Next, using a poodle, you need to pull a little wool from the tape, put it on the lining (foam sponge, foam) and proceed to felting. Since the blanks have already been made, you just need to roll them over. We need thin needles (do not leave any traces, and the surface becomes more compact). Simultaneously use three needles, fixing them with your index and thumbs. The unnamed and middle fingers are at the same time on the body of the needles. Remember, the needle should come out of the product at the same angle as it entered! Otherwise, it will quickly break down.

Stage Three

Half-diced piece of wool is removed from the lining, tightly wraps the necessary part and nails. If the details show through, attach another piece of prepared woolen blank. To ensure that there are no boundaries at the junctions, fluffy edges should be left on half-doled pieces of wool.

To produce the details of the head of the kitten, you need three small, but quite tightly stitched lumps of wool. These are the future cheeks and the basis for the mouth. Balls rivet first along the entire circumference, and then on the entire surface. After this, attach a small piece of prepared felted hair to the bridge of the nose. The nose and mouth of the kitten, of course, can be sewn from above, but for the sake of truth it is better to seal them out of the hair of the right color.

Stage Five

Sewing the head of the kitten to the body and masking the seams with wool with unstained edges. Next, sew the kitten's paws and tail and also hide the seams under the semi-perforated pieces of wool.
