More Small Felted Purses

I think I went crazy with the small felted purse. I've made two more in the past couple of weeks, trying to use up some of my yarn stash.



So here are all four purses that I've finished together.

What pattern did you use for your felted bags? They are great - I need to make one for a Slytherin in Hogwarts sock swap soon. My email is jeremiah1300@mac.com

How do you get the bags so thick and sturdy???

They are felted.

Do you dry in the dryer and then shape or is there a better way?

There are lots of great websites that give instructions for felting (just try a Google search). You can do it by hand or in the washing machine. Do not use the dryer. You let them air dry.

You also have to be using yarn that is 100% wool and not superwash.
