Felting Sweaters

We have been working on a project  this week. We took a trip to the Goodwill store and bought a few wool sweaters.  We then felted the sweaters, cut them up and designed out Nature Study bags, we will give these out as gifts. Adventure Academy Dad cut up some wooden buttons. This was a very fun project. C.G. and S.A. looked for the wool sweaters at the store. It was like a treasure hunt, when they found one they would say 100% wool!.

    What a fabulous idea, and the wooden buttons are a nice touch.

    So sweet! I've been looking at my local goodwill for wool sweaters to try felting them for projects and they never have any. I think I'll have to go check in the city next time I go, I want to try it even more now :)
