Yes,...Why not just felt them at home in your sink? Yes, it will take some time and some energy, but just fill the sink with water as hot as you can stand, toss in the slippers, and repeatedly mush them up, rub them together, knead, wiggle, etc. And it's okay to take breaks, letting them continue to soak in the water (and let your hands cool down 'cause water that hot hurts). When you're fairly convinced they've felted (and/or you've given up), run them under cold water, roll them up in a towel to squish out the excess water, unroll them, and then lay them flat to dry for a few days. I've actually had better luck with this method than I have with boiling my wool objects. Agitation must what makes the difference. One of my friends beats her to-be-felted creations with a wooden spoon during the felting process. Me, I just treat them as lumps of clay and pound the heck out of them with my hands.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653784245008136236.post-8405986585558666632010-01-05T08:56:05.578-05:002010-01-05T08:56:05.578-05:00Oh no!
