Wet Felted Coasters Finished


The pieces of felt after they are wet felted but not yet
cut out.

Back in December I posted about wet felting some coasters. I thought I would
share pictures of the finished coasters after they were dried, cut and shaped.
The aqua and green piece ended up having streaks in it so I didn't use it.
The blue and gray I did at a later time. 



All natural - no dyes.


I don't know why but yellow and gray have become
a favorite color combo.

Making Wet Felt Coasters

Dyeing the wool.

I am getting so I really enjoy making these coasters. Color combos will pop into my head and I can't wait to make them into something. The red and brown ended up reminding me of chocolate covered cherries.
Off to cut them. I hope someday to use the scraps for ATC's.

Wet Felted Coasters


This was not real easy for me but I love the results so much I'm already planning more. 
I love the feel and look of handmade felt. I love seeing the layers of color and I love the way wool works as a coaster. I want to see if I can get better at it so more wet felting this weekend:)
I also like matching colors to my seashell collection.

Wet Felting



I thought I would do some wet felting the other day. I love the results but don't love the process as much. I'm not sure why-maybe the standing and getting wet?
I'm loving the colors-I will post pictures of the finished product later.
