Dry Felting

I actually enjoy this felting better than the wet felting. It's the process of taking the roving and applying it to something else or making a solid object using a roving needle. A roving needle s like a sewing needle. It has little burs/hooks on the sides of the sharp end that helps attach the roving. I'm actually doing this to my backpack for a project in one of my art classes. It's really pretty cool how easy it is!

What to Get:
Roving needle
Roving

How-To:
1. One and only step! Take a little bit of the roving you want and whatever you want to apply it to (or nothing at all), and literally stab it with the needle.
**the burs help to push the fibers down and back up through the material. It helps to have something underneath to stab into like a balled up socks or a yarn ball so you don't stab yourself**

This is a felting needle. It helps to compress the fibers.
