My first attemptsThese 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.

Those look lovely Kathy 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. |
