How to Make Felted Soap Wet Felting And Needle Felting

This video tutorial demonstrates how to create a felted bar of soap. It covers the materials needed, including soap, wool, nylons, and water. The process involves wrapping the soap with wool, using nylons to secure it, and felting the wool onto the soap with hot and cold water. The tutorial also includes instructions on drying and shaping the soap, as well as decorating it with needle felting. The project is suitable for all ages, with children requiring some assistance.

What is the primary material needed to start making felted soap?

• Bar of soap

• Plastic wrap

• Cotton fabric

• Acrylic paint

Why might you use nylons in the felted soap process?

• To add color to the soap

• To help hold the wool tightly

• To protect your hands

• To make the soap smell better

What type of wool is initially used to wrap the soap?

• Cotton wool

• Core wool

• Synthetic wool

• Colored wool

What is the purpose of using hot and cold water during the felting process?

• To agitate and seal the wool onto the soap

• To make the soap softer

• To change the color of the wool

• To clean the soap

How long should you agitate the soap in water during the felting process?

• 2-3 minutes

• 5-7 minutes

• 8-10 minutes

• 15-20 minutes

What should you do after removing the nylons from the felted soap?

• Let it dry on a towel

• Put it back in hot water

• Add more wool

• Wrap it in plastic

What is the final step after shaping the felted soap?

• Heating it in the oven

• Wrapping it in foil

• Letting it dry completely

• Adding more wool

What is a key consideration when needle felting a design onto the soap?

• Poking the needle straight down

• Using cold water

• Using a lot of wool

• Avoiding breaking the needle

What should you do if your soap is not completely dry before needle felting?

• Add more soap

• Use more water

• Wait until it is fully dry

• Proceed as it helps the wool attach

What is the benefit of using a slight angle when needle felting?

• It makes the design larger

• It prevents the needle from bending

• It helps combine the fibers better

• It speeds up the process
