Felt. There are lots of tutorials out in cyberspace. I would be happy to help, so drop me a line if you have any
questions!
Find a nice big plastic container or plate to put in bottom of bag for shaping while drying. Use it to draw a circle on
some sturdy cardboard or plastic canvas for your base. Cover in pretty fabric or leave it out for a more natural
appearance.
I would be thrilled if you would send me a picture so I can add it to the photo gallery.
Enjoy!
