How-To:
Fashion
Materials
- Stretch fabric
- Wool felt ball
- Fabric scissors or rotary cutter
- Sewing machine
- Straight pins
- Safety pin
Instructions:
- With your fabric folded over, set your felt ball inside the fold, snip about ½” from your felt ball to account for your seam allowance.
- Cut a long rectangle at this width. *The length can be whatever you desire.*
- Sew together to create a long fabric tube.
- Turn the fabric tube right side out.
- Leaving a generous tail, tie a knot close to one end of your tube. *The tails will act as the closure for your necklace so leave what will be comfortable for you to tie at least.*
- Drop your first felt ball in, pushing through to the knot with your fingers.
- Tie a knot.
- Repeat steps 6-7 until you’ve added the number of beads you desire. *Twist your knots to the same angle because they will eventually start to curve and create a “front” to your necklace.*
- Tie your necklace on around your neck and enjoy!
