Default Felting - Has anyone tried this?
Old 09-06-2008, 12:07 PM   #1 (permalink)

I did a small felting project around Valentine's Day, but have never really done anything else. I saw these links posted on a blog and they look so fun! Anyone else ever done this?

Halloween Cat Clothes Pin

From the Pumpkin Patch Pillow

Felted-Wool Santa Pillow

Adorable Posy Pincushions

I'd really like to try it if I can ever find the time. :-P Anyone here have experience with felting?

I have seen this on a couple of TV craft shows and thought it looked interesting but have not tried it. It does indeed look fun and what I have seen is beautiful.
