First you felt the wool on the special mat with the felting needle into flat sheets. In doing so, mix the individual wool colours and fibres together
(dry felting).
Mix
Mega Filzer liquid with water in a bowl according to the ratio indicated on the product. Place the felted surface in a flat tub or on a bubble wrap and soak the wool in the water. This works best with a brush. The moisture in the felt fibres makes it easier to shape them (wet felting).
The next step is to use Clover's " felt mat Special" brush. Brushing gives you a softer transition between the individual felt colours, the wool threads mix together further
Modelling Match the wet Felt to matching flat fleeces and to further the individual parts you need to create the figures: Body, beard, hair, crib, etc. If Felt necessary, rinse the fleece with clear water and squeeze out any excess moisture by pressing lightly
Extra tip: This way the heads can easily be modelled as Felt balls with the wet one. However, if you want a firmer texture of the heads, first felt them dry with a single felting needle and then moisten them with Mega Filzer.
Dry the damp felt pieces with a hot air dryer and glue all individual pieces with hot glue. Finally, glue the figures on a bark disc.
