We will do the first work by means ofdry felting techniques. First, you need to prepare the wool for the base. You can take any color of wool and prepare any option for subsequent felting. It is necessary to comb the wool and then fold it into a cylinder. Then, using a coarse needle, perform felting actions. Next, you should make the correct dimensions to take into account all the variations of changes that can occur at the moment when the toy is created. The necessary places where more material is needed, add a little more wool. As a rule, this is part of the hem and possibly the chest.Preparing the next stage of felting workThen, when the main part of the future figure has been felted in a strong form and holds its shape, wool in beige color should be added to the shoulder area, as well as the neck area, in order to perform more thorough felting. At the same time, we must not forget that it is necessary to leave a little free neck in order to fix the head and body together. For the lower part of the future work, we apply wool in combed form under a combed ribbon of a blue shade. We work with a coarse needle.Once the hem has been finished, it is necessarydress each toy. Then, we form the part strong and smooth. Then, we take the fibers in a shiny color and separate small pieces, then put them on the hem and determine the places for them. Consider also that the middle of the sheepskin coat will have a wider fringe. Then, it is necessary to decorate the toy with different fibers from the wool webs, using blue and white shades. This is necessary so that the shiny fibers do not stick out.Then, we form a small number of spotswhite wool options to secure and decorate our Snow Maiden. Then, we felt with a crown needle and then take a thin needle. We look at the dimensions of the Snow Maiden so that they suit us. Then, we need to prepare the wool in the main color. We felt a small shape with a coarse needle in the shape of a circle. We will get the head. Then, we watch the sizes and continue our work to wrap the ball with beige wool. Then, we felt with a coarse needle and work with a crown needle. The detail should become strong and hold the shape. Do not felt until completely ready.Continuing work on felting. We take wool.blue shade to lay out the shape of the hat. We will felt enough so that later we can decorate our future hat craft with shiny colored fibers. We use the same work scheme as with the sheepskin coat. It is necessary to cover the entire product made of wool in blue with cobwebs. Then, using a “crown” type needle, as well as a thin needle, we continue felting. ConnectionNext we have the process of connecting the head andbody into a single structure. To do this, you need to take the previously left (see above) wool that we need for this procedure. We do felting with a coarse needle, inserting it deep inside to push each free strand of our wool. We felt with intense movements so that the connection is as strong as possible. The place of connection is covered with pieces of beige wool, and then - the seam is masked. Then, with a thin needle, it is necessary to make the neck smoother. We work on the armsLet's move on to the hands.Here you need to take two bunches of the same size. For this you need a comb tape in a beige shade. We form small cylinders between the fingers to felt the necessary parts. After, it is necessary to form the shapes of small bends so that you can give the necessary shape to the palm. The blank should be in your hands throughout the entire process. Detailed felting of these parts is not important. You can make palms that will be without fingers. The loose wool from the palm is covered with wool of blue shades. Then, we felt the sleeve, using a cylindrical pattern, as before (spiral, coarse needle or crown needle). After, a bend for the sleeve is formed. Here it is necessary to bend the part so that it is strongly rolled with a coarse needle, using the place for the bend. We use white wool to make two sausage shapes. After, we put it on the edge of the sleeve, we fix the part as firmly as possible.There will be such work during the creation of the producta lot and all of it will repeat the previous processes: we take the felted elements of the sausages in order to fix them in the necessary places. We connect the Snow Maiden's hands with the help of wool. Then, the edging of the hat is formed. Next, the edging for the sheepskin coat is felted. Then, you need to connect the details of the arms and the body in the same way as the detail of the head and body. Next, you need to mask the seam, and then continue adding wool in order to felt the element of the shoulders. The product must also be sanded. Then, the product must be processed with a thin needle. We felt the detail of the arms, and then the detail of the body until the work is completely finished. Then, we comb two bundles of wool in white in order to make a blank of the felt boot. The "socks" of the product must be made larger than it turns out. But, do not complete the processing until you connect all the details and correct the size. Then, add wool ribbon for the comb in blue color, at the bottom of the figure. Next - felt the hem for the product.
