Wet Felting: The Tiny Birdhouse
Few things make me happier than discovering a project that takes little preparation, doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, and, upon completion, runs little risk of being thrown away by other family members. Display it proudly on your mantle, or hand it to a deserving friend. This is now one of our go-to after-homework projects—after choosing a few colors from our felted sweater bin, my young design team drafts the plan and takes the plunge—I am commonly appointed Ms. Scissoruser, Madame Knot, or Dr. Needlethreader. Also, this a great girls-night-in project with close friends on a wintry night. Even those chronically un-crafty friends will be inspired if tiny, thick sweaters are united with a full wine bottle and candlelight. Most importantly, the quirkier the outcome, the better.
