Art beads and felt? They go together like hot cocoa and a cozy sweater on a cold winter day! Perfect for our monthly challenge theme for December, All Wrapped Up.
I’m sure there are tons of ways to combine the two, but today I have 3 to share with you.
Carol Cypher’s book, Hand Felted Jewelry and Beads has a clever project of mimicking your art beads with an easy needle felting technique. The book gallery is filled with inspiration from her students that have cleverly combined art beads with their felted creations. 12 of the projects and variations in this book feature art beads, it gets 2 thumbs up from the ABS!
