Millinery Felt is different to the felt you use for crafting. It comes as a cone shape hood, or a capeline hood. Wool felt is the most affordable ofĀ the felts and is a joy to work with. You can also spend a lot more and purchase a fur felt or a peach bloom felt cone/capeline for a better quality finish and it is also an absolute dream to work with. But a wool felt is a good place to start.
In this course, we learn how to wire the edges of our cut felt to create more sturdy bases and more dramatic trims, again without the need for any blocks. I would recommend you take this course before you take the blocking felt course as it will give you a confidence in how to trim effectively.
What you will need:
- A Wool Felt Cone
- Needle and Thread
- A scissors
- An iron
- Cotton covered millinery wire
- A Metal Band or Elastic.
- A sewing machine will help you speed up the process of attaching the wire, but you can also handĀ stitch it if you do not have a machine.
LetĀ the Magic commence.
