...I added long, dyed wool locks...
... and more pre-felt pieces...
...then covered the whole project with pieces of a batt...
...'infused' with cotton dots.
Mid-way through felting...
...I cut a slit for the handle.
...on both the front side...
...and the back.
I also stitched a fabric lining into the tote...
...so it's sturdy enough to carry things like fresh produce or books.
The finished tote...
...in all of its brilliant color!
