      The popular craft of felting uses wool, water and soap to create a thick, strong and durable material — perfect for making a long-lasting bag.

      The Felted Bag Book shows ways you can try this exciting craft for yourself. Combining a number of different felting techniques — wet felting, knitted felting, crocheted felting and recycling — it offers 21 fun projects to experiment with wool and make truly stunning bags. Learn how to manipulate layers of wool tops for extra thickness, to knit and crochet fantastic designs and ways to embellish your bags with eye-catching motifs and trimmings.

      Whether you're looking for a sturdy shopping bag or a delicate evening clutch, there is a bag for every taste and for every occasion. And, with simple step-by-step instructions and inspiring photographs, it has never been easier to create one (or several) for yourself.

      Susie Johns is an experienced and talented crafter, specializing in textiles, knitting, crochet and embroidery. She contributes regularly to a number of craft magazines, teaches craft workshops and is the author of a range of books on practical subjects, such as Frame Your Memories and Street Chic Jewellery, also published by New Holland.
