Instructions in 6 steps Felted swiftly with the mega felting fluid. Attach beads to a key holder fitted with a split ring and a small snap hook and you get instantly a soft, handy key ring.
Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Needle with large eye
And this is how it works:
1

Step 1

Mix the Mega felting fluid in the mixing bottle according to the instructions. Pick fine strands from the layered wool roving, which are then laid on top of each in a crosswise sequence.
2

Step 2

Take the superimposed surface in your hand and roll it up in the palms of your hands without pressure until you get a loose fluffy ball.
3

Step 3

Moisten the ball in the palm of your hand with the liquid from the mixing bottle. Then roll it up without pressure until you get a nicely shaped ball. Now slowly increase the pressure when rolling so that the fibres become denser.
4

Step 4

If the felting wool is still too dry, drizzle a small amount of liquid over the ball. Increase the pressure until you obtain a nice round and firm ball.

Step 5

Now thread the dry felt balls by means of a needle. Start by attaching the thread to the split ring, continue by stringing the felt balls and beads to your liking and finish by tying a knot.

Step 6

Finally, link the snap hook to the split ring.

Tip: You can also create your key ring in different colours of Merino wool roving (e.g. item no.53 651 00 or 53 652 00) and use raw-wood balls (e.g. item no.74 991 000) instead of glass beads.
