Do you find yourself needing more fun little Halloween decorations and you're a fan of felting?

Well, me too!

I've been making things with all the traditional Halloween motifs, but I will have to say I am a big fan of the "eyeball"

So here is what I came up with:

You Will Need (3 things)

  • Felting Needle
  • Soap and water
  • Wool Roving

Steps (4 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    The base of the eyeball was wet felted.

    I started with some reverse spun roving (I carded back some wool yarn back into fiber)

  2. 2

    Here it is just starting to be wet and soapy in the first stage of rolling

  3. 3

    And here it is all wet felted up into a nice ball.

    OK now onto the needle felting.

  4. 4

    I cut a small circle of green flat wet felted roving and then needle felted it onto the eyeball.

    I then cut a small piece of the black and rolled it into a tiny ball (wet) and then needle felted it onto the center of the green area of the eyeball.

    Designer note: I realize my eyeballs are not the same size. I am OK with that. I think that makes them "spookier"
