Avoiding Felt Bracelet Wrinkles

Video Transcript

"Okay, one of the trickiest parts of doing the felted bracelets is trying to avoid wrinkles, lumps, and bumps and trying to make it smooth. You can see here where it has started to form a little bit of a wrinkle here. And I have a couple of choices at this point. I can try and peel it back and shrink it back down which may or may not work at his point since it's starting to felt across the middle of it. That's certainly one to do it. You can kind of feel if it's going to let you do that. Now if you're early enough in the process you can actually take some fiber and add it to your piece. Very very thin things and that can help cover a crease or if you work it tight enough that crease is one of those things that aren?t really going to be noticed in the long run. So, you can try doing these things. Sometimes there is just not much you can do about it. The good thing is the creases are usually on the inside of the bracelets and they're not going to be that noticeable. So, if you do want to add some more fiber to it you need to make sure that you still have plenty of soap and water to try and add those fibers if you want them to stick. In this case, you can see that they do not really want to stick. I could show you that but I'm not going to do it. And I am just going to take this and do a lot more rubbing and a lot more rubbing on here. And if I have places that are uneven, I can rub those particular spots and that will help tighten up that spot and make it even interesting."
