Winter is the perfect time to cozy up and try some felted wool projects, so here are some DIY felted wool projects and ideas to inspire you! I’m rounding up a variety of ideas for crafting with wool rovings specifically, because if you have purchased some for one of my wool roving projects, you might want some more ideas for how to use wool rovings…
DIY Felt Bead Necklace:
After spotting colorful felt bead necklaces in a posh store, I couldn’t stop thinking about them! They are like little sculptures. I learned how to make felt wool beads and made my own felted wool necklace!
DIY Felt Ball Flowers:
While making the felt bead necklace above, I realized that the ochre wool balls looked an awful lot like billy buttons! So I made some more and turned them into DIY felt flowers.
DIY Felt Ball Garland:
Once you learn how to make felt balls, you can make so many crafts! I turned white felted balls into a minimalist DIY felt ball garland for the holidays. You can make these felt ball garlands in all kinds of colors for all kinds of holidays.
DIY Felted Wool Ring:
If you cut a felt ball in half, you can make a pretty DIY felted wool ring!
DIY Needle Felted Wool Eggs:
Okay, maybe you’ve had enough DIY felt wool balls! Let’s change shapes a bit, and make DIY felt wool eggs! Technically, I cheated and made this even easier for you…
DIY Needle Felted Applique:
You’re going to love needle felting – here’s how to use wool rovings to fix or add some interest to a wool or cashmere sweater! You’ll never guess the hack for getting the shapes right…
DIY Needle Felted Art:
If you’re feeling more creative than crafty, you can use needle felting techniques and wool rovings to make your own artwork. Basically, you can layer and “paint” with wool rovings to create landscapes or abstracts. It’s very meditative, I highly recommend.
I hope you enjoyed this round up of DIY felted wool projects and feel inspired to make wool roving crafts!
yes, winter makes me crave wool & felt- the warmth, the texture, either muted or bright colours, it screams winter. I still have to order some roving- seems a good new years project when things die down after the holidays.nice inspiration!
Winter is the time for wool. Too itchy in the summer (not that that has stopped me). Definitely get some wool rovings – there are so many fun crafts to do with them. Some knitting stores carry mixed bags which is fun because you can try a few different colours, of smaller quantities. That's how I got mine – I have not yet ordered them online.
