Felting is a big workout, but old masters have a lot of
right tools to help the process to make it shorter and easier. When surfing internet
and watching youtube videos a few times I'd seen a very useful tool that I
remembered from ethnographic museums and my childhood - mangle board for
"ironing" bed sheets. In my
childhood that tool you could find just in rural villages, but any way I
remembered that tool and the process itself. So a few weeks I had an idea in my head
to purchase or to make myself the mangle board. I checked ebay and understood that this
is out of my reach, so hey .. I'm handywoman I can do that:o))) What you need? Home depot near you and mitre saw or other handy power tool:o) Of course would
be nice to have handles as in original version, but for now it will do;o)
Also I tried to use or let's say accessorize one pair of
slippers. Some hole puncher, eyelets, coarse thread. Here you go... before and after. It
looks more finished, doesn't it?
