Fulling & Felting

Fulling and felting are techniques used to turn natural fibers into fabric and other creations.

Fulling is when natural fibers are first woven and then shrunk to create a tighter weave of fabric. Traditional felting uses needles with sharp edges to cause the fibers to meld together and is often used to create small stuffed animals and figurines. These artisans offer their techniques and free patterns to help get you started. Don't miss their finished items for sale - you will be amazed at what these folks create.

All the website owners have also included their favorite fulling and needlefelting tips.

Fulling & Felting Crafty Tip Wet-felting against bubble wrap is great for providing a surface with some resistance and varied surface but will not abrade your hands the way towels can after some time. Try using different sized of bubbles to see the different effects! I've found that bubble wrap helps items to felt up much faster than other surfaces, as well.
