Hey there, I had some fun making felt beads this weekend. I have a stash of wool and the supplies for needle felting and I seem to get it out every few months and make a thing or two. This time I decide to make some beads. I wanted to do the technique where you make a big cane and then slice the felt with a knife when it's finished. I also wanted to make a lariat that I could embellish. I was happy with the way the cane beads came out. It was a lot of fun and I set up a little TV tray work station so I could watch some Olympics while I was felting. The lariat didn't turn out so well, but I have seen dogs toys made out of felt so I tied it up in a knot and let Otis have at it. It was hours of enjoyment, as you can see. I think next time I will make more dog toys.
Snaps on those felt beads, Girl! And that is the cutest dog picture...Sigh, I love it! Rocker plays with scraps of felt he finds on the floor for hours too! Cute.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool! I have been making polymer clay canes for quite awhile now but had no idea you could make a cane in felt... really neat!
ReplyDeleteCindy,
ReplyDeleteGlad I could give you a new project! My arms are still hurting from all of the rolling, I bet you would be in better shape with all of your previous cane making.

Thanks Candie,
ReplyDeleteThat's nice to hear coming from an authority on felt beads.
Talk to you soon,
Jennifer
Those beads are yummy! And your dog is so cute playing with the felt. At least if you were frustrated with the finished product, he was having a good time!
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend-

Carter, yes Otis had a ball with the ugly lariat. He now gets excited when he finds my box of felting supplies.
