To felt I use my washing machine at a heat of 60° C. When booties are felted to the desired size, pull them into shape and let dry thoroughly. You can decorate booties by stitching on them or adding pearls and felted motives. I also used liquid latex for the soles of booties in order to prevent slipping.
