Merino Nuno Felt Handbag 羊毛 nuno felt 手袋

My colleague J. asked me what craft I’ve done recently. Puzzeled a while.... huum.....ya, still addicted to nuno felt after Vilte's workshop. This bag was just made with the skill of nuno felt. Here comes a set of nuno dress and bag.

See how I made it. I used a plastic resist, put on some small pieces of colorful silk chiffon and merino wool then covered it with a silk chiffon and did the same steps of felting.

I always try to make stuff as much as possible with my own made accessories. The ceramic button, the cross wool & metal strip as well the lining all by myself.

This is my first experiment of a nuno felt handbag. I should have put some more wool between the layer of wool and chiffon patterns that would have made the chiffon edges more “melted look”.
The front and back look (double image for large look).

My belief is the more I practise the better it looks. Will have another go. Nuno felt is fun and amazing. This merino bag with nuno felted flower is a giveaway on my next 100th post, Hope you’d join the fun. Please see the previous post for details and come back.
