Textiles

Today in textiles, we began making felt with fabric fibers and different variety of coloured fabric fibers. Here is the steps on how to make felt.
- Firstly, you need to pull small and thin layers of the fabric fiber on top of each other. 
Make sure you do that again but the other way. For example. 
First downwards then second go across.
- Afterwards, place the net over the fabric fibers and carefully sprinkle the water mixed with washing up liquid over them. 
- Once you have done that. 
Then carefully press down on the fabric fibers so they join together.
- Then take the net off. 
Then grab one of the sides of bubblewrap, begin to roll it all up and then gently start rolling it for 4 minutes. 
- Unroll the bubblewrap and take the felt you have created. 
If your felt has lost it's shape, you can pull it back to it's oridanlly shape. 
- Finally, you need a bowl with a small amount of hot water. 
And get some cloth, wrap your felt into the cloth and carefully place it into the bowl. And leave it for a minute, once minute is up. 
Take them to the sink and rinse them out with cold water, so it gets rid of the washing up liquid. 
Then place onto drying rack to dry.
