A beautiful example of felt beads in jewelry! Pictured here is one of my favorites! It's the Haparanda from Madame Bijoux, an Australian indie designer. This super unique & stunning ring is created from pure wool and pearl seed beads. When the wool is wet it is shaped into a durable & washable design. The ring is hand crafted & hand sewn for superb details. Madame Bijoux also had a store on Etsy.

Felt Beaded Rings -- Sculptural and Fabulous 

felt bead rings by Chris Rom and Geoff Buddie

Wow! These are so cool. They're from Chris Rom and Geoff Buddie, a husband and wife team. Their work has been exhibited at Velvet da Vinci Art Gallery in San Francisco!

From the idea stages through the actual creation and execution of the work we draw on each other's strengths for technical and aesthetic excellence. Hand felted wool and hand sculpted stoneware are the main elements we have chosen to express in our vision. The transformation that occurs in the construction of the felt is magical. Boiling water and soap are added to loose wool fibers encouraging little barbs on the fibers to relax and open. Agitating the wool causes the fibers to bind to one another. As a result the fabric shrinks and becomes dense and thick. Later the fabric is put into an acid bath on the stovetop and dyed to the desired color.

Felt Bead Earrings -- Delightfully Dangly 


This pair of felt beaded earrings with chain are from Megu Design. They are approx. 7cm including silver plated earring hook and chain with metallic finished glass seed beads. Shown in vivid green with metallic fibre. They're available in a variety of colors.

Felt Bead Bracelet -- Colorful 

Felt Bead Bracelet by thefunkyfelter

Etsy is the greatest online site for finding beautiful and creative handcrafted items such as this one!

This fun bubble bracelet was handmade with 100% wool beads. A combination of feltmaking techniques was used to create the multi-colored beads. Colors include orange, blue, blue-green, purple, and hot pink.

Unlike other wool bead bracelets, this bracelet is made from half beads that are dome shaped. This allows the bracelet to sit comfortably flush with your wrist. Each bead is approximately 0.75 inch (2 cm) in diameter and sits 0.5 inch (1.27 cm) high. The bracelet base is a quality silver plated metal with a snap lock closure. It is approximately 8 inches (20 cm) in length. The bracelet was assembled using the industrial strength craft glue E6000 for durability and wear.

This is from thefunkyfelter and sold for $22.00.

She makes each piece by hand, giving them a unique charm. She creates accessories, bags and scarves, always ornate with floral motifs. If chance led her to felt, she is not new to creation.

'Working with felt is simple. All you need is sheep wool, water, soap and your hands. It's wonderful to transform these long strips of wool into three-dimensional objects, only by moving your fingers! I try to invent shapes as light as possible.'

She manages to transform this rough material into objects of aerial lightness, very well designed, incredibly delicate, in a range of soft and tender colours.

Shortly after her first exhibition in Bonn she began to work with felt. She had found the material fascinating since she had been introduced to the concept of textiles as jewelry in Holland. Within a short time she had produced some wonderful designs in bracelets and earrings. This was the beginning of her current collection of contemporary jewelry combining felt, stainless steel, sterling silver and freshwater pearls.
