First time felter

Post: # 175434Post Susiwaa »

Not much in the bigger scheme of things but I'm really proud of my first attempt at making felt.

Been something I've wanted to try for ages and finally got round to getting a wee kit and giving it a go.

Pleased with the result, although my technique will definately need working on!! Sure that will come with practice

Any tips others can give will be gratefully received! Now just need to workout how to use it! (was thinking decorative embellishments for stuff)

Love the colours.
You seen the price of those handbags with felt flowers on or those felt flower brooches? :shock:
Well done Susiwaa.

i have a stash of fleece awaiting felting or spinning but had to put it all away to make room for visitors - question is will I ever find it again? :shock:
