These were my first attempts at felting and got given away as Christmas presents. The felted soaps are a bit fiddly to start but great fun, good thing to do with children. Very Happy

Those look lovely Kathy Very Happy I love the bags.

Can anyone post felting instructions for a complete beginner? I have two 100% wool cardigans that OH washed and tumble dried and are now two sizes too small for me. They'd only been worn once and were expensive to buy so I've held on to them and they're sitting in the cupboard. It would be nice to make something useful out of them.

Throw them back into your washing machine with some old trainers , you need somthing in with the sweaters to help felt them. Use the hottest temp on your machine. Instructions here...
