Felted red cherry earrings

Guess what inspired these earrings! Such fun to wear, light as air and so easy to make.

Although I work mainly with wire, I love to explore the possibilities of working in other media and so have recently become a little addicted to working with 18.5 micron Superfine Merino wool.

Once you have made your felt beads in a size to suit, tie a firm knot in one end of a length of waxed cord, thread on one bead and then thread through earwire, knot and add a second bead then tie off with another firm knot.

TIP: Leave the last two knots loosely tied until both earrings match.
