Wet felting a seamless handbag - AMUSE by Anja Musek

[@Hello_Spaceboy]

Not gonna lie when I clicked on this video I was wholly convinced that a felted handbag was gonna look awful, glad you proved me wrong ❤ you've got incredible skill

[@jinxpatrovna707]

Wet felting changes the game

[@Eyagsf]

First time I have seen this process. Such an organic art form. Love the purse 👜♥️

[@amusebyanjamusek]

Thank you.

[@jonicornell-mersilk]

Loved the way you finished off the bag with the leather straps, and without needing to sew. Where do you get those wonderful straps? Fantastic looking bag. ❤

[@namaste5207]

Que maravilla ❤❤por que no tienes más videos 😢

[@cactushahaha]

you are amazing, wish there will be more to watch

[@tyheyden6372]

Absolutely love your design style and approach to your work. I also feel that the video editing matches the pace of your work very well. I'd be interested in any more videos you make about other projects. I also wanted to say your care of the craft is refreshing, I don't think I've ever seen someone comment on every post like you have for this video.

[@chileanchinch]

Amazing ! Loved the music and step by step process if wet felting. I'm a spinner and often have leftover fibre that are too short for spinning. Thank you!

[@amusebyanjamusek]

Yes, the music (played by my husband) makes all the difference. Great idea that you spin the leftover fibers!

Beautiful and creative, thank you for sharing your ideas 💡

[@amusebyanjamusek]

Thank you.

[@SusanGustavson-xx1qh]

I so want to do this

[@AtourinaAssyrian]

So so beautiful! I am wanting to make a little wool pouch but with a wool rope and seamless. I can’t find a video of something similar- any tips on how to attach the wool rope to a little wool pouch would be so appreciated. Thank you!

[@amusebyanjamusek]

Sure. If you want to felt the rope seamlessly into the bag, you have to first felt the rope leaving the ends dry and than connect (felt) the ends it to the core of the bag while felting... hard to explain in words. All the best to you!

[@raffaelathiesmeyer4091]

Schönes Video. Gerne viel mehr davon....!!!!! Liebe Grüße Raffaela

[@ruthjohannatlc7970]

Love your video! Hope to see more!

[@mokunyann]

Thank you!

[@andreanauheimer1987]

Beautiful project !!!

[@amusebyanjamusek]

Thank you.

[@faybarnaby9711]

Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful bag. I have made a backpack with wool batt combined with cotton muslin for extra strength that saved me from quite so many wool batt layers before the wool roving. I am a little stuck on how to attach the straps though. I see you used a belt for❤❤ are the holes on one side or both sides?

[@juanseguel6853]

😍😍😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 que maravilloso trabajo 😃👍

[@marjoriemiller2193]

Hello Anja, your bag is incredible. So talented. I’ve been looking for an extremely long strap with a buckle. Where did you get yours?

[@subhasmitadwivedy5188]

What a beautiful bag! Looks soo classy! Where can I get it?! Can you make one for me?!

[@amusebyanjamusek]

Of course I can. Please find my contact on my website: www.amuse.si Thank you!

УМНИЦА! СПАСИБО! ЛАЙК И ПОДПИСКА!

[@denizkeskin9963]

Hi there, so nice to see how to felt a bag! Can you tell me where I can get this bamboo mat? Or what is it called?

[@amusebyanjamusek]

Those are bamboo blinds for the windows ;-). You have to be creative in felting.

[@chimeraranch]

Beautiful work.. what is the dimension of your resist vs those of the finished bag.. thank you

[@amusebyanjamusek]

Thank you. The resist was about 25% bigger than the finished size. Factor of shrinkage was about 1,3.

[@chimeraranch]

@@amusebyanjamusek thank you

[@pakjira.2110]

Hello, I am very fond of work in fur. But I don't know how to make them stick together. So I want to make sure that the soap you use is normal soap. Or soap that is used only for fur. Thank you.

[@amusebyanjamusek]

Hi, I don't use fur, but only sheep wool. For wet-felting you can use just about any soap or detergent, but I use Marseille soap,

[@deborahcost217]

Could you pls tell what you used as a resist? How many layers of wool did you make on each side? Did you use batt and roving both? I would like to make this bag for myself, I love it.

[@amusebyanjamusek]

For resist I used bubble wrap. 8 layers of wool on each side + 4 for the inside pocket. Batt for basis and roving for decoration. Have fun felting!

[@arlenetoth608]

What a lovely bag, and studio! Can you tell us what batts you used? I haven't made a bag yet, although I did make a hat that is now being made into a little bag. The straps are very clever too!

[@amusebyanjamusek]

Thank you! I used Gotland wool.

[@inspireinterior3259]

Do you have master class ?

[@SeareanMoon]

Do you have another channel or ?? This was a lovely bag.

[@amusebyanjamusek]

Thank you. No, this is my only channel on KZbin. But you can find out more here: www.amuse.si

Super schön😍

[@amusebyanjamusek]

Vielen Dank!

[@paulasantossangreal1133]

Beautiful work 😊 Can you please tell me how much wool (quantity or grams) did you use in this project? TY 🙂

[@amusebyanjamusek]

About half of kilogram.

[@paulasantossangreal1133]

@@amusebyanjamusek TY, Anja.

[@codymaltzman945]

I have wool sheep and would love to make something like this. How must the wool be prepared to even start this process

[@amusebyanjamusek]

The wool should be cleaned and carded.

[@viviansantos6666]

Nice tutorial. What do you call those huge roving wool? I only see little rolls? Where can you buy them? Thanks

[@amusebyanjamusek]

For this project I used coarse (about 30 mic) Gotland-Island fleece, but you can also use Bergshaf etc. wool in fleece. You can get it in specialized stores for felting - in Europe the bigger ones are: Woll Knoll, DHG, Word of wool...

[@susanwilson1483]

I love this bag!! Where did the leather straps come from? I'm having trouble finding leather that long.

[@amusebyanjamusek]

Thank you. A friend (who is a leather product maker) makes them.

[@erikmueller9934]

What kind of waterproof top do you have on your table? I’d like something like that.

[@amusebyanjamusek]

Hi Erik. I use a finely ribbed rubber mat.

[@52xzmh]

What was the tool you used at the end there? Looks like a wee comb or something. Beautiful job!

[@mogberrypie]

I think it was a razor to shave of any fuzzy bits.

[@amusebyanjamusek]

I used a regular razor - but you can only use it when the felt is totally dry.

[@kktai9181]

Where did u buy the felting ? Thanks

[@3Dhyana]

Is the water hot? What type of soap are you using? TY

[@amusebyanjamusek]

Yes, the water should be as warm/hot. I use Marseille soap.

[@SavorTheSourdough]

Is that soap?

[@irenatoros5756]

finally ♥️

[@margotmargot4426]

what shrinkage percentage we should account for initially ..Thanks beautiful project, but when I see no answers I take off my like button; it just doesn't seem fair.

[@amusebyanjamusek]

Dear Margot. The shrinkage factor for this project was about 1,4. (I suggest you always use factors for the calculations of shrinkage, not the percentages.) All the best to you.

Beautiful work. I am new at wet felting. Love your purse. The wood iron tool. Where do you purchase that?

[@amusebyanjamusek]

You can get it in specialized shops for wet-felting (World of wool, Wollknoll, DHG Shop...) or somebody can make it for you.

For handbags I usually use Gotland or Bergschaf wool.
