For this we need:
Felt in two colors
Soap solution
Felting needle
Nylon ribbon
Needle and thread
Two earrings (blanks for earrings)
Scissors
Take a little 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 needs to be wrung out carefully.
We put a lump of felt between the palms of our hands and begin to roll, as they roll the bun from plasticine.
Each time, the palms need to be squeezed harder until a neat ball is formed.
We extend the same thing again and get a second felt ball, leave them to dry.
While the balls are dried, let's decorate the schwenz. To do this, take a small piece of ribbon.
We tie a bow out of it, just as you tie the shoelaces.
Remove the spring and balls from the shvenz.
We string bows on schwenzy, piercing them with the sharp end of the hook.
Now we put the ball and spring back on the shvenza.
When the felt balls have dried, you can begin to decorate them. To do this, take a little felt of a different color and stretch it like a lace.
With a felting needle we fix 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.
The other end of the "lace" is also tightly fastened by driving it into the ball with a needle.
Repeat the whole process with the second ball.
Now take a needle and thread. At one end of the thread you need to tie a very tight knot.
Thread one ball with a needle so that the bundle of thread does not slip through the felt.
Now we sew on the loop of the schwenz.
We do the same with the second ball and get the original, soft felt earrings. See, making them wasn’t at all difficult!
