Agitation is key to perfect DIY felted wool beads. This simple project requires minimal supplies, with vigorous rubbing creating the magic.
Watch Jennifer Perkins on DIY This for multiple felting techniques. These beads aren't just for doors—use them for pins, jewelry, and more.
Supplies:
Mix a drop of dish soap into warm water in a small bowl—the ratio depends on your water amount.
Submerge roving wool in the soapy water, squeeze out excess, and roll into a ball. Rub briskly between your palms like clay. Repeat dipping and rolling until a firm felted ball forms.
Once rounded, pierce with a big needle for threading. Fix cracks by adding a thin strand of roving and refelting.
String beads with tassels, pom poms, and embellishments using the large needle. Incorporate wooden beads for variety.
Secure the beaded strand to a hoop or macramé ring.
