Wet felted surprise Easter Eggs

We chose beautiful colours from our wool

Held them closed in our hands and dunked them
in hot soapy water (the fun part)...............
softly squeezed the water out and rolled them in our hands
then put them into stockings and rolled more....and more......

then rolled them between bubble wrap(fun again look at this pop)
rinsed them in cold water and put them to spin in washing machine
and then put them out in the ~~sunlight~~
