Bubble Hat
Last time I showed you a bubble hat I was making http://wp.me/p1WEqk-2za after it was felted it looked like this
and the inside like this
Next I added the bubbles using felt balls for the ones that stay in and marbles for the one I will cut.
Then I cut the bubbles and you can leave them but I stretched them to so more of the colour inside the bubbles.
I didn’t get a picture of it finished . I thought I had but it was one when 2 hats had the bubbles but where not cut. It will give you an idea.
If I can I will take a picture of them at the show today and edit it in. They may already be sold, I can’t remember. I know I sold some of the bubble hats.
I did just manage to get a picture of the hat. is sold about 1/2 hour later.

They look really pretty Ann. 🙂
Thanks Koffipot. I did update the post and it has a picture of the finished hat.
I love the idea of cutting into the bubbles and using marbles. I shall have to give it a go. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Nanacathy2, share some pictures on the forum if you do give it a try.
Very nice design on the bubble hats. It is always cool when you cut out the marbles to see the inner colors. Hope your weekend went well.
Thanks Ruth. I like playing with bubbles. You can see a bubble cuff in one of the new pictures on the post. I did update the post and it has two pictures of the finished hat.
wonderfulk hats. I’m sure you’ll sell them both. At what stage did you make bubbles >_ from what I see I assume it was after fulling. How did you shape the hat in the end? In the future I must try to make a hat too.
Thank you Nada. I add them after fulling. I add a few then try it on and add bubbles until its the right size. I did update the post and it has a picture of the finished hat
Great hats Ann! I love the bubble one. It’s fun to create such fun things. I hope you get another pic before you sell it! Hats are on my list as well.
Thanks Marilyn, I did get a picture. I updated the blog with them.
Adding the ‘bubbles’ gives the hat such a lovely shape – I’m not surprised it sold so quickly – it’s gorgeous.
Thank you Lyn. they do help get the shape just right.
When you get a chance would you please give us step by step instructions on adding the bubbles and felting them in – Thank you – Frances
Frances they are not felted in. the wool is stretched around the felt ball or marble while the hat is still wet. They have elastics around the bases. I use elastics for horse tail and main braiding. you have to get them on really tight.
Congrats on your bubble hat and sales!
Thank you Luvswool.
Hi Ann I am new at felting and wanted to ask how you added the “bubbles” to the hat after the hat was felted? Did you add them before you fulled the hat.
I love thee bubble affect and thought your hats were great.

Wow, Zed, your bubble hats are just so very beautiful… Love them..great colors. Are they all wool or do they have some Nuno in them.. I will look forward to see photos of the show.
Thanks Judy, all the bubble hats I have right now are wool. I will need to make some more for my next show. show pictures will be my next post. (Ann not Zed 🙂 )
