\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Supplies:<\/b>
\nhot water
\nsoap (I like Sun or Dawn)
\nwool roving or top
\nyour hands
\na bowl<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 1:<\/b>
\nI like to do a bunch of beads at one time, so I keep water in two pots on the stove heating on low and have one where I’m working. Scoop about 2 cups of hot water into your bowl.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 2:<\/b>
\nTear off a bit of wool roving and submerse it in the hot water.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 3:<\/b>
\nPut a teeny tiny dot of soap in the palm of your hand and roll the wool around and around, pressing harder as you feel the fibers mesh together, until you have a tiny little bead.<\/p>\n

Pictures of the finished beads- aren’t they adorable? I love them!! You can use them on bracelets or as buttons on a pincushion. Larger ones can be used as pincushions themselves. Even larger ones are great play balls or dryer balls!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are some that I tried different things as I felted the beads. On the green and yellow one, and the orange and red on the right, I did two colors of roving. The other ones were different tries at wrapping roving around almost finished beads.<\/p>\n

Have Fun!<\/p>\n
