  1. Step 1 Raccogli il materiale e gli strumenti.
    You will need carded wool, felting needles (recommended sizes include 40 triangular for all purposes, 38 star for fine details and finishing, and 38 triangular for joining different parts together) and a polystyrene backing to work on.Optional tools include:paper sticks or wooden skewers, a sturdy sewing needle, and some sharp dressmaker's scissors.
  2. Step 2 Per realizzare una forma ovale di base, comincia col preparare la lana cardata.
    Place it in small sheets of wool the size of your hand.
  3. Step 3 Crea una forma...
    Create a basic shape by layering 4 sheets of wool and rolling them into an oval shape, pressing them to remove as much air as possible from the wool.
  4. Step 4 Appoggia l'ovale sul...
    Place the oval on the polystyrene support and hold it firmly while you begin to felt it using the number 40 triangular needle. Work with the needle by inserting and removing it from the wool until the wool itself maintains its shape once you let go.
  5. Step 5 Continua a picchiettare la lana con l'ago fino a che tutte le fibre non siano infeltrite.
  6. Step 6 Una volta completata la forma di base, comincia a lavorarci sopra.
    The oval shape can already be used for a small sculpture, such as a head or an inanimate object for example.Alternatively, it can also become part of a group of dolls or small animals.
    • Using wool in contrasting colors, embellish your creation by adding artistic details by inserting the fibers inside with the needle.
    • To create more complex characters, oval shapes of various sizes can be attached together to form heads, bodies, or whole figures of animals or people, etc., as shown in the introductory image.
