Dimensional Felt and Bobble-Yarn Sample Tote- Part 2 of 2

The finished tote...drying.



                                 The puffs on the bobble-yarn stayed perky and fluffy...

                                                        ...even after felting...



                                      ...and the stepped ovals retained their elevation.



                              A British friend of mine thinks that the orange bits...

                    ...bear a strong resemblance to a snack food called Wotsits...

                ...and I have to agree that they do look like "cheesy flavour corn puffs"! :)
                                              
                                         

                                    A close-up of the pre-felt and finished felt ovals.



                                                  Side one of the finished tote...



                                                          ...and side two.  



                                                    Next time: A bunny tote!

I wouldn't have made the connection, but yes, Wotsits are a very bright orange. However, they also shed their orange all over fingers and clothes, and I'm sure yours won't!

Rachel-Our Cheetos are the same way...orange powder everywhere!
...but no...this orange won't flake off! :)

I'm loving all of these totes you are making using different techniques.
