I’m so excited to be here sharing a little craft tutorial for you all.
I’m not a “crafty” type, so I’m hoping this “makes the cut!”
I got neutral colors to play it safe, plus it goes better with my home decor.
You won’t get exact sizes, but I think that makes it all the more fun!
Take both hands and keep rolling the wool between your palms, like trying to make a ball of playdough, but with wool!
I obviously couldn’t take a picture of that step since I only have two hands. 🙂
Keep rolling the wool in your hands until the soap has dissolved and the wool becomes hard and “felt like.”
Nope, still some more soap and still a bit ‘loose.’
Set aside and get to work on the other pieces.
I used regular needle and thread because it’s what I had in the house.
I’m sure you could use a thicker thread to be more decorative but it would also provide a bit more stability.
{If you used a thicker thread & needle, I suggest tying a knot on either side of the felt ball to keep it in place.}
You can see the various sizes.
I can also see adding these to scarves, gloves, shirts, hats – the list is endless!!
Just email me the link to your post! Have a blessed day!!
