Nuno felt handbag with own dyed chiffon羊毛混雪紡手袋

I made this nuno felt handbag with own dyed chiffon for the special texture.

I used eucalyptus leaves and steamed for bold print. Then tore into a few strips.


Side 1, I put the eco-printed chiffon as pattern and put merino wool in between.


Side 2 , flower is the theme. I put my own made ceramic as the flower centre. Enclosed with wool. After fully felted I cut a hole to make it open.

Finished look. The nuno felt chiffon is my desired texture - popping up.

Close up. There're some mulkberry silk- the white one.

Handy, light but tough.

Is it go well with the eco-print scarf? Looks soft.

A bag of pretty memory 九重葛的回憶

Purple, pink and black is the combination I love to do with wool felt. Today I finished this nuno felt bag. Just wanted to take some outside pictures. Coincidentally found the path lined with brushes of bougainvillea - this purple flowers are eye-catching. 一個剛完成的羊毛手袋帶給我多年前希臘之回憶. 九重葛(又名勒杜鵑花) 是島上襯托著小白屋最漂亮的花卉.
Now that we're into fall, leaves are not yet much turned to yellow or fallen instead this sort of flowers are blooming.


Flowers not only lined the path, also in the beach.
This is the bay I usually take pictures with my items. Dusk is romantic.
This pot of bougainvillea just reminded me my days in Greece years ago with hubby. Islands of Greece are mostly rough mountains but this kind of flowers are blooming. Always such a very pretty view with the white houses in Greece.





Our winter is short but quite chilly at times. Forecast we'll have a rather freezing time this year. So I'll make a few more wool felt bags with different style and textures. This one the strap is detachable.




Materials are merino wool, mulberry silk, Wensleydale fleece and my own dyed chiffon scraps for the flowers.









Love the color - outstanding with white. Thought this is good for casual as well for night.

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.
