Doorknobs also need jewelry. With the help of raw wool (roving) and a little soapy water, you can easily prepare something beautiful, boho and beadwork.

Shaking is usually not a good thing, but in the case of making DIY felted wool beads, it is perfect. This project only needs a few supplies, but stirring is the key!
Check out this episode of DIY This with Jennifer Perkins. A couple of different felt options are shown. They're not just for doors, see how to use the beads for things like pins and jewelry.
Supplies:
Mix dish soap with warm water. The amount of soap depends on the amount of water. Only a drop of soap was used with this small bowl.
Submerge the wick in the water. Squeeze out excess liquid. Roll into a ball. Agitate the yarn by rolling it between your palms as if you were making a ball of clay. Keep repeating the process of dipping into the warm water and rolling until a tight ball of yarn forms.
When you have a round shape, you will need to use a needle to make a hole. Also, keep in mind that if your bead has cracks, you can add a small strand of wick to the crack to repair it.
Assemble the door hanger by stringing the tapered cords, pom poms, and tassels from the yarn with a large needle. Try adding some wooden DIY beads as well.
Attach the string of beads to a macrame bracelet or ring.
