I'm passing this award on to:
Turkey Cookies - lovely crafter, baker, quilter, gardening, photographing blogger that inspires me with more ideas than I have time for follow through
Mom in Madison - her gardening skills and the projects she does with her boys leave me continually in awe and reinforce my resolve to help my kids experience and experiment with nature as much as possible
As for our second snow day, I had all the materials around so we decided to felt some soap. We started by looking at the Little Traveler's post on felting soap so the kids could get an idea of the scope of what would be happening. Then we set to work felting. We used 365 brand glycerin soap as the base and local wool from that cute, little farm we visited as the first layer of roving, then we layered colored roving on top of the undyed wool.
We paused for a hand break about half-way through the felting process.
The final product:
Paulie tried his out in the shower this evening and gave his seal of approval.
Very nice felted soaps!!
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats on the award. :)
Oh, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love the felted soaps! We really should do that - the boys love it. I am allergic to wool/lanolin, but you'd think with soap and water it wouldn't be too rough! :)
Ok, this is a great felting project! K will love making it and T will love using it in the bath.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see your felted Black-Eyed-Susan too.
Congrats on the award... I love reading your blog.
You're so deserving of this award...I love your blog. ;) I've never had much success with wet felting, but I want to try this project...it looks fun and easy.
ReplyDeletethese look fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteI can't thank you enough!! I was planning my cooking/crafting lessons with my students on fridays (until the end of the school year) and thought about wood felting...I think I might steal your idea!
ReplyDeleteThese turned out beautiful! I need to try this with my girls!
