Raccoons have long been YouTube stars. They are agile, dexterous, cunning, inquisitive animals. Many children would like to have such a friend at home, but, alas, this is impossible in most cases. However, why not have a hand-made felted raccoon made from wool in your room? This master class will be devoted to how to make a raccoon from wool.

First we will need to prepare the wool. If we want to make a realistic toy, then we need to choose the right color. In nature, a raccoon's fur consists of several colors combined together, which generally appear as a gray color. If you find one, that's good, but more often I just mix a few colors (beige, brown, black, white). It turns out a completely natural color.

Let's start felting raccoon wool


Now take a fine felting needle, size 40, and start felting the ball of wool. Tear the wool into pieces, form it into a ball and roll it on all sides with a needle. For ease of felting, use a foam sponge. It is also good to lay non-woven material (insulation under the laminate). When the ball becomes dense, start felting the body.
