felt ball garland










 
Wisps of lolly hued fleece.
A drop of dishwashing liquid.
Warm water and much gentle rolling.
The lure of the cool paddling pool and cold water baths for shrinking woollen wonders. More rolling.
A tapestry needle, jute twine and an overcast afternoon.
Growing a garland as the storm clouds opened up.
A cool change in the air and an eclectic tree draped in rainbow loveliness.
Smiles of pride
 
Steph x
 
Joining in with these kindred spirits.

    So so beautiful Steph. That would have to be the most beautiful garland I've seen adorning a Christmas tree. I love this idea. xx

    I had no idea you could roll felt into the balls like that, I've always just purchased them that way. I will definitely be trying this!!

    I love this. Have never really "wondered" about felt until I saw the fairies that my sister n law made. Had no idea it was so pliable and easy to work with. I would love to have a go at this - something that would look great hanging in my boys room all year round. xo

    I love all of the colours and what a great activity to do with the kids. It looks like B enjoyed herself rolling them in the pool.
