What is felt and where can you buy it?
This material is similar to felt, but is made from more delicate raw materials - wool, down with or without the addition of synthetics. Felt is available in various thicknesses, ranging from 1 mm to 5 mm, and is available in the following types:
- leafy;
- roll.
There are differences in density: felt for decorations can be used thick, soft or medium. But the choice of colors and shades of this material is extremely wide, which allows you to make jewelry bright, colorful, and rich.
Felt for decorations is sold in stores specializing in materials for needlework. The craftswoman can choose a set of sheets or strips, and, if necessary, sheets or rolls of the desired colors. The choice of felt depends on the type of decoration.

We will need a lot of petals: first we cut out rectangles, then we slightly “fringe and shape” one edge, and round the second edge. The craftswoman used 20 petals of different sizes to make the flower.
Apply glue to the rounded edge and pinch lightly.
Forming the main flower
We cut out a strip from yellow felt, cut one edge, roll it into a roll - we get stamens.
Cross weaving
This technique of weaving beaded baubles is best suited for beginners. Its schemes are simple and understandable, allowing you to quickly gain the necessary experience that allows you to move to the next level.
To make the simplest bracelet in 1 row, you will need beads, fishing line and 2 needles inserted into both ends.
- String 4 beads onto the fishing line (let's designate them as A, B, C, D).
- Using the 2nd needle, pass the fishing line crosswise through bead D, tighten and close the first cross.
- On the 1st needle (on the right) we string 2 beads (we will designate them as K and M), on the 2nd - one.
- We pass the second line through bead M in the same way as indicated in paragraph 2.
- Continue weaving until you get a chain of the desired length.
- When finished, close the chain by passing the 2nd line through bead B and tying it with a knot. Or attach a clasp.
- Melt the line so that the knot does not come undone.
This pattern of beaded baubles for beginners can be diversified by adding not one, but 2 - 3 beads on the sides, or passing a fishing line crosswise through a couple of nearby ones.
By combining beads, bugles and beads in one chain, you can achieve an interesting effect and end up with an original decoration.
Types of material
Felt is distinguished according to the following parameters:
A thickness of 1-2 mm is used for finishing, for openwork, carved parts. It is convenient to work with, it is easy to glue, sew, and assemble into multi-layer compositions and appliqués. A thicker base of 2-5 mm is suitable for large products and jewelry: handbags, books, emblems, patches;
Composition. Felt is made from 100% wool, acrylic and synthetic threads. Wool material is denser and retains heat better, but after washing it shrinks and pills appear.
Synthetic is more wear-resistant, with a minimum thickness of 2-1.5 mm it does not tear and holds its shape well. The acrylic version retains the properties of wool felt, but has a smooth structure; due to this, products made from it do not lose their original appearance for a long time.
Weaving patterns
For elementary products, creating a diagram is not necessary. But in order to weave a bracelet with a pattern, you either need to have phenomenal constructive thinking and memory, or still use a pattern.
Even the easiest master class for beginners is not complete without getting to know them, without teaching them to read and understand, because:
- They reflect the weaving technique: cross, flower, linen
- Allows you to build a pattern and match the color scheme
- They make it possible to calculate in advance the amount of material that will be needed for work
- Helps control the process and avoid mistakes
Homemade diagrams are drawn, as a rule, on a notebook sheet, adhering to the conventional scale of 1 bead = 1 cell. In the process of work, controlling the sequence of its implementation, so as not to get lost and not make a mistake, already woven rows in the diagram can be crossed out.
Choose or come up with a design, draw a pattern, weave and wear your own hand-made baubles with pleasure.
