I saw this somewhere in a magazine.

The colours I used aren't great but they are leftovers from a scarf I made. Didn't have anything else.

You Will Need (5 things)

  • Wool
  • Cookie Cutter
  • Felting Needle
  • Foam Rubber
  • Bubble Wrap or sushi mat

Steps (6 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Gather your supplies.

  2. 2

    Put the cutter on the foam and fill it evenly with wool.

  3. 3

    Start puncturing/stabbing the felt. Make sure you go very close around the edges too.

  4. 4

    Take off the cutter and gently pull the shape off from the foam.

  5. 5

    You can stop here or use hot water and soap to make the felt stronger.

    Put half a teaspoon in a cup of hot water. Put down your shape on a sushi mat or a piece of bubble wrap.

  6. 6

    Carefully roll it up and gently roll it between your hands. Open it after 10 seconds and turn your project and roll it up again. Repeat a couple of times. It will shrink it. When done, wash out the soap and let dry.
