A Mouse made from wet felted Merino Wool

1.   Roll a desired amount of wool tightly into a conical shape.

2.   Whisk a small handful of soap flakes in hot water. Wet the wool in the mixture.

3.   Dip the wool several times in the water and squeeze the water out. Massage the wool into shape using both hands.

4.   Wet felt the ears following the same procedure.

5.   Make a tail from rolled wool which is then wet felted.

6.   Rinse all the parts in clean, cold water to remove any traces of the soap.

7.   Use a felting needle, pushing it repeatedly up and down in order to attach the ears and the tail onto the mouse's body. Follow the same procedure for attaching the eyes and the nose (cut out from black felt).
