Felt Slipper Tutorial - Full Length, Thorough DIY Resist & Wet Felting How To w/ Feral Forest
Channel: feral lion
Date: 2017-11-17

This is my first pair of felted wool slippers, and I document the process from start to finish. I've made wool boots and shoes before, and plenty of wool bowls/baskets, so I can share expertise while also showing you what it can look like to make felted slippers for the first time.

This video is long because it shows the whole process. I didn't want to skip or gloss over steps that you might be unfamiliar with, and I didn't want to just post photos - because I've found when teaching people to felt that seeing the hand movements involved can make a big difference. Hopefully you'll agree, and will find this video helpful. 

I did, however, 'speed up' repetitive steps after showing them the first time - that way you can get a sense for some of the hidden time that goes into making slippers that you don't see in other guides, and can still see the motions and techniques used without watching a 4-hour video.

There are other methods out there, and many other tools that can be used. I felt without bubble wrap, without special tables, without special tools. If you can learn to felt the way I do, you'll find yourself capable in any situation and able to felt even more quickly if you Do happen to have access to faster methods or tools.

Please share in the comments - have you felted for the first time after watching this video? How did it go? If you're an experienced felter, was there anything that was new to you? If you're sharing critiques, please make them constructive so I know how to change or improve for future how-to videos. Thanks! :)
