I tried needle felt yesterday. It had been a whole new thing for me. So I searched for some informations about needle felt on the internet the day before yesterday, and found some useful videos that we can easily learn what to do needle felt.
1.By washing

There are more information in 羊毛氈手創館
There are two kinds of ways of doing needle felt, one is poking by needle, the other one is washing by hot soapy water. Then we can shape felt into what ever we want.
When I got the material of needle felt, I was really excited! I tried by needle first, and I tried to made felt into a small ball, than added two long ears, it became a rabbit!
But all of a sudden the needle was broken into two parts! How could I poke felt with a broken needle! So my becoming-rabbit, turned into a rabbit without eyes...
Since I broke the needle, I did tried the other way--wash the felt. I set my first goal at coasters.
Just followed the steps in the book, added soapy water on and rubbed the felt, for a while, here it came a coaster!
It really took time to make felt form enough to become a coaster. I made five pieces of coasters this afternoon, but each of them looked fluffy!
In the evening, I came out an idea “How about put them together!”. Then I cut some cartons and sticked them together into a picture.
It was interesting! Here it became a funny picture..
