Instructions
Step 1
To make felted wool beads with your own hands, take a skein of wool. To create beads using the wet felting technique, use only wet felted wool. This should be indicated on the label. Separate small strands of wool and, without pressing, roll them into balls.
Step 2
Then prepare hot water in a container, add a little liquid soap to it. Dip a ball of wool in the water and start rolling it between your hands. Continue doing this until the ball collapses into a tight bead. Thus, prepare all the beads for your decoration using the wool felting technique. For beginners to work in this technique, it is difficult to create a bead of the desired size right away. If they are small in size, add another strand of wool and roll the bead between your palms.
Step 3
When all the wool beads are ready, rinse them in warm, clean water. Dry on a towel. Once they are dry, use a string for stringing the beads. Pass it through a needle with a wide hole and start stringing the beads. Try to pierce the beads exactly in the center.
Use decorative beads for decoration or spacer beads to create beads. After the felted wool beads are ready, attach the clasp to the line.
