If like me, you get through felting sponges quite fast, here is another type of felting pad that you can make at home, hopefully with materials you already have.
You will need a small amount of sewing skills, but it really is not too difficult to make.
These rice filled felting pads are really useful and will last a LONG time. You can make different sizes for different projects – very useful.
I have now made myself 2 pads. The finished measurement were 4.5”x6” (11.5cmx15cm) for the smaller one and 6”x7.5” (16cmx19cm) for the larger one.
I am already using the smaller one for projects like Needle Felting a TOMTE and the larger one for putting inside a Beret when I add the design.
Should take less than an hour.
