Wet Felting – Wool & Embers

Wet Felting Experiment: Can I add Pockets and a Flat Strap to my Bag?

Hello everyone,

I am back with another bag, but that’s cause the previous two were not for me… and I realized I really didn’t like the round strap.

So I decided to embark on a Felting Experiment and see if I could improve the architecture of the felted bag.

I first decided to try and make a felted strap… which, as expected, was not so easy to make: it was difficult to make it look perfectly straight and with the same width… it turned out a little bumpy but not that bad after all. I did adjust it a little bit with needle felting, to take out some of the bumps and that’s it. I would say this was a success, EVENTUALLY.

Felting 15 Years Old Wool

I am not sure I have shared it openly on my blog yet, but I am actually using up my entire stash of wool right now. I have so much wool and yarn that I bought in the last 15+ years that sometimes I think I could open a shop (and this is NOT intended as a flex)… so I have decided to not buy any more of it until I finish what I have.

To be fair, right now I also have no budget for any more wool and yarn, so I thought I would just go for it and try and make something beautiful out of the kilograms of wool that I have, forgotten in the attic.

So, when I got a request for a bag from my nephew (it is a gift), I went and picked some of the first wool I ever bought, which was a Kg of light brown roving… to see if I could make the bag out of it.

Wet Felting a Bag with a shoulder strap

I have to say in advance that I am an almost self-taught felter, I have never had the occasion or the budget to join workshops or courses on wet felting and all I have learnt comes from the few free videos I have found online, the few tips and tricks that I have managed to gather and eventually A LOT of trial and error.

So I am not ashamed to admit that felting a bag has never come easy to me.

Particularly getting the strap (or handles) to actually join to the body of a bag during the wet felting process felt almost impossible.

My Felted Earring Organizer

I have had this idea for a long time: a jewelry organizer made entirely of felted wool. Even though I’ve been thinking about it for a while, I never actually sat down to make it… until yesterday!

I decided to start with the simplest version, as I actually have multiple ideas for similar jewellery organizers. This one is a felted “booklet” with two pages where you can freely place your earrings – I created this one mostly for my stud earrings.

Solving a Messy Problem

While it a simple object, I am really happy of how it turned out because it solved a real problem for me. Before this, my stud earrings were just sitting at the bottom of a drawer in a big mess. Now, they have a home, and the whole thing looks pretty neat!
