Creating
a FELTED BACKPACK
– Tutorial video –
In this video you can follow the backpack making process step by step, from design to finishing touches. The tutorial videos are in English without subtitles, divided into 13 episodes, and they guide you through the whole process with detailed instructions.
I recommend the tutorial for felters from intermediate level up. Although the size and complexity of the object both require patience to make, the process is easy to master by following the very detailed instructions. In the delicate details, I draw attention to possible errors and suggest solutions to resolve them.
In addition to the basic techniques of felting, you will learn the following skills:
–
You will gain insight into the design aspects and adjusting templates to your own size.
–
You’ll be instructed on how to create beautiful colour gradients.
–
You will learn the secrets of pre-felting and using silk fibre.
–
I will show you how to create a thin but strong bag body.
–
You will learn how to make an inner pocket.
–
I’ll show you how to create a strong, stretch-free strap.
–
You will learn an exciting method to create the strong top flap.
–
You will receive instructions on how to use small parts.
The tutorial includes a list for materials and tools, downloadable templates, some cover pattern samples, and a sketchy pdf with notes on the essential sequential steps.
I have divided the video into 13 work phases, in which I marked the potential rest points, where you can halt the work for several days, to progress at your own pace. The backpack takes five days to make.
The 13 episodes lead you through step by step:

I guided several participants through this process in my past live workshops, and on these occasions many eye-catching backpacks have been created. Each piece uniquely carries and compliments the colour scheme choice, and pattern design of its maker.
