How to swim with your own pigs.
To begin with, we tear off the required amount of pink wool and descend the fibers with each other. A rough needle for filling, we begin to respect the wool in the form of a circle, at this stage it is important to work as deeply as possible tool and rotate the workpiece, dumping it evenly from all sides.
I felt the workpiece to the halfcle. It will be the head of our future work.
In the form of a plastic eye fail the society to the depth of the eye. With the help of glue, fix the eyes in the orphanages.
Now separate the hemispheres for the cheeks, small strips for the age and heels of our piglery. All volumetric parts are piled between your fingers, constantly rotating the blanks on the helix. In places where the items will be connected, we leave wool not shattered.
Also separate ears and mouth separately. Flat parts in a special mate for filling or ordinary foam sponge. We do not forget that in places connect the parts, we leave wool in the free state. Now we apart all the details to the head.
Next, the knobs and legs are also smeared, as described above between your fingers. For hoofs use beige wool. At the stage, when the blank is silent, we can set the bends, bending the part in the desired position, caring it in this form.
From a small span of pink wool with a ponytail, as in all separate details, the connection site is not allowed. At the stage of loose respect, we set it a swirling form.
The body of the pig is smeared in the form of a pear and we apart all the pre-prepared details of the wool, which we left not cut down at the base. Medium needle caring to work to the maximum dense state, correlacing forms.
The finish needle is grinding work, hiding all the irregularities and places of connection with the help of finely broken pieces of wool. From yarn knit sundress and bezel for our piglery. We wear accessories, and our cheerful piggy is ready for a sweet life!
