How to do it
1 Felt wool onto the polystyrene item using a felting needle. The longer you felt, the denser the wool becomes.
2 Push the amusing eyes – adding a blob of glue onto the back of the eye – into the polystyrene item.
3 Felt the beak, feet and wings separately on a needle felting foam pad.
4 Felt on the beak, wings and feet.
5 Felt the hat separately making a thick triangular shape.
6 Felt the hat onto the front of the head.
7 Felt the mice’s heads with grey wool onto polystyrene eggs. Felt the ears separately on a needle felting foam pad and then felt them onto the head. To make small eyes and snouts; felt for longer and towards the middle of the woollen dots.
Hearts Felt the hearts with a felting needle and wool onto polystyrene hearts. The ribbons for hanging are from the Vivi Gade Helsinki series and are felted onto the hearts with a small wad of wool at the end.
