Snowflake Workshop
We create the main magic of winter from wool - a wonderful snowflake that will decorate any interior, create a festive mood and at the same time will not melt.
In this workshop, we create a simple and spectacular snowflake by wet felting. The snowflake can be a wonderful decoration for a festive interior, a Christmas tree and even an accessory - a brooch or earrings.
You can work with absolutely any wool. The project is simple, but requires accuracy. Suitable for beginners.
In this workshop, I will show you how to felt a snowflake from start to finish. We work together in a livestream. The livestream time is about 1.5 hours.
What do we need?
- 1. Mat for wet felting. I use ribbed kitchen cupboard mat from IKEA shop. It sold in rolls in kitchen section of IKEA. You can find something similar.
- 2. Soap.
- 3. Water container.
- 4. Scissors with sharp tips.
- 5. Piece of mesh fabric (tulle, thin mosquito net or some fabric for tutu skirts), size A5 is enough. You can also use a piece of nylon stockings.
- 6. The material for the template - a piece of thick plastic bag or laminate underlay.
- 7. Wool: I use extrafine Australian merino in ribbon (18-20 micron). But you can use any wool - fine, coarse, in ribbon or carded. The only thing is that snowflakes made of a coarser wool will be more hairy on the surface, so that you will have to spend more time cleaning them and removing the hair. For a snowflake with a diameter of 6 cm I use 2 g of wool.
- 8. Decoration. I do without decorations. You could, for example, add sparkles from glitter. See the free Icicle Workshop for this technique.
- 9. Rope or ribbon if making a snowflake pendant. For the accessories, you will need extra, for example, earring hooks.
- 10. A measurement tape.
- 11. A hand towel.
