Felting
:
I felted the bag in the washing machine with jeans. Check the bag often and take out when it is felted to your liking.
Roll up the bag between two towels and gently press out the excess water.
Remove from the towels and stretch into shape if necessary. Stuff with towels and allow to dry overnight.
