I have many bags of sea glass so, with the help of a good friend, I had a play to see if we could include them. So this blog really is a reminder to myself as to how to do things!
 |
| Make two sheets of prefelt - even numbers of layers so shrinks evenly. |
 |
| Place glass on...and cover with other layer.... |
 |
| Cover in mesh and rub with water and liquid detergent. |
 |
| Cover with finer net and continue....on both sides.... |
 |
| Continue until you feel they aren't going to move - you can sew round the glass too to secure it in position at the start of the process - I didn't bother. |
 |
| Lots of soaping and rubbing - when you can carefully lift and under hot water scrunch up and drain and keep working it ....on both sides .... |
 |
| Lift and throw onto table lots ....on both sides ... |
 |
| Carfully cut a SMALL hole and work the aperture smoothing off, felting with fingers .... |
 |
| Dyed commercial prefelt also adhered well.... |
 |
| Time to embellish with beads and embroidery...of course you could continue by needle felting too.... |
 |
| The cut edge of commercial prefelt could be used as part of the design ....flat pieces of glass were easier to work that the rounded ones ... |
