I spent the day home sick today, so I knew I needed a project that required little concentration. Wool felting is pretty mindless when you are just making a ball. These are supposed to be a chemical-free alternative to dryer sheets, and they also reduce drying time by absorbing moisture.
I’m not sure this will end up serving its intended purpose, since one of my cats has decided it makes a mighty fine cat toy. Action shot included.
Instructions for this, and 2 other versions here: http://www.petalstopicots.com/2014/02/how-to-make-felted-wool-dryer-balls/
Very nice! I think you have another career as a sports photographer. (If the cat decides it’s his/her toy, that WAS its intended purpose.)
Does your cat have a white tip on it’s tail. The coloring is the spit of my cat when I was a kid. Mittens, because I was oh, so creative with names.
Trudy has a black tip on her tail, but 4 white paws. She turns her nose up at most toys, so I believe this has to become one of hers.
I actually did one like this with a bell in the middle of it specifically for my grandkitties.
I like that idea. I’ll do that next time!
