How to make felt beads with your own hands
The first step is to cut out several strips of felt 0.5 cm wide and 10–12 cm long. Each strip is a future bead. To simplify the process, it is advisable to think about their quantity in advance.
It is possible to combine two colors in one bead by gluing two strips of material into one. The longer the strip, the larger the bead size in the end.
Then the strips need to be coated well with transparent glue and rolled up like a small roll. After they have dried, the glued edge can be trimmed slightly if required.
This is how easy it is to make cute felt beads! When they have been made in sufficient quantities, you can begin the final stage of creating the jewelry - assembly.
To do this, the beads need to be fastened together with a thread, stringing each part onto a needle exactly in the middle. You can sew a clasp on the ends or, if the decoration is long enough to be worn over the head, connect the first part to the last.
They can also be combined with decorative lace, lace, beads, stones or pearls, creating your own unique style.
Making from felt is a real creative process, an opportunity to feel like a real jewelry designer. You can combine sizes and shapes, surprise with the most daring color combinations. Such an accessory will absolutely highlight the individuality of its owner and will not leave anyone indifferent!
