Zip-lock bag felting with children!
1. Gather materials: One sandwich sized zip-lock bag, wool roving and warm soapy water.
2. Lay out the design.
3. Insert carefully into the ziplock bag.
4. Pour in enough warm
soapy water to completely
saturate the wool.
5. Once the wool is wet, lay
the bag flat on an absorbant
towel and starting from the
bottom of the bag, press it
with your hand flat moving it
towards the top of the bag
squeezing out most of the excess
water.
6. Now is the fun part. Seal the
bag at the top
and start working
the wool. Poking
it and pounding
it with little fists
until the wool
becomes firm
and felt like.
7. After the wool
has felted, remove from the bag and gently rinse in water, alternating hot then cold. Roll the
felt in a towel to squeeze out any excess water, and lay flat to dry.
