For this we need:
Felt in two colors
Soap solution
Felting needle
Nylon ribbon
Needle and thread
Two earrings (blanks for earrings)
Scissors
Take some white felt and soak it in soapy water. The amount of felt depends on the desired size of the balls, but be sure to keep in mind that when felting it will decrease by half.
Then the felt must be thoroughly wrung out.
We put a lump of felt between our palms and begin to roll it, like rolling a bun out of plasticine.
Each time you need to squeeze your palms harder until a neat ball is formed.
We do the same thing again and get a second felt ball, leave them to dry.
While the balls are drying, let's decorate the earrings. To do this, take a small piece of ribbon.
We tie a bow out of it, just like tying shoelaces.
Remove the spring and balls from the links.
We string the bows onto the hooks, piercing them with the sharp end of the hook.
Now we put the ball and spring back on the earrings.
Once the felt balls are dry, you can start decorating them. To do this, take some felt of a different color and stretch it out like a lace.
Using a felting needle, secure one end of the “felt cord” in the ball, driving it deeper.
And we begin to roll the felt, evenly piercing it with a needle along the entire length.
We also secure the other end of the “lace” tightly by driving it into the ball with a needle.
Let's repeat this whole process with the second ball.
Now let's take a needle and thread. You need to tie a very tight knot at one end of the thread.
We thread one ball with a needle so that the knot of thread does not slip through the felt.
Now we sew the earrings onto the loop.
We do the same with the second ball and get original, soft felt earrings. You see, making them turned out to be not at all difficult!
