Tutorial: Perfect Felted Wool Balls and Beads

November 24, 2012 by Linda Lanese

Haley Pierson-Cox, hosts “the Zen of making” and shows us how to make perfect felt balls.  Everyone has their own special way of making these and I like to show you the latest ideas.  I recently saw a darling wreath make from different sizes of felt balls in white for the holiday and it was a stunner. There so many crafts that use felted balls and try making these perfect one. Haley is a staff writer at CRAFT Magazine, a review contributor for Craft Test Dummies, and she writes a weekly geek crafts column for FaveCrafts. She also co-host Craft Social, and a monthly craft-centred Twitter chat.
