Making Felted Beads
You can use plain or Kool-Aid dyed wool to make your own felted beads--then embellish them as you would like. The following directions are for wet felted beads, but if you prefer, you can needle felt them instead.

Step 1
Tear off a piece of wool about the size of a golf ball. Saturate it with hot water.
-
Step 2
Start rolling the wool in your hands to form a ball.
-
Step 3
Add soap and continue to shape the ball.
-
Step 4
The more you squash and manipulate the wool, the more compact your bead will be.
-
Step 5
When you are happy with the size of your bead, rinse it and allow it to dry.
-
Step 6
Use a sharp needle to add embelishments, or needlefelt your finished bead.
-
Step 7
To use, poke a sharp needle through the bead, and attach as desired.
