Felted Soap

I love when I find an activity that can include J-jo.  At 18 months, these are limited, but soap felting was a great one.
 I got the tutorial from here via Sew Liberated, but I must say, I read the directions and then didn't quite follow them, so the product is nowhere as beautiful as the ones on the tutorial.  I used a lot less roving and did forgot pantyhose until further on in the process.

 In making, not quite finished.
Pretty much done, but a bit soapy.

 They're wonderful to have in the bath as they double as a washcloth.  The kids are loving using them and I wish I had made one for myself:)

    I've never heard of felted soap - looks interesting. It's fascinating to see Jo-Jo so busily participating in all the activities - I can't believe how fast he is growing!

    This looks fantastic! I want to try it too!

    I tried to wet felt valentines with my class the other day, but it didn't work out so well. We ended up needle felting them. I used a needle tool with a guard and it was great! I love how sensory these kinds of projects are.

    Hmmm, maybe felted soaps for Mother's Day are in my future.

    : )
