We master the technique of dry felting using an examplecreating the cat Ryzhik For this master class you need to stock up on the following materials: • needles No. 36 and 38; &bul; foam; &bul; quick-drying glue; &bul; white small-section wire (for the mustache); &bul; ready-made eyes or beads; &bul; wool of such shades: orange, white, black.Procedure.The work begins with felting the body of our product. Take a fairly large piece of orange wool. Felt it a little in your hands, tangling the fiber. Then take a #36 needle and start felting the cat's body.Stick the needle into the wool until the body isdense. Externally, the body will resemble a pear: thinner at the top, thicker at the bottom. At the bottom we form a plane for stability of the figure. After completing the felting of the body, let's move on to the head. To form the head, use less wool than for the body. In the same way, you need to felt the wool in your palms, tangling the fiber.Take a needle and felt the head into a sphere.Stick it as deeply as possible so that the wool lies better. Handle the needle carefully, following safety precautions. This is how we made the cat's head. Next you need to connect the torso and head. Start rolling around the circumference. Everything would be fine, but the area where the head and torso connect is too noticeable. To hide it, tear off a piece of orange wool and felt it over the joint area. We move on to felting the cat's face, and start with the formation of the eye sockets.We carefully work with a needle, creating eyedepressions of the required size. Also carefully work out the nose and cavity for the mouth. Take the glue and drop it inside the eye sockets, wait a little, let it absorb. Lubricate the edges of the eyes with glue. Using a little pressure, glue the eyes into place. Since our cat has no ears, we will tear off two equal pieces of fur, from which we will form them. Due to the fact that the ears – The parts are too small, they should be rolled on foam rubber. Place the wool on the foam and felt each ear into a triangle shape. After that, roll them one by one to the cat’s head.To smooth out the transition and joining area,roll it with a small piece of wool. Let's move on to decorating the ears. Take a small piece of white wool and felt it from the inside. Form two small balls of wool of the same color and roll over the eyes, forming eyebrows. We felt a cat's breast from white wool.Two pieces of fur will help to emphasize the cat's nose: white and red. Mix them and roll into a ball. Then roll it into the spout area.Black fur will help highlight a cat's mouth whenwith which you need to form a small flagellum. Let's start felting the cat's paws. Let's start with the front ones. Tear off two pieces of wool of equal length, place them on foam rubber and felt them. They need to be laid lengthwise so that the cat sits leaning on them. To form the hind legs, take four pieces of wool: 2 large sizes and 2 smaller ones. From the first two, use a needle to form flattened balls onto the foam rubber. Felt ovals from smaller scraps. Roll balls to the bottom of the body, and roll oval blanks onto them. Let's start felting the tail. Take a longer piece of wool and felt the tail on the foam rubber. Decorate its tip with white wool, laying it on the tip of the tail. Now we form a mustache from wire.Since we make the cat from wool, it is easypierced. Stick a wire into the cat’s cheeks from left to right and drag it a little, cutting off the excess. We form eyelashes in a similar way. Decorate the cat's front paws with white wool, matting them.Our cat is now completely ready!
