Default Felting soap

Hello!
This is Dora Renee' Wilkerson. I just wanted to let you all know
that my kids and I felted soap today for the first time. It was fast,
easy, and fun to do. I really enjoyed doing it with them.
I posted a mini video on my blog and a couple of pictures if anyone
would like to see it.

Default Felting soap

Someone should have warned me..lol.. I really did like doing this
project. Now this week we are going to make our own soap (I wish I
would have known that I liked felting over soap so much because I
would have made a ton of soap up and then felted it all for gifts.)
Oh, well it's fun and I can just do it again!! lol..

Hey, what other things like this is so addicting? I should just ask
now because I don't need any more addictions...lol... I don't think
I'll have a bar of soap in my house anymore that isn't felted.

No, Georgia, you're not.

Good to see you back Noreen - I hope you're feeling better.
It was probably all that excitement you generated on the board earlier
in the week that caused it! ;-)

No, you are not the only one as I was just as puzzled but my friend Google
almost never fails to find an answer.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/richpub/syl.../14WNUJIORAMYD has a
good explanation.

My grandma has a sort of flannel with a zip, and the soap goes inside.
It's kind of nifty, and the soap never slips out of your hands, and I
loved it as a child. It also meant that she could just slip in the last
little bits, making it go further. I'm guessing felted soap has a
similar purpose, except for the thrift aspect; it makes a kind of
soap-and-washcloth in one.

Thank you everyone for the explanations. I checked the googled site, and
it
seemed too cool not to try--so I sent it to the kids, and maybe that will
discharge my urge to try it! g
