How to Make a Simple Stole Striking! Part 2. Felting

This is Part 2, here is Part 1.

If suddenly for some reason one of the dots is not felted, in this case felt it with needles for dry felting — this is a very good method to resolve small troubles...

Next, we rinse out our stole without felting it to the end. We remember that after rinsing our felt slightly shrinks. You should not rinse delicate felt in hot water... Rinsing in hot water and generally the use of hot water in felting are another technique of making felt, this felt will have different properties!

You can rinse in acetic water (add some vinegar), the hairs will strongly connect to each other, and then continue the process of felting... You must decide if you need this stage: you must learn to "feel" the felt and its "maturity".

It is time to spread our stole and dry it on a horizontal surface. The stole is ready!

Let's sum up the results:

1) Our stole perfectly matches the color of the main product.

2) Our stole has the same "circle" shapes of the main product.

3) For the decoration of our stole we used the same textures, and the dot texture and the way of dots layout do not repeat. This makes the product not monotonous, you want to look at it for a long time!

From the facts mentioned above we got the product, which perfectly complements the main product, but does not copy it!

I got a new wonderful set of clothes, consisting of a lightweight coat of a straight silhouette and a stole with decorative and spectacular elements!

I wish you success! Yours, Fashion.shkola.
