A FiberArtsy.com tutorial:
After looking through my old tutorials, I decided it was high time to update my post on Felting Easter Eggs from a couple of years ago. The tutorial was fine but the photos, sheesh!
Anyhoo, I decided to felt up some new Easter Eggs to show you how pretty these felted Easter Eggs can be (and how much better my photos are now??).
See the full step by step instructions at FiberArtsy.com (link below)
Supplies needed:


- Wool Roving - Any kind (sheep, alpaca, etc)


- Plastic Easter Eggs


- Nylon Hose


- Warm water & dish soap


- Washer
Basically, you wrap the plastic egg in the wool/fiber.
Then you add soapy water and proceed to felt the fiber.
Here are photos of my new felted eggs:


This one is a "Marbled" Easter Egg with Natural Wool White Roving with Black Fiber veining
This egg is wrapped in Hand Dyed Merino Sheep Roving in Turquoise to Burnt Orange
Aren't they pretty???

    I know true felting is with wool, but, do you think wads of lint from the clothes dryer filter would work? Perhaps, mix a little white glue in the water? Thanks
