Covering merino spirals and bursts...
...with two layers of variegated wool roving...
...then wetting the project out and flipping it over...
...to reveal the design.
Fulling the felt...
...mid-way through felting.
The original, fabric-covered bulletin board (from a thrift shop).
The finished felt.
Stapling the thin, flexible felt to the wooden frame...
...(right over the existing foam padding and fabric)...
...using a staple gun.
The newly refurbished bulletin board.
One of my daughters is moving to her first, post-university apartment...
...and she had a thrifted bulletin board that she wanted to update.
At first, we considered covering it with fabric...
...but in the end, decided to customize it with felt!
Next time: more new apartment decor.
