Wet felted pumpkins

Another fun thing we did while Andrew and Susan were visiting was make wet-felted pumpkins. We wanted to make them to decorate our Thanksgiving table. Wet-felting is done by using wool, warm water, soap and some agitation. We wrapped the wool around balls to make the round shape and went to work. Using a wash board helped too. Then we dried them in the dryer. They came out pretty nice, but I really should have used a smaller ball so they would have been thicker. Learn from my mistakes! If you do this, use a tennis ball. They will be way cuter. We'll do it again next year!

These pumpkins are adorable. I love felting. Maybe I will get out my felted coin purse pattern today. You do the funnest things.
