Been enjoying these 2D felting projects!

I ordered a bunch of these off Temu - Because the templates often aren't generated properly, or some colours in the reference pictures aren't provided, it's been fun supplementing with my own stock and ideas ๐Ÿ˜Š

How do you store your felted items ?

Hello, I have been needle felting for a few months using only acrylic fibers ( its a bit slow but not that bad ). I store my completed projects in a shoe box. I want to use sheep wool but there is a risk of pest infestation. Raw wool can be stored in zip-lock bags, but I am afraid such method might damage felted items especially if it has tiny details. What is the best way to protect these items ? Something which doesn't take much space would be preferred.

Want to start needle felting, but allergic to wool

Iโ€™ve already done some googling so I know acrylic isnโ€™t ideal, does anyone use alternative fibers? Cotton? Bamboo? Please help!

(I have more than a year experience with other fiber arts including crochet and loom knitting, and Iโ€™ve been sewing for nearly 20 years. Just want to expand my horizons.)
