Finishing Your Felting Project

Technically, once your felting project is dry, it is done, but you might want to add some finishing touches. You might also need to clean it up a little bit by trimming off any pilling or longer fibers that were caused by the felting process. Simply use a sharp scissors to trim off an blemishes.

If you want to add any embellishments, such as the button and velcro I added to my purse, simply use a needle and thread. For a less durable finish, you could use craft or fabric glue.

Now remember back to the beginning of this tutorial when I said I wanted to make a bag large enough to serve as more of a tote bag than a purse and then look at my finished project above... and learn from my mistake. I should have started out by making a swatch and testing how this yarn shrank, I would have then known I needed to adjust the pattern much more than I did. I also would have made the strap narrower.
