Have you ever shrunk a wool sweater in the wash? Well then, welcome to the world of felting. All you need to felt is wool, hot water, soap and agitation. These are felted bowls I made over balloons. I covered a balloon with 3 layers of wool roving (that nice fluffy wool from a sheep, that has been cleaned and dyed). I then add hot soapy water and rub the balloon with bubble wrap to agitate or "felt" it. Once it starts felting you pop the balloon, rub it a little more and voilayou have all these cute felted bowls all over your kitchen for your husband to adore when he gets home from a hard days work!! I seriously became addicted to making these....I have so many...could not stop making them. I use mine for "clutter catchers" in the kitchen and bathroom, or have put a jar or pot inside them for flower vases or plant pots.
