Snowman

To make Santa Claus's New Year's troubles easier, I propose to make him a cheerful snowman as an assistant! After all, it will be much more fun for them together to deliver congratulations and spread present. We will make a snowman using the wool felting technique. For the manufacture of crafts we need:
  • wool for felting in white, blue, yellow, red and a little gray and orange;
  • special felting needles No. 38, No. 40;
  • padding polyester


To make this craft we will need


Let's start making a snowman - a little helper. From padding polyester, using a needle No. 38, we roll out three balls of different sizes: one large, the second smaller and the third the smallest. When they are ready, we wrap them evenly with white wool.

Next, using a felting needle No. 38, we dump the resulting balls. As they fall, change the needle to 40 and continue felting until the balls become smooth and dense.

Now we connect the parts using a needle No. 38, directing it vertically to the largest ball and attaching a small ball.

Now that two balls are already fastened together, we attach the third. We attach the middle ball to the smallest one.

After this, we secure the parts well with wool, as in the photo below.

It turns out like this snow-white snowman from three balls.

Now let’s bring our snowman to life. Using a needle No. 38 we mark the places for the eyes and mouth. Then in place of the cheeks we add a little white wool and first press it with a needle No. 38, and then continue working with a needle No. 40. We tint the cheeks pink.

Then we lay out the eyes, eyebrows and mouth with black wool and roll them well.

In order for our assistant not to freeze, we take blue wool and form felt boots for the snowman from it.
