This master class felting of wool will help make a toy monkey with your own hands
We will make our monkey in the felting technique of wool. We will choose the color to your taste. At us it will be pink. After all, a monkey in 2016 will be fiery, and pink is close to warm colors. We will use the following materials and tools:

- beads for eyes and mouth,
- soap,
- universal transparent adhesive,
- piece of fishing line,
- thick sponge,
- needle for felting,
- sewing needle,

Description Head. We form a ball of beige wool. We roll it between the palms, pressing it lightly. We dump it with a needle: we pierce repeatedly on all surface of a lump, giving to it the form of a sphere. In order for the ball to be smoother, as far as possible when felting, it can be slightly rolled on raw. To do this, wet your hands with warm water, soap and roll between the palms, periodically moistening with hot (how much hands) water. From pink wool we roll between the fingers a thin flagellum. They lay out the contour of the face, piercing it with a needle. The muzzle remains beige. And cover the rest of the head with pink hair and dump it with a needle. Using the needle, we outline the outline of the mouth. We give the head a more characteristic monkey shape - a hollow in the eyes, between the eyebrows. To do this, pierce the proposed line with a needle. Torso. Take a lump of beige wool so that it is about 2-3 times the size of the head. We dump with a needle. The tummy is left beige. The rest is pink. In the technique of raw felting roll two small balls for pens, and two balls for more - for the legs. And even after - one ball for the ears. Leave the balls until completely dry, for example, on the battery. A ball for the ears is cut in half. Crop a little more. This place the ears will be attached to the head. In the middle of the ears we plant small lumps of beige wool. We attach the ears to the head, piercing them repeatedly with a needle so that it passes through the ear to the head, so that the fibers of the head and ears intertwine and the ears firmly anchored. In the same way connect the head and trunk. The pens will be made from beads with dipped balls at the ends. Stitch the ball through and go back through the beads back, exit the needle at the start of the second handle. We carry out the second handle in the same way. Both legs are made in the same way with large balls at the ends. Tail - a chain of the same beads, but without a ball at the end. As an eye, mouth, spout, we sew or glue beads. The monkey is ready. We loop the loop from the line and hang the monkey on its rightful place this year. Of course, in the first place, the appointment of such adecorative toys. But not necessarily on the New Year tree. It can be used in the festive decoration of the room, and placed on the New Year's table, maybe she will "hold" a gift in her hands, etc.
