mane a little with regular scissors.Let's make a tail.We tear off white wool and start felting it to the tail. To avoid leaving an unnecessary white spot under the tail during felting, we will add brown wool. That is, we felt the tail and paint the felting area with brown wool. The tail should be felted without lowering it down, but on the contrary, so that the base of the tail is raised. Then, in the end, it will not hang and dangle at random. And it will look very beautiful on the finished toy. And all that remains is to glue the eyes. We either buy them ready-made in the store, or make them from polymer clay. It is better to glue them with hot glue, since it holds such details well on toys. And you do not need to wait for the glue to dry, everything happens quite quickly here. Here is such a wonderful and beautiful horse!
