Mattress for my bed 1:12 is ready.

The Mattress is ready and fits.
Now I'm going to felt a blanket.
Working on the parquet floor isn't possible because we have to go to Arnhem to get the Veneer.
The veneer I had isn't enough for the floor so meanwhile I make things for the bed.



Things you need for wet felting are:
soap
felt
bubblewrap
mosquito netting
towel
water.


Put pieces of felt on the netting.

One layer horizontal the next layer vertical.
I've put 5 layers because I didn't want to get a thick blanket.
Now sprayed some lukewarm water over the felt.
Then I washed my hands with the Sunlight soap and pushed the soap into the felt.

Now I make a roll with the netting and the the bubblewrap and at last...

the towel.
Now I must keep on rolling to get a felted blanket.
For a good instruction there is a video on my blog about felting which I found on YouTube.
