  Detailed Steps

1. Prepare Tools and Materials
   Tools:

• Wool felting needles (coarse, medium, and fine)
• Sponge pad or foam pad
• Scissors
• Glue (for securing decorations)
  Materials:
• Wool fibers (colors: white (face), orange (clothes), pink (nose, ears), black (eyes, wings, tail, buttons))
• Glass eyes or black wool balls for eyes
• Black wool thread or embroidery thread (for the mouth)
• Black felt fabric (for wings and tail)

1. Make the Head (White Wool)
2. Take a small amount of white wool and roll it into a ball shape. Use the coarse needle to stab it repeatedly, adjusting the shape to make it firm and round.
3. Use the medium needle to refine the surface, making it smoother and more even.
4. Make the Body (Orange Wool)
5. Take a larger amount of orange wool and roll it into a bigger ball, then stab it into an oval shape to form the body.
6. Add more wool and use the coarse needle to adjust the shape, making the body rounder and fuller.
7. Connect the Head and Body
8. Add some loose wool to the bottom of the head and the top of the body.
9. Align the head and body, and use the coarse needle to stab the connection area to secure them together.
10. Use the medium needle to smooth the seam, making the transition natural.
11. Make the Ears and Limbs (Orange and Pink Wool)
12. Ears (Pink + Orange):

• Take a small amount of pink wool and stab it into a semi-circle shape.
• Cover the outside with a layer of orange wool to create the devil ear shape.
• Attach the ears to the sides of the head.

1. Arms and Legs (Orange):

• Take a small amount of orange wool and stab it into two small cylinders for the arms.
• Take a larger amount of orange wool and stab it into two oval shapes for the legs, ensuring symmetry.
• Use the medium needle to attach them to the body, adjusting the angles and positions for a natural look.

1. Create the Facial Features
2. Eyes:

• Use black glass eyes or small black wool balls, and secure them in the appropriate positions.

1. Nose (Pink Wool):

• Take a small amount of pink wool and stab it into an oval shape, poking two nostril holes and using the fine needle to carve out details.
• Attach it to the center of the head.

1. Mouth (Black Wool Thread):

• Use black wool thread or embroidery thread to stitch a smiling mouth in the right position.

1. Make the Little Devil Costume
2. Hood (Orange Wool):

• Take a larger amount of orange wool and cover the outside of the head, stabbing it into the shape of a hood and wrapping it around the face contour.

1. Wings and Tail (Black Felt Fabric):

• Cut out the wing shapes from black felt fabric and use glue to attach them to the back.
• Stab a long, thin strip of black wool into a tail shape, and cut a small triangle at the end (heart-shaped tail).
• Use glue to secure the tail at the lower back of the doll.

1. Bow (Black Wool):

• Take a small amount of black wool and stab it into a bow shape, attaching it around the neck.

1. Buttons (Black Wool):

• Take a small amount of black wool and stab it into two small buttons, attaching them to the front of the body.

1. Final Adjustments and Refinements
2. Trim Details:

• Use scissors to trim excess wool, making the overall look cleaner and neater.

1. Strengthen Shape:

• Use the fine needle to stab the entire piece again, making it more firm and durable.

1. Setting and Protection (Optional)

• Lightly mist with water and then dry with a hairdryer on low heat to help set the wool.
• Apply a small amount of clear glue to some connection points for added stability.
  There you have it—a cute little devil pig wool-felt doll! You can customize the colors or add more decorations, such as little bells or different colored wings, according to your preferences.
