To Felt:
Place bowl inside a zippered pillowcase, and put it in the washing machine
on the hottest, lowest water-level setting. If the water is not hot enough, turn up
the heat or pour boiling water into the machine as it fills up. Place tennis shoes in
the washer to help with agitation. Add 1 Tbs. detergent and ¼ cup baking soda.
You may have to repeat this process 1-3 times, depending on how you want the
finished project to look. Shape bowl and let it dry completely.
