Felting In a Few Easy Steps: FIVE WORKSHOPS: SCARVES, TELEPHONE CASES AND A COSMETICS BAG
Felting is the process of making felt, a textile that is produced by matting, condensing and pressing fibers together. Felt can be made of natural fibers such as wool or synthetic fibers. <br>This how-to guide presents steps for completing five workshops on felting — a method of crafting from wool fiber: two scarves, two cases, and a cosmetics bag. These workshops primarily use wet felting techniques, with the exception of a few details that are crafted by dry felting. The less experienced crafters will love these intermediate level crafts. <br>It is not difficult to complete the projects in this book. Mastering the felting techniques is quite easy. For wet felting you will need wool, a soapy solution, polyethelyne foam, and a rolling pin. To create parts using the elements of dry felting, you will also need a thin needle and a foam rubber sponge.
