Winning idea for autumn felt figures - VBS autumn craft competition 2023

Anleitung No. 2940
Anleitung No. 2940     Difficulty: Challenging  Working time: 5 Hours

This " Scène d'automne " was submitted by Alicia. This winning idea from the VBS Autumn Craft Competition 2023 is a great example of how creatively fascinating little shapes and figures can be made from simple soft fairy wool.

Relaxing while felting

When felting, 100% pure new wool is modelled into shapes either with warm water and a little soap or dry with a needle. Get to know the craft techniques of felting in our basic instructions (idea 2156) and try modelling your first small figures yourself.

Modelling a fox

Would you like to make a fox out of wool?
The first step is to form a wire skeleton: tie two wires together, use the first strand for the front legs, the second for the hind legs, twist both around a third strand that will support the head, body and tail. Now wrap the wool around the wire strands piece by piece and felt them into a solid body using the needle for felting. Gradually shape the fox using white and brown felt wool.
Finally, place the animal eyes for sewing on the head.

Felting pumpkins

Pumpkins can also be felted dry with a needle for felting. This works best if the wool is first wound onto a small polystyrene ball and then felted. Use orange and green felt wool for felting. Model the shape of the pumpkins little by little.

The VBS Starter set "dry felting" contains all materials for great felting work. Cute figures and animals can be felted or even bags can be beautifully decorated.

The mat is used as a base for needle felting. With the help of the felting needles, which are put into the holder, the dry Pure new wool is brought into shape. Again and again the wool is pricked, so that the fibres bind together and a firm Felt is created. At the beginning it is easier if existing forms such as polystyrene figures are felted around. For this purpose, the Pure new wool is placed around the form and fixed to it with the felting needle.

Practice makes perfect, so after a short time you can start with more demanding felting work such as animals and key rings. Extra tip: When decorating felt bags, it is best to choose a template so that precise results are achieved.
