You will need:
Some thick felt (I got a 50cm wide piece from the haberdashery shop in town for �3.50; probably enough for 4 pairs)
Foam pad
Felting needle
Extra wool fibre to decorate
(The above came in a kit from ebay)
Pattern (see left)
Decent scissors
1. Measure the length of the feet you want slippers for.
2. Using paint's scaling function, or a photocopier, scale the pattern so the length of the sole is about 1cm longer than the feet.
3. Cut out 4 soles and 4 uppers.
4. Using your felting needle, felt the uppers together in pairs along the long front seam.
5. Decorate. I used spirals because I can't do anything more artistic, and then the peacock feather effect because I was experimenting, it didn't work and I needed something to cover it up!
6. Felt the uppers together along the back seam.
7. Lightly felt the sole pieces together in pairs to give a thicker sole for your slippers.
8. Felt the upper to the sole at the heel and toe, then work around the rest of the foot. I found that the upper at the inside of the foot was a bit too long, so I had to fold and felt the overlap down.
9. Stick your hand in a check for gaps, refelting where needed. (Remember to take your hand out again before felting again. Felting needles are sharp!)
