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.
