Needle
Felting a Purse Kit
One of the greatest things about a needle felted purse
is you can start it just about anywhere! You can felt
your purse completely dry, and then wet felt it!
But check out this FABULOUS purse by
Milda Dyke of Hershey, PA...its is completely needle felted.
There are so many things you can do with a
little texture, some variety in color, and your wonderful imagination! Just look at these great projects by some of our felting friends using our Designer Packs!
