Bare feet, feet with boots, feet with flip-flops, feet with shoes! All were needed to turn this pile of fluff into a respectable felted rug. Everyone helped. Some stomped, some planned out the pattern, others helped to keep the water held in by holding the edge of the tarp up. It took about 40 minutes of stomping until we were finally able to say we had pretty much fleted a rug. What a blast!!
