Join me as I guide you through all the steps necessary to make a beautiful seamless wet felt bracelet. Starting with a small quantity of wool (I used merino) and adding optional embellishing fibres (I used silk) learn how to work around a resist (template) to create strong yet soft and sculptural jewellery. This is the perfect project for anyone new to felting three dimensional pieces and wonderful for using up small quantities of supplies left over from other projects.
