During my new project I have to do wet felting, this is a process that I have used and practiced before. Its not one of my favourite things to do but this textile process was necessary to create a background to use for my needle felting piece.
First of all you need to get your strands of wool and lay them across a piece of bubble wrap which in on top of a towel. When layering up your wool your wool pieces will only need to be thin.
After you have layered up your wool you will need to take a piece of net and place it over the top of, after doing this you will need to completely cover all of this in water. Give it a good drench but make sure its not over flowing and water is absolutely everywhere.
After wetting your wool take the net off, if you don't take the net off it will bind to the wool whilst your felting. Roll all of the felt up in the bubble wrap and roll for 5 minutes after rolling for 5 minutes unroll your bubble wrap and pull the edges, keep rolling until no wool comes off.
