Wool Lion

Materials:

Bleached Hessian, Silky Faux Fur, Chenille Stems & 20mm Joggle Eyes

How to Make a Wool Lion:

1. Draw a 12cm circle in pencil on a piece of Bleached Hessian. Cut the shape out.

2. Thread a large eyed needle with Ostrich Wool and begin stitching, using a running stitch around the outside of the circle. Keep stitching 4 or 5 circles towards the center of the Hessian.

3. Tie off the stitching and pull up the long threads of the wool to fluff it out.

4. Use felt, pipe cleaners and joggle eyes to complete the facial features.

5. Wrap lengths of Ostrich Wool around your hand a few times and secure it with thread or a pipe cleaner for the ears. Glue the two ears in place.
