Felt work in progress






I recently purchased a Gertie (inflatable) ball to try felting over. I wanted to stuff some felt dolls rather than felting them all the way through. Here are a few "in progress" photos. If you felt and haven't tried this, give it a whirl. It was great fun!

Where did you get the inflatable balls for the felting? I would love to try it!

Micki,

Thanks for stopping by! You can get Gertie Balls on Amazon. They are simply inflatable balls with a plug. They come with a straw to inflate them. Try toy stores as well. Soem places call them Lissome balls. Try felting websites too, like Lori Flood's. She has several sizes. This is great fun! You'll enjoy it.

I used an ordinary balloon.
