I lay out two layers of wool on each side of the template (showing just one on camera to save time) and thoroughly rub it.
Next, I add the decorative details using a needle felting technique.
After that, I continue wet felting the entire piece. This way, the design becomes fully integrated into the mat, forming one solid piece.
I felted the balls firmly, but not too densely so they wouldn’t become rock-hard, so that the wool could bond well with the ends of the cord. To make a thin cord, I first rolled the wool into a short, thick cord, then rubbed it through a mesh and gradually stretched it. After that, I compacted it by rolling it on the table. This accessory can be used as a bag charm, hair accessory, bookmark, or just a small decorative piece.
