Wow! I love making jewellery, and am always keen to see a new method, especially if it involves few materials and gives me a chance to use up odd bits and pieces. Felt is easily obtainable, and once you have mastered the simple way of making the beads (note: this is not about felt making, but making beads out of pre-made felt) you are away on a journey through color and texture, adding a few beads left over from other projects and pretty threads to make some wonderful wardrobe-extending pieces.

The designs have names inspired by sweets, desserts and pop and are in a range of glorious colors. As well as necklaces and chokers, there are also instructions for making earrings, bangles, hair barrettes and headbands for weddings or any other occasion. Alternate ways of extending this new idea presented themselves to me as I rooted through my bead stash, as they will to you. Easy to make, fun to do and wholly addictive - my favorite in this series to date.
