Felting a camera sheath

Step 2 Diving in

Undeterred of the fact that I only had a very vague idea of how felting is actually done I got some wool and started out. Needless to say this first try didn't work out all that well as you can see in the picture. What did I do wrong? Mostly it was that I did it too thin. I had only layers of wool, and pretty thin ones at that, when you should have at least three. I also had too little soap and not hot enough water, but those are minor points as it only makes the process take a bit longer.
