Have fun felting with these whimsical floral handbags. Choose several pretty colors of Worsted Weight 100% Wool Yarn, then crochet bags, flowers and leaves with a large Crochet Hook. Felt using your washing machine for a beautiful finished result!

You will also need a sewing needle and clear sewing thread or thread to match yarn colors, a Magnetic Closure for each purse, and a washing machine, zippered pillowcase or mesh laundry bag, and a small amount of liquid laundry soap for felting.
