I always presumed that felt making was a complex business. Then, a few weeks ago me and my son went to a felt making workshop for mums and tots. I was so surprised to find that within a few minutes we had managed to produce something resembling felt. Of course he was having the most fun squirting water and soap everywhere, whilst the hard work of agitating was down to me. Nevertheless, the instructor reassured me that there wasn't much that could go wrong and there was probably no such thing as too much water or too much soap! Just as well.
I was so encouraged that I decided to buy some supplies to try it at home - this is what we bought ::
And this is what we made : :
Not bad for our first attempt. My daughter is going to turn hers into a hairband - watch this space!
