Needle felting seems to be a great technique for constructing sensors from conductive, resistive materials mashed up with regular felting wool.
Tools for needle felting include:
– Felting needles
– Felting brush
First try at needle felting a pressure sensor from aluminium fibers from www.softexpressions.com and felting wool from Clover.
