Step 1
Felt a peanut shape that measures 11⁄4 inches (3.2 cm) tall from brown roving. Create an indent to define the HEAD and BODY: make the head section about half the size of the body section.
-
Step 2
Felt an oval shaped layer of light brown roving to the belly of the squirrel’s body.
-
Step 4
Roll two brown pieces half the length of the arms and attach them to the squirrel’s head for EARS.
-
Step 6
For the TAIL, pull off small amounts of brown roving
and lay them together, forming points at either
end. Create a firm tuft about 4 inches (10.2 cm) long, but don’t felt it. Fold this piece in half and twist the two pointed ends together, forming a tail shape. Felt the flat end a bit to hold it together and attach this end to the base of the squirrel.
You did a great job on the squirrel!
