Hello all,?
I thought I'd share my diy wind screens. They cost probably less than 50c each to make, are suitable for beginners to felting and do a fantastic job.?
For the basic shape I wet felted them - basically wetting the wool with very soapy water, shaping them around the mold (a housing for a sound sleuther mic i made covered in in foil), and agitating it until it roughly felted together. Let dry, rinse soap off and let dry again. Then I took it off the mold, used a felting needle to tidy it up and fill in the thinner patches. For the dead cat style screens I loosely felted long pieces of felting wool in piece by piece until it looked like a troll doll. Overall less than two hours work each. They don't shed much at all either. If you are frugal and hate plastics like me it's a very feasible option.
