Wet Felting: Making a Bowl!

It's time to up my wet-felting game, and make a bowl! This fascinating process is not complicated, but it is time-consuming and takes a little endurance. And what a beautiful result! This won't be my last bowl.

Beautiful! Great job, thanks for taking us along! 😊

[@myownlittlehouse471]

You're welcome!

I love it! Your tool is for a ricer, something you use to push against fruit in a conical strainer to separate the juice from the skin, seeds and pulp. Often used to extract juice for making jellies, etc. I use to use one for persimmons to make persimmon bread. I love your finished bowl! It’s gorgeous!

[@myownlittlehouse471]

Thanks, Missy! I would not have thought of that! Makes good sense too. I love those solid wooden tools. Thanks so much.

[@syriserafin7043]

You did a FANTASTIC job!!!!!! Love it!

[@myownlittlehouse471]

Thank you so much!!

[@debishaw9355]

Beautiful job! I’m a beginner, too. I’ve had a few fails! But it sure is fun when it comes out as pretty as yours. I subbed your channel.

[@myownlittlehouse471]

Thanks so much, Debi! I love the look of felted wool. I want to make a hat this fall -- soon!

[@craftychrystal7913]

Girl you can be really proud of what you made! It is so beautiful! You know, you will learn something every time you make something from felt. Even if you do it for decades! And that is one of the things that makes working with wool so satisfying. Soothing, stimulating and a learning experience on top of it. And look at what you have for a take-away! if you don't know what you want to do with it (I am not much for items sitting around either). Then you have a super special gift you can give with pride to someone who will appreciate it.

[@myownlittlehouse471]

I do love working with wool too - all kinds of wool. I LOVE wet felting, but it's such a work out! I intend to do it again when I have a high-energy day, haha!

[@chermckittrick2216]

Those colors! Gorgeous!

[@myownlittlehouse471]

Thank you!

[@marlaokrant5263]

Thanks for the video! I really enjoyed it! I’ve watched Nicola Brown’s video and was about to try out a bowl myself when I found your video. It was a great review and I’m ready to give it a try! By the way, your voice is very soothing and I loved seeing how pleased you were with the end result. Your bowl was beautiful!

[@myownlittlehouse471]

Thank you so much! Good luck with your bowl. It's a work out, but very worth it!

[@nancyhawn3321]

You did a good job on this. Now I want to make one!

[@myownlittlehouse471]

Thanks so much! It's very fun (and I want to do it again), but it's strenuous work!

[@Lilyflowers659]

You are amazing and your tutorial is so easy to follow and believe you me I’ve viewed a lot. 😊

[@myownlittlehouse471]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@lauraleeharden8358]

[@kathyriche2848]

[@pattypursifull7604]

I think it’s beautiful

[@myownlittlehouse471]

Thank you!

[@Paula-133]

Your did fantastic! I made many a beret just this way as well. ❤

[@myownlittlehouse471]

Thank you! 😊

LOVE THIS 💖💖💖 I am just thinking of starting felting and this is inspirational to me - says one without roving or any idea of what to make a resist from 😂

[@myownlittlehouse471]

I had to scrounge around for something to make a resist from :) I imagine as long as it's waterproof and flexible, with a bit of stiffness, you could use anything. Good luck! Just order some roving from one of the many companies out there -- the Woolery, or Paradise Fibers, or others.

[@silverpromidi]

I am thinking of trying out one of those stiff plastic folders. I'll know next week when I go grab a few folders from our local KMart. I have some roving coming from a Lincraft store by post, when it gets here is another thing 🤣

[@nancyskinner5207]

That is gorgeous! See how much we learn when we don’t know what we are doing. And what did we ever do before bubble wrap?

[@myownlittlehouse471]

Nancy, I am SO happy to find a use for the bubble wrap I have wadded around my house, haha. Thanks so much! I'm enjoying this, but I have to let my body recover for a few days before I do the next one.

[@nancyskinner5207]

I don’t know what I’m doing most of the time.

[@myownlittlehouse471]

Me either!
