Slippers felted - master class

Now we will consider in detail how to make slippers from felted wool.

1. Pattern felted slippers make it simple. It is enough to outline the sole of summer slippers or old slippers. Keep in mind that you should make an increase in the shrinkage of wool, it is about 40-50%.

2. The template of the sole for felted slippers is better to make from simple oilcloth or pimply oilcloth. Wool should be pulled evenly thin strands, but not tear. First, lay out the color for the interior finish.

3. To ensure that the wool does not give a strong shrinkage, it should be laid out in two directions relative to the template. Vertically and horizontally lay three layers one after another.

4. Begin to make grinding slippers. We pour a billet with a soap solution, cover it with a pimply oilcloth and crush it with hands so that everything is well soaked.

5. Now we start the work of GSOM. Keep alternately in each section for 5 seconds.

6. Pull out the templates and put them on the front side. All the edges that came out, pull on the template and straighten the wrinkles.

7. Now do everything again. Soap solution, pimply oilcloth and work with GSOM.

8. Gradually add layers of wool in the horizontal and vertical direction alternately.

9. In the end we impose a coat of a different color. Decor put on your own. We cover everything and put it under the GSOM.

10. When the process of making warp slippers is complete, the patterns are under a thick coat of wool.

11. Now you need to do a lapping. We put on gloves and stroked the slippers on all sides. For these purposes, it is convenient to use a roller massager.

12. On the rolling pin, the slippers are rotated in different directions, and then heated in hot water.

13. That's the difference between the sizes obtained when shrinkage.

14. Begin to make cutouts, then grind the holes with a soapy solution.

15. With the help of the massager, we straighten the seams.

16. The pusher is perfect for giving slippers a shape. At the end of the slippers rinse in warm and cold water. Further straighten and dry. Slippers from felted wool are ready.
